Babies are cute and smelly and always asleep but also never sleep long enough run on sentances can't do the experience justice. I have learned to change diapers and swaddle, and even feed. I also learned to just wait. Jezy cries sometimes and I do everything I can think of but its just crying I have to remind myself. Evintually she stops then we can play again. Mostly its me playing with her at this point. I'm so excited to see her personality come out.... Anyway here is some more pictures for those of you who don't have myspace..

The Power of Prayer

2006-07-11T19:06:00.000-07:00

Well Just a small update.... I will be starting my 40 days leave 24 July and while on leave I'm going on my mission trip to casa de elizabeth, see my ministry page to learn more. After that I have a week to clear the army and 20 days travel time. Then I'll be making my way across the map to Cali and Portland. So if you like me and you want to party come on and let me know. Anyway so today I say an older gentleman who was obviously a veteran of ww2 or korea. I was going to say hi just because I have mad respect for older veterans . I walked up and he had a Jesus saves hat. I told em I liked it and he started ask me if I went to church and how my relationship with God was.

I told him I was working towards my Bible degree and my hopes for success in working with children this next month. He added my name to his prayer list to ask his church for prayers. Then he did something that caught me off guard. As I was trying to sneak away he said stop and asked me to please pray with him right there. 30 seconds later it was done a quick painless prayer that really more than anything made me feel like i was very silly. Talking about my dreams and ambition for ministry and this great old loony guy was doing it. I need to stop in the fog of life and just pray. May God continue to bless me with a dailly spiritual slap in the face. AMEN

Missing In Action

2006-06-15T19:40:00.000-07:00

Hi all I've been missing for a while. Sorry it's been so long but the the things is I've been working like a dog lately. I have gotten alot closer to finish my career in the army and move a step closer to finishing my degree. Right now me and Em have been looking for work for a job for me either in Stockton or Portland. Stockton because it's family and it will be easier to get work and support my wife, Portland because it's Portland oh yeah there's the whole finishing cascade thing. Plus I'm excited about showing my wife all the great churchs in Portland. So my friends life has been a great blessing. A week and one half ago I got to see the baby he was so cute. Waving and shaking his butt. ( I say He but we are waiting to find out) Anyway they tried to tell us it was older than he was becuase he was so big. But that happens with us Peters babies. I think my mom said I was 9lbs 10 ounces and my brother was bigger than me. But luckily enough while my aunt in law was down I learned the richards girls were great baby makers. They just pop em out with no real issues. So hopefully her natural baby producing genes despite my huge baby genes will not be so bad but we will see....

Till we meet again,

Ryan Lee Peters

Check out the ministry page it will be soon.

My friend Jordan

2006-04-22T00:17:00.000-07:00

My friend Jordan has come to live with me for a while. He is a great guy and helps out around the house alot. We have fixed some of my front lawn, planted some cool flowers and painted alot in my house. We play video games and talk about God girls and good music... It's nice to have friends around. We are planning a mission trip this summer to visit a cool orphanage and help them out. We are planning to learn from them and just be there to help ease some pressure from the day to day work it takes to take care of 120 young children. These lives these "Lost Youth" someday will be blessing or cursing others. I just hope we can be some sort of blessing in the limited capacity of a few weeks. We have more information on my ministry site but just wanted to update some of you guys.... Also my thoughts this week have been centered around the journey of life. It seems the destination is so important in the end Jesus will ask have you fed sheltered provided for him. I think we (religious folks) forget the journey is as important as the destination. Who can I serve today? Who can I give my life for right now? Where are my tools needed? While thinking this I realise I have so many great friends and blessings and just wanted to point out to the world that Jordan is a great guy who has always listened and lived the journey....

OH No

2006-04-16T04:51:00.000-07:00

Well lately I've been worried about my baby. This whole being a dad thing is scary. I always imagined I will be a lil over-protective, but I'm so freaked out right now I've going to have to learn to chill a lil bit. No point to be a crazy over protective freak, But at least at this stage I see how fragile life is. My baby (God willing) is only one cm thats crazy.... But in a month or two the arms and legs will allready be mostly determined. I wonder how God will bless my baby. Maybe he/she will be really small (make a great plumber) or big and strong or an athlete or a writer or so many possibilities. I think it's fun thinking about all the what if's. I especially wonder if it will have my wierd nose. I'm pretty sure he/she will have very wide feet. Over the next nine months I have so much to do to better myself and figure out how to afford a baby. God will help me I'm sure but it will take alot of work.

You may trust the women you know...

2006-04-04T12:03:00.000-07:00

After seeing this picture of a robot woman I question all kinds of things. I always wondered why James was such a anti-robot Nazi. I think though he might be under some kind of robot mind control. It was rumored his wonderful wife was a she-bot. I have no idea how this came up but I've been warning him for some time and he seems to not take me seriously. So I wish I could somehow show him the power of the robotics industry (skynet), but I don't think this false front of vigilance will keep the hate mongers at bay much longer. She-bots will eventually try to take over the world and James will be the first to go. If you don't believe me look at this . The can also reproduce. They also have learned to survive on human food. It shows that these robots can live on flesh, sugar and well any kind of food. So if they can look like people and eat like people the real test is can they well get rid of it like people. I'm not sure robots have learned to make waste resembling human's waste. If they have we may have no hope. But for now I think checking peoples waste, may be our only hope. If you know James try to help him find out once and for all if his wife is or is not a she-bot. You may be his only hope. Won't you try??? Please warn James!!! if you know him or not this may be his only chance...

What does it mean to be an American?

2006-03-21T06:44:00.001-08:00

Throughout history being an American has had many meanings. Including but not limited to: religious zealot, outcast, Foreigner, world savior, spoiled brat... Looking at the war in Iraq I realized something, freedoms have made us lazy. Those who are oppressed and held under a thumb fight, or give up. For most of our countries great history we have fought. But with freedom, prevailed and self-reliance we have also learned sloth, gluttony, and fear. I ask the question if as Americans we live easy lives relatively then is there anything in life worth fighting for. As the real Democratic process leader in the modern world we have even lost passion for representation. Did you realize the Iraqi people despite the threat of constant violence voted per capita much more than Americans do. This heir of protection and safety came into question on 9/11 but we have forgotten already. I'm not saying we should be war mongers or even fighting in Iraq I simply ask the question what are we willing to fight for in this life? Anything? In the future how will history judge our generation...? I think at the present rate very poorly....

Is Porn Harmful

2006-03-10T07:27:00.000-08:00

I am a christian who has struggled with porn for a long time. About five years ago I found http://www.xxxchurch.com a great site that has helped me say no to porn. Porn is not only addicting it can lead to several problems in peoples lives and according to some plays a part in as much as 33% of america's divorces today. If you have had a problem with porn or no someone is has please refer them to this site and be willing to be an accountability partner in prayer and with the sites software that works as its own "big brother." I also wanted to point out the work that this site does and there willingness to attack a front "the christian right" has forgotten about. They minister to porn stars. They wear shirts like "Jesus loves porn stars" and such. They even have a booth at the national porn convention in Las Vegas and offer bible studies. To some this might seem a little extreme and in your face, but they say it is no more extreme or in your face than pornography, and its the attitude of Jesus, he'll meet you where you are at.... I happen to agree and wish more people would be willing to minister to those who seem "lost." If your not a christian and you think porn is great I'm willing to hear your points let me know. xxxchurch has had some recent debates with porn giant ron jeremey and a not fair and balanced report can be found here http://www.craiggross.com/bostondebate.pdf. I believe with my whole heart porn is one of americas biggest downfalls. Let me know what you think about the site the debate or what you think..... also check out pete the porno puppet http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4874417

If you could only bring one thing...

2006-03-03T13:51:00.000-08:00

I know this is kinda over done in general but I think its a good question if you had to move to a crazy Island like on LOST (if you have not seen this show get netflix and get the first season now while you have a chance)? Rules can't be a person, Bible or anything silly like a genie in a bottle... Also has to be realistic like no internet or cable...

Okay me I would bring ummm a hatchet.... okay I stole that from book turned movie but it is a good idea...

The pets are here

2006-02-22T17:04:00.000-08:00

Well today pixie peters (the blond) came home from the shelter after her surgery. Ceasar tried to fight her when I introduced them the second time. Then after a couple minutes he tried to mount her. Now they play and wrestle till ceasar gets excited and tries to mount her again. It's really funny but sense she just got her parts removed I'm afraid he might hurt her. I guess it's good the shelter by law must spade/neuter animals before adobtion or I might have a problem. We haven't got to paint the house yet but soon enough maybe this weekend... I am so glad for my wife she is patient and kind and always cooks great meals for me. I've been trying to fix the dishwater I bought last week but it wants to leak I'm not sure why but it really enjoy's it. Why don't I hire a plummer you ask. Well I'm stubborn but plus it is so expensive. It's funny how much a specialized task cost people. Someday I want to know how to do it all. My loong term plan is to flip houses while doing mission work. You know 10 monthes on 2 monthes off. Well we will see. Oh here is my dogs they are great...

Thanks for browsing

2006-02-15T20:05:00.000-08:00

To all you browser's of my life I want to thank you. Though if you have stopped by please say hi. I know I haven't updated in a while but I will in the next couple weeks. I have bought my new house check my wives site. I have ripped out vines, bushes,and cut many tree limbs. I have raked and blown and trashed a huge amount of leaves. I have to ressed and fertilize a terrible lawn. I have set up a runner rope for our new dog pixie and an older dog ceasar. This weekend we have a garage sale/ buy paint/ and a ton of fabric to decorate and paint our many new walls. So I have been lax on the net lately but I'll post some before after shots soon and some pics of our new family member pixie. Also answer this question for me, what is the most important quality for a politician to have. I think it is brutal honesty....? what do you think

Conformity

2005-12-13T15:12:00.000-08:00

In my last post I wrote on a type of programming we receive by culture/soceity. I think that we undersestimate the power this programming has on us. I wish i was a better writer because I desperately would like to start writing books on non-conformity. As a child I thought a non-coformist was cool because they were against the man. But as an adult reading walton and thereou I realised it is more about de-programming the mind. It is as we have been programmed about how to think... Though the truth is that independent thought (not sure if there ever can be trully independent thought) is needed to make this world work. In essence though formula's tend to work in the classroom in real life mystery and the unknown mess that up. I just want to ask is there where in life that you think trafitions have held us back as a world? i 'll start the list and add if you want...

Art of God

2005-12-09T09:43:00.000-08:00

I ran across a friends blog that brought up the perception of beauty. Anyone is has discussed this with me knows I think a little different about this than most people. In my youth I bought into the idea that the outside defines beauty. Though quickly I realised that some pretty people acted ugly. I couldn't see them in the same light anymore. They looked ugly to me. Thinking about this I realised it was meant to be this way. That beauty really wasn't defined by the outside but by the whole. That even the people that I had learned as a child were unattractive in relationship could be more beautiful than the the most famous supermodel. I thought about this as Jesus eyes. He never seemed to waste time on appearance, he looked at people's hearts.

Since this time I also realised that our differences are like a painting's. We are this interesting and beautiful mixture of of God's art. There are even those special enough to be very different. You know We can see the beauty in the abstract when it comes to art and even impressionism. I think one of our greatest losses in world culture is our inability to see God's handiwork in the faces, bodies, and skin of the people around us.

Big is beautiful
Skinny is beautiful
Short and Tall is beautiful
Different is beautiful

Most importantly the most important thing that determines beauty is the spirit. Have you looked beautiful today.

Good Morning Beautiful

2005-12-05T05:51:00.000-08:00

On our first anniversary I woke up all flubbustered. I couldn't find anything and you helped as usual. I was in a hurry and sadly demanding. I didn't know it at the time but I forgot the garbage and you had to take it to the curb again. I didn't mean for this year to be one where I lived life and you picked up the pieces. But it has been. I thank God for you everyday. I fell in Love with your heart and compassion. I didn't realise that I would need it so much.

After a year together the lesson I've learned most is how little I do to make our family work. The one thing I wish I could do for you better is to take away the pressure you feel to make things right. I think its okay we are a little broken. I even embrace it. I think that is what helps us stay in perspective. But most of all I just want to thank you. You complain about your lack of patience, though after a year where I was in iraq, medivaced back to the states, gained 30 lbs and now getting out of the army all I can think of is how upside down our world is but how right side up you are. I love you and admire you. Happy anniversary and to many more...

The next step

2005-11-29T13:11:00.000-08:00

Hey all check out this creepy mindreader online I stole this from trinisonic. Also besides being really creepy it is fun.

The next step. Well I meet with a doctor this fri to talk about me getting out of the army. So I called cascade to talk about starting college. I have ezactly 34 credits left. I'm looking forward to completing my degree and raising funds for my orphanage. Actually i'm trying to go on a mission trip this summer. Anyone want to come. I'm going to try and go to ensenada or the like by bus and help children. Let me know if you are interested

It's been a while

2005-11-21T07:31:00.000-08:00

Well its has been almost a whole month since last post so sorry friends. Since last post I've been shopping and paying bills alot. I have almost got all my bills paid off and now can finally afford to get some budget help from Dave Ramsey http://www.daveramsey.com/ and we also have decided to buy a bed. Now as a married couple few purchases are more important than your first bed purchase. We have found one for 1,000$ I know its so expensive but hopefully it will last the next 20+ years I know thats high expectations but I'm hoping. Also Most of my blog friends decided to write a book so its been lonely as far as thats concerned. I have had a couplse good desicussions about a flat tax and the removal of the IRS from government.

More importantly it is looking like the 23rd of this month i should be getting a better Idea baout if I can get out or not. I'm hoping to partially retire form the army by early next year and move back to Portland pray for me and let me know if you know of any Job oppurtunities with at least 20,000 a year possibilities. Let me know peeps I'll update soon and sorry this is such a conglomerate of random facts but thats all I got today.

The America Dream

2005-10-25T06:02:00.000-07:00

At one point America was the land of opportunity. Anyone willing to pick up and move to America could find a new life here. Through working hard and longer than we can even imagine now, our cities and towns and our manifest destiny was brought to reality. Though we look back and see the tragedy we brought to the American Indians we have somehow forgot what we learned from this time period. First and foremost hard workers striving to make something for their lives and their families is what made America better and different that the class system economics in imperial Britain (other monarchies of the period.) Now that American Culture has spread abroad to our neighbors we have decided to close our borders and keep out the same type of people that made this land great.

I'm not against border patrol or regulating the in flux of new Americans, but I do regonize a broke system. America relies on the blood sweat and tears of migrant laborers but a lot of times will not grant anything but a work visa to them. This is nothing more than the class system our ancestors so freely gave up.

I think America needs to remember where we came from. Or in other words KEEP IT REAL. By far the majority of our ancestors came to America with nothing. Now the popular culture blames those people seeking the same success our families found in America for down falls in our society.

This attitude of being better than immigrants was the same bigotry that our ancestors faced. Now we are the ones in power and with money we pull the same crap. In conclusion workers are what made America strong not the management that we all think we are now. It's the people that use their hand and tools of trade that build and harvest that make this nation strong. I afraid of what will happen if we continue to forget that. Maybe terrorism is just the beginning of the woes we will see as a nation if we continue to hold back the people who are so close in spirit to our ancestors.

I didn't steal this idea really

2005-10-20T19:22:00.000-07:00

2005-10-18T13:43:00.000-07:00

The weather was great the acts were terrible all female kiss tribute band and Van heiniken a van halen tribute band. My favorite ride of all time Superman was brilliant. No bouncing or jolting just fluid loops and turns, all while there is a real feeling of flying. I've never felt anything like it. We sat in the front and you you can't even really see the tracks you just feel like your controlling this amazing flight. I was one of the kids that put on a cape everyday and rode the garage door up and down, and this is a small fantasy of mine. Well needless to say it was wonderful. Anyone else ever come close to there childhood fantasy? Sadly it broke down later that night so we only go one ride but we did go on the bumber cars like 8 times. Sweet

Lazy

2005-10-09T21:56:00.000-07:00

Well I've been lazy lately, paying alot of Madden 06 and poker online. Though I cleaned and re-aranged stuff today, which is good. I am hoping to get my car sent from California to georgia this week so me and the misses have two working cars instead of one and a half (half + barely working) Though the cost for shipping will be near 900$ and it depresses me. So much money, wow. But it will be nice to have my car again.

I may be able to see the Division surgeon soon and see if I can get more news about getting out of the army or not. i'm really ok either way unless they try to stick me with an office job. No offense to office workers but office jobs in the army are about the most boring work known to man. So my prayer is God will allow me to be see his will in what ever happens. Hopefully what ever happens happens soon.

On a different note I am getting ready to send my official first prayer petition out for The Refuge my future/ present orphanage ministry. My Goal is to have it send by the 30th of Oct so people can be praying for the ministry on halloween not for any special reason just because it's an easy day to remember. But maybe I'll add some spooky touches to the prayer petition. If you for sure would like to get an e-mail about it write me at irishnd98@yahoo.com so i can make sure you get on the list of e-mails. +And if you don't want one too bad if I know it I'm sending you one.

Credit Report

2005-10-05T13:02:00.000-07:00

So far everthing is ok i have a 607 score, and found out I owe chevron form 4 years ago. and I also found out sears is trying to say i owe them money which is crap. Chevron yeah I'll pay them this month but sears I never did owe money too. Besides that there is a negative report fROM SOME COMPANY I DON'T EVEN KNOW? sO ANY SUGGESTIONS THERE IS NO ADDRESS OR CONTACT INFO ON THE REPORT?

Dia Por Ninos

2005-09-27T20:43:00.000-07:00

Please check out my new ministry blog under my links. I'm excited and am asking for your prayers in support of the helpless. Please give your heart to this prayer today. I'm just asking for one prayer not a life long commitment. Thanks hhaha

We are home

2005-09-16T13:56:00.000-07:00

Well I loved California and Portland and a great two week vacation. I felt like I saw most of my friends and family I have had in the last 10 years in a very small amount of time. Thank you Tabs for calling me. I had hoped I would get a bigger blog response from my call to friendship but alas you were the one ready and willing to be a friend as usual. My respect for you and your husband grows with every encounter. Now a sad story. My mom's house was the storage facilaty I had during high school and college. Though I never paid in money dues were collected. I found out one of my most priced possesion was thrown out when i was in Iraq while my brother and brother in law was moving my stuff to my mom's new house. You see I had this great painting I collected from the free pile a church garage sell. I then brought it to Portland from Stockton with the rest of my belongings. Then I gave it to Tab's to paint for me a picture on her birthday. She painted over a tired lanscape and turned it into enchanted wonderland. I loved it. Though one of my brother's neither much of an art critic thought it belonged with the lost and forgoten goods in the garbage. A deeply moving and wonderful peice forever lost. I only hope I can force Tabitha to Paint for me again. I also can't find Two Guitars one in a case really how do you lose 2 guitars. To all who lost out on the opporunity to see me well only blame yourselves. I was even brave enough to post my phone number to millions and I only got one call. So phewy on you.... Also another story me Jon, Tabs, Nelly-poo, Jen Dupeee, and my wife played scrabble. I was out of letters and went to cheat and help Jon he had managed to spell sex but I found another creative spelling in his tiles what do you think. I think there should be a game of dirty scrabble that you make up silly things that are dirty even if all the letters aren't there. Now I said silly not vulgar, you garbage minded peeps.

TO California

2005-08-30T15:34:00.000-07:00

I'm in Cali now sorry no post lately. I'm headed to Portland Sometime Fri. and hope to see you all soon. call me 912-271-0932 if you wanna hang out and chill. I think youall will be really mad if this is the last chance for us to see each other and you miss out because you were busy. I'm mean I might die soon (God willing) and you will be jelous I got to go home first. Plus if any one would like to go with me to Faith Quest for a visit i have to drive up there to see andy. Also nelly stakel and my wife will come. So call me or else. First one calls get to make the plans for the family fun day. Ryan

The Doctor

2005-08-08T14:06:00.000-07:00

I was told today I needed to get a special elctronic mapping of my heart. After this is done the army will decide if I can continue in the miltary if I get a surgery to correct my heart arithmia. If they cannot I still may be able to stay in the army if I change my job to something with little or no physical requirements. This is going to be a 6-8 month evaluation and will test my wife and my patience. I do not know how to deal with this effectively and have been stressing alot lately. I all of a sudden have to consider having a new profession and haviung it very quickly. I'm thinking real estate until I can garner enough support for an orphanage, in a spanish speaking country. But its all up in the air. So we will see.

To love

2005-08-04T19:31:00.000-07:00

I think love and sacrifice should be synonyms. I noticed lately every real act of love involves sacrifice... My wife loves me. She sacrifices her time her energy and her compassion for me all day. And all she really wants in return is me to hold her and tell her how much she means to me. I'm trying to not make my wife in to the typical subservant 18th century type women much men fantasize about. She loves so much that she would let that happen and if I didn't love her I could let it happen too. Though I love she wants to cook well and clean up and stuff i also want to help out with that stuff. To me this is where loving someone gets hard. To love my wife I have to put my clothes in the hamper. Now that doesn't sound hard to you but its almost painful for me I promise. That and i have to clean my car more. To me its okay to have things everywhere and just throw them to the side when I need to make room for someone but she hates it. So now that it is our car I have to clean it like everyday. This for me is so much harder than giving massages and complimenting the new outfit. But I think slowly but surely I'm realising it all is love. Each concession of my will for hers is love. I'm not used to loosing an argument for anything or anyone. It happens but hardly ever. But now I have to be a loser every day. I think trully loving someone is the most humbling experience one can have.
I hope to wash my wifes feet today (metaphorically) and I pray I remember to take out the trash.

HOME

2005-07-24T19:46:00.000-07:00

I'm home now and yes its amazing. I have no idea what is happening in my immediate future. My command has made me move overnight (no 30 day notice for my other rent to be done so paying two different houses in one month crap) withing 15 miles of my base. I found a 300 dollar a month one bedroom apartment next to a funeral home. Actually its almost part of the funeral home. But well besides that its furnished and month to month so I can afford its nastiness for now. My wife is pregnant. Just kidding but maybe... I tell her she is everyday sense we are doing the natural form of birth control (none.) They say if you aren't trying to not have babies then you are trying to. So I guess we are trying. Um well I should be asleep Love you all tell you more when I know more. Oh I plan to go to Portland for at least 2 days if I get leave so if you want to meet me lets have a party. Ryan

I'm Headed Home

2005-07-05T09:13:00.000-07:00

After 7 months in Iraq I'm headed Home. I'm lucky and am sad, I have alot of friends who will be there for another 4-5 months. I would be broke up if we lost another soldier from my unit. Especially with me hanging out at home. Well it looks like my heart problem will make me either change my job or get out of the army. So I'm thinking of trying to be a Chaplan's assistant. They guard the chaplain and set up worship services. I'm pretty sure I can do that with little or no extra training so hopefully they'll let me do that.

Next subject, I want babies. I think of babies and I think they are not only born of love but every day of their life they live as reflection of the love of their parents. Everything from there perception of self(self esteem included) to the way they perceive others and the world is shaped largely by their parents. I grew up in a divorced household and no offense tho those divorced or others who grew up without parent involvement or worse, but I think I was cheated. I think parents who don't work at love enough to be examples to their children of a healthy love are cheating their children out of love and patience and peace of mind. I can't wait to work my freaking butt off to love my children by loving their mother. To show them what a real man does so they know what to look for when they look for a mate.

This all comes back to the miracle of birth and the amazing message God shows when two people combine themselves, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Out of this bond comes a byproduct. Babies of course. But not only the one time in conception but throughout there lives they continue to be the combination of there parents. Until in young adulthood when they choose the best of their parents lives to keep and the things they want to do without.

I hope my children have my wives nose, and her compassion and her commitment to love, I hope they have my passion for perfection, my arms (i'm kinda buff) and my willingness to be stupid for fun. Most of all I pray that they see the Love of God in our relationship and in our lives. I pray they have my deepseeded faith and my wives passion to spread the word. I pray (please God) they sing like my side of the family haha. But in truth the Lord will work his will and I mostly pray that I may be his tool in their birth, and development.

I may say this again I want babies. Oh and I also want Babies. I'm going home who know maybe in nine month's.

Update

2005-06-30T08:31:00.000-07:00

Well It's been a while and I've been told to update so here I am. The thing is I really have some strange stuff happening right now. You see I'm in Kuwait, they send me here when I had some trouble with my heart. I'm now on profile (army paperwork that makes what a doctor tells you an order) that says basically I can only do what a rock does and walk really slow. This profile is for 3 months. I hate inactivity but if I get caught even joggin I'll get in trouble. So to counteract this I'm overeating. Haha I know this sounds stupid and it is but when I'm bored I eat. So I had lost about 10 pounds here (in Iraq really) and was looking smoking but I'm sure I will gain it all back now and maybe more. I'm depressed. I wish I could just go help out my guys and finish up my tour. Right now they are trying to figure out what to do with me. They sad I am going to go home but there is so much paper work and people who have to sign off on it that it might not happen. So we will see.

Time for the bloggerviews

2005-06-24T00:55:00.000-07:00

Tabitha Jane
(intelligent artsy pants)
1. When and why did you start including your wonderful middle name in your profile?(easy ones first)
2. What did you learn most from your old BF (was his name Jason?)that has helped you with handsome hunk Jon.
3. Okay help enlighten the world on the amazing sociological expirement you grew up in. There must be some profound truth's that a women in your position can lend towards the rest of us in understanding females. Can I have at least 3? More is better!
4. Now this one is a little complicated so bear with me. I would like you to explain your position on the war. I rarely hear intellegent views on this from either side. (For example we are there for the oil... We just spent billions to give up their debt to us and we always get oil from Kuwait and have not touched one drop of their oil. We lately have had to buy diesel for their troops and escort it from Kuwait)(weapons of mass destruction? hahah what a crock) Also consider that we are fighting 150+ new foreign fighters that come to iraq everyday. Add that up and you can see this isn't anything to do with a civil war similar to vietnam in this aspect.) Anyway I'm going to appreciate your answer either way because I know it will be intelligent, and I love to wrap my mind around intellegent views.
5. If Jon gave you complete artistic control on the names of your children what would they be 2 boys 8 girls hahah J/K two girls will do? (see that wasn't so hard)

Tanya Christine
(Hilarious honest poopy pants)

1. If you could do anything in the world as a profession what would it be?
2. If you could flip off anyone in the world with no repercussions who would it be and why?
3. Did you make a new blog and how can I get to it? you can mail this one to me. And if you didn't are you lying? hahah
4. Who is the most inspirational person in your life and why?
5. What would you do if you didn't blog?

Peng
(Hiaku mastermine pants)

1. Can you give me your all time favorite haiku?
2. Whats so great about Haiku anyway?
3. Okay trying to be creative, can I have a biography haiku with general descriptions of you.
4. You have a choice between joining the army and going to war, or imposing the draft for someone else to take your place which is it?
5. can you put live and let die the greatest rock anthem to haiku?

BLOGGERVIEW WITH Rebecca Marie

2005-06-21T11:51:00.000-07:00

Here is insight into my soul... a profound look at an interview conducted by Rebecca Marie
1) What would make you go AWOL?

Wow well I would go AWOL if the army attempted to force me to do something unethical. I have been asked to lie actually over and over and I just don't then I get in trouble. I think people think its okay to do shotty work and lie about it to cover their buts but you know I don't care what they think I won't be a stool pigeon to the army, except I'll let tell me to live in Iraq a year hahah.

2) You can only watch on thing on television for the rest of your life. Doogie Hauser, M.D. or Full House. Choose one.

Wow um strange I wached both of those shows growing up. They both have huge upsides with very few downsides actually. Doogey was actually a well written drama with an interesting setting- the diary point of view. Though it was kinda a short run series for the rest of my life. Full house while poorly written and more of a melacomidy, I did end up smiling at the end of the repetive kids mess up and bumbling idiots try to help them figure it out plot that strangely reminds me of Life. hmmm Gotta go Full House there are so many shows I could get lost in it for maybe a year before I would pluck out my eyelashes.

3) You have to lose a limb in order to save a family member, which limb and why?

I've actually (I know its morbid but what do you expect) talk about this alot with the guys here since people loose limbs frequently. hopefully it would be my left arm. Because you can deal with that the best. you will always need both legs to walk and of course I want my good arm.

4) You’ve got Colin Powell’s undivided attention for one hour, how do you spend that hour?

Yes, i want to know why he will not fullfill his manifest destinany to be the first Black president. He is very smart, respected, has real military intelligence (I hated the debate between Bush and Kerry) and I like most of his politics. If that went no where I guess I'd just ask how his family was- relationships should be the focus of our lives.

5) You can be on any game show, past or present. What game show, and why?
Hmmm this ones tough, I'd have to say The great race. This is the greatest roadtrip ever plus you can win lots of money. On top of that no one can vote you out and instead of smarts (jeopardy, I want to be a Millionaire) or luck (the price is right) you have to use street smarts and economics, two of my favorite things in life. Plus they have to mooch i love to mooch and I'm pretty good at it ahhah. Though honestly I want to be a milloionaire is a close second, I know I could easily secure 64,000 taking no risk's then I'd feel free to walk away.

End of interview.

Now, per Rebecca Marie's instructions, I am offering to interview the first five people responding to this post. The rules are as follows:

Finally easy fantasy Football

2005-06-19T15:36:00.000-07:00

okay friends if you want to join a low mantainance money free game of fantasy football, I have setup a league. I set it up really early so we can get a full house. I also set it up so there is only 5 new players you can get the whole year, and you can only make 2 trades. This gives the everyone time on or not a good chance. At most it will take is once a week update for bye week and such. You have 7 peepes on Offense and 7 on defense (including kicker) and 10 on bench. Draft is done automatically just put your preference in order of most important to have to least important, I'm guessing big tacklers and quarterbacks will be the big points guys but maybe not. anyway if u know me and you want to sign up its
yahoo league id#: 90626
league name: cascade
league password: password

Stop the Press

2005-06-18T01:12:00.000-07:00

I have way to much time on hands lately. I will never blog this much again, and hopefully never read so much gross stuff in the media. I hate reading the news sometime, I just have to remember where the real fight is (power and principalities.)

On this note I'm going to try and read less depressing stuff on the internet and write one positive post. So here goes, I bought a COMMON cd here in kuwait. I have too give it a four stars it is really good. He is definately an uncommon rapper, he is more of a modern poet. Common doesn't revisit the same rapper delights like the hood or the bling bling or the b's and hoes accept to comment on the overuse of these underrated items in rap. I'm definately not on the same page with one of his songs where he ask's (paraphrase) what if God was a girl would I steal cheat on her with all the tricks. I think I get the point and I like just trying to bend my mind around a concept , which rarely happens in other rappers lyrics in mainstream media. Recommended download and buy. Warning to consumers with children still has some cussing and general language that is not appropriate, but not a rediculess amount.

I also bought gorilaz new very nice funky music

Wow this is so frightening

2005-06-17T04:41:00.000-07:00

I hope this is not true

Animal and Human suffering the link is there

2005-06-16T06:08:00.000-07:00

I was chilling today going through stuff on myspace www.myspace.com/ryanleepeters and read a bulletin from my teeny boppy friend from STOCKTOWN CALI>>>> and she posted this site and said it was gross and help PETA and blah blah blah spray paint some coats on the public we hate wetseal blah blah blah, anyway in my boredom I went to the site and watched the movie and well its way gross, so don't go here unless you really are not a believer cuzz its nasty
:
http://www.peta2.com/takecharge/t-wetseal.asp

anyway this site shows some Chinese peeps beating raccoons and then skinning them half alive, Wow that just pisses me off, you know no one really likes raccoons but I really believe that it is terrible to kill things in a cruel way when there are plenty of other options. I know lots of people don't like bleedings but I think they are relatively cruel free. Another form is the old cut the head off the rooster that works well or man even a freaking sledgehammer I don't care but at least make sure the things freaking dead.

Now people who do this maybe see little value in the feelings of lower forms of life (I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings its my belief bring on the hate) but there can be seen a direct correlation in psychology between the value of lower level life forms and the value of life in total. This is shown in one way that animal torture is commonly the first victims of serial killers. It is not surprising this video comes from a place that people still leave there babies(girls or retardation) out in the environment to let nature take its course so they can save there one child for a freaking boy
http://acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~phalsall/texts/c-wnhol.html.
This is crazy people. Not only is this a huge problem but there is also an insane amount of human slavery in china and the surrounding countries.
http://gvnet.com/humantrafficking/China.htm
When will America start influencing these things in countries such as china and the eastern block countires, shoot look at Latin America where child prostitution runs rampant. http://www.libertadlatina.org/LatAm_Sex_Slavery_Index.htm
I'm all for PETA just because they are showing that suffering is useless, I just wish there was more people connecting the dots to the amazing amount of human suffering this attitude is connected to.
Please also check out these sites Slavery in the modern world is more cruel and more frequent than it has ever been. We need to help inform others of these human cruelties in minmium and hopefully find a place where as americans we can help

2005-06-15T01:19:00.000-07:00

Currently I'm in Kuwait to get my heart examined. So I have more time than usuual on the net, so i am updating my blog, and will e-mail some cats too. Just wanted to let everyone know I'm doing good, a little sick. I'm also tired alot and annoyed because they keep giving me shots in my stomach fat. Which sucks plus it bruises when they do it wrong and by chance they do it wrong alot, plus they want me to start giving my self the shot shaahh as if. Progress back home my wonderful wife is looking for a fixerupper house for us to buy when i get home hopefully it will work out. Maybe we will buy it before I even get home, around Chritmas time. Also we are making plans for the wedding or our renewing of vows. I know I live real far away but everyone is invited, so hopefully I'll get to see some peeps, maybe I can get a live stream setup on the web (IE amercan pie), that would be cool then my peeps from around the globe could check it out. Well much love and appreciate the prayers will keep you updated when I get more words on the orphanage.
