my weekend

Well this weekend I was pretty pumped I didn't have to work. So on Saturday I went to Augusta and saw a movie with my g.f the movie was fame. I didn't like the movie I don't really like that kind of movie it reminded me of high School Musical. Well that was the high light of my weekend it wasn't busy, I had fun.

School shut down

They want to cut back on school days of instruction. This wouldn't bother me because it means less days of school for me. But if the do limit the days and cut back on the budget we will be saving money. That means there going cut back on other things too, less activities for the student, less education for the students.

Homeless shelter

I did not know there was a homeless shelter in skowhegan.Everybody that was at the shelter was there for a second chance, a chance to change their lives around. I think its nice that they have a shelter for the homeless but what about the woman. There must be homeless woman as well. If they could get money to build on to the church maybe woman could live there to. I would volunteer to help at a homeless shelter if not help I would donate money to help build on to the shelter so they could reach there goal to shelter 24 homeless people.

October October,
Oh how I love October,
leaves are changing,
climates getting cold,
Fall is coming into place in October,
Halloween is coming,
that means candy, oh how I love October,
October October.

My first reacion to when I heard Goodnight Saigon and Christmas in Fallujah was "wow that must of sucked to be in the war, I would not want to do it." I wouldnt want to leave my family to go fight in a war I dont want to leave everyone around me knowing I may not be able to see them again.



Christmas in Fallujah


It's evening in the desert
I'm tired and I'm cold
But I am just a soldier
I do what I am told

We came with the crusaders
To save the holy land
It's Christmas in Fallujah
And no one gives a damn

And I just got your letter
And this is what I read you said
I'm fading from your memory
So I'm just as good as dead

We are the armies of the empire
We are ethe legionnaires of Rome

It's Christmas in Fallujah
And we ain't never coming home
We came to bring these people freedom
We came to fight the infidel
There is no justice in the desert
Because there is no God in hell

They say Osama's in the mountains
Deep in a cave near Pakistan
But there's a sea of blood in Baghdad
A sea of oil in the sand
Between the Tigris and Euphrates
Another day comes to an end
It's Christmas in Fallujah
Piece on Earth goodwill to men

It's Christmas in Fallujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
It's Christmas in Fallujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
It's Christmas in Fallujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
It's Christmas in Fallujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Marry Christmas from Fallujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Marry Christmas from Fallujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah [5x]

Oo-ra!





Goodnight Saigon


We met as soulmates
On Parris Island
we left as inmates
from an asylum
and we were sharp
as sharp as knives
and we were so gung ho to lay down our lives.

We came in spastic
like tameless horses
we left in plastic
as numbered corpses
and we learned fast
to travel light
our arms were heavy but our bellies were tight

we had no homefront
we had no soft soap
they sent us playboy
they gave us bob hope
we dug in deep
and shot on sight
and prayed to Jesus Christ with all of our might.

We had no cameras
to shoot the landscape
we passed the hash pipe
and played our Doors tapes
and it was dark..
so dark at night
and we held onto each other
like brother to brother
we promised our mothers we'd write

(chorus)
and we would all go down together
we said we'd all go down together
yes we would all go down together.

Remember Charlie?
remember Baker?
they left their childhood
on every acre
and who was wrong,
and who was right?
It didn't matter in the thick of the fight,...

We, held the day,..
in the palm of our hands
They, ruled the night
And the night, seemed to last as long as six weeks
On Parris Island
We held the coastline
they held the highland
and they were sharp
as sharp as knives
they heard the hum of the motors
they counted the rotors
and waited for us to arrive

(repeat chorus)

The Vietnam war doesn't affect me but if I was around when they had the draft I would be a little bit worried. I would hate to be drafted to Vietnam I wouldn't want to be forced into a war that I didn't know what I was fighting for.
