This is a service that should be illegal. I understand what he was saying about allowing people to focus on what they are really going to school for but that doesn't change the fact that these assignments are for the student not anyone else. It's not okay to pay a fellow class mate to do your essay so in what reality would it be okay to do it this way? All in all whether or not you are majoring in the subject it still teaches you things to be applied in real life. I'm not saying that in every job field you will be required to write essays but these papers are designed to teach specific writing techniques which are excellent skills to have. I personally believe that this is wrong as much as id like to have someone right my papers for me its still cheating and it is unfair to everyone whom has to do the assignment without the help of writing experts to do all the foot work for them. Its like paying someone to do the parts of your job that are difficult or something you don't like to do.

She has been searching the entire house for 15 minutes looking...but for what. The frustration in the air is palpable. With a daunting feeling in my bones I ask "what are you looking for?". With the intensity of a thousand suns she looks at me and says "I can't find my sunglasses!" As I notice her fake prada glasses perched an her head a small smerk comes across my face I say "Hmmm haven't seen them...".

This old polish recipe for Polish Sausage and Sour Kraught is a life time favorite of mine. It has been passed down for generations It is one that I havent quite leaned but rome wasn't conqured in a day and i'm not much of a cook myself. Its a fairly simple meal though and its quite special to me. Basically you get the sausage and the sour kraught and you put it into a pan and heat it up adding salt and sugar equally to taste and make some mashed potatoes to go with and enjoy.
Never will I ever watch the movie Straw Dogs again. It is the most drawn out movie of all time. Its slow and boring and its supposed to be suspenseful but its actually kind of funny. The acting is cheesy and its quite unrealistic. Incase you have not seen it, the movie is about a husband and wife that inherit the wifes family house in her home town. The husband is a big time city boy and the wife is from the country. When they go to live in her home town they meet her ex boyfriend from highschool and their friends. Basically the country boys are jealous of this city slicker.

The sound was like nails on a chalk board coming from the child's lunges when his mother wouldn't allow him to have any more soda.  His thunderous stomps were like earthquakes through out the restaurant.

This story is legit. It may embody the feeling commonly described as abulia but it is legit non the less. you may not find some of the words acceptable but its going to be ok. Im not very savvy with spanish but tacos are delicious. Especially free tacos but thats a rare occasion. You should feel quite honored to have free tacos. When I see someone eatting a taco I attempt to live vicariously through their experience and i can feel my mouth moisten sevenfold. The velocity at which I eat these tacos could probably be a world record esoecially if they are soft shell tacos. I dont know if loving tacos makes me cultured but if so I am cultured as f***. Im not even being facetious here I love tacos to the point that people look at me and say "duphuq"? Ive actually had a hispanic man tell me that I honor my family with the spontaneous love for tacos that I feel. They pretty much embody my entire existence. After all the tacos have been eaten I rig myself up some whisky fudge and have some fun. Enough to make me go into cardiac arrest and and be in a food comma for days! Then I take an epic poop and play on my fantastic gadget known as a taco counter and start the cycle all over again. FIN

Tall is a word that would be used to describe ole Mr. Barnabus. He is a man of many faces and he is quite the interesting fellow. He likes his cigars as well as good times with great friends. With his long well trimmed beard and glasses that sit perched on his nose like a finch. He seemed to carry the traits of many people. He is young but very mature and strong willed. He always wears faded jeans and old hoodies that give him a bit of a vintage look. He is a programmer and people associate his tech skills as a bit of an addiction but he is just talented and driven. He is a bit nerdy but it fits him and his personality. He is a bit of a procrastinator but he still manages to keep everything together.

Ole Mr. Barnabus can be described as skyscraperish. He enjoys his cigars as well as good times with great friends. With his well trimmed beard and glasses that sit perched on his nose like finch. He seemed to carry the traits of many people. Youth beset him but he hath the maturity of yoda and he harbors will in epic proportions. With his well worn pants and hooded sweatshirts people would describe him as looking slightly vintage.

Play-doh aka simple fun. I loved this sticky messy goop as a child. Heck I could still entertain myself for hours on end with this stuff. You can make almost anything with it. I used to know a recipe for it. One thing I do remember about it is that its smell was attatched to you for quite a while once you played with it for a while. Of course I constantly need new play-doh because I would either leave it out for too long and it'd dry and harden or I would put all of the colors together which was fun while you did it till you ended up with a nasty almost blackish colored ball. I always liked to try and make new creatures out of it. I wish I could remember some of the alien-esk things that I created. Where does all the play-doh go though, I had to have had tons of the stuff when i was a child and im sure i wasnt the only one. Im sure its bio-degradeable but im pretty sure that little plastic cup filled with it is not. I'm sure there is a giant heap of play-doh in a land fill somewhere and I need to find this eutopia. The hours upon hours that I could occupy myself with this substance could probably break records. Although I was never that artsy so i'd probably go down in history for creating the biggest ball of play-doh in the world.

I have been gifted a baby shoe. I guess its fitting given the situation unfolding in my life. I am the second oldest of seven cousins that are very close. We have spent every big holiday or event of our lives together. We are almost siblings. I was the first of us to get married but as I found out this weekend not the first to become a parent. My cousin Levi will be a father in approximately 8 months. Now the funny part about this was that he hadnt really told anyone when he first found out about it aside from our grandma. Well ole grandma pam decided that she would let the world know via facebook that she was going to be a great grandmother but failed to mention which of her grand-children it was that was having a baby. Therefor everyone who saw the post and didnt know that it was Levi automatically assumed that it was me and my wife...hence the flood of texts I recieved following this incident. Now some of the other cousins were under suspect, the oldest boston who is only older than me by a few months was also suspect and his sister madison whom is a junior in college. Me and boston were together when we first recieved the news and we figured it out pretty quickly. I got to see Levi and Nikki yesterday and I have to say im pretty excited about this I just hope my wife dosen't take this as a que that we need a baby now.

I bought this baseball hat while I was serving in the military from my shop. Its stitched with the words MCAS Beaufort Crash Crew. This is because I was Crash Fire Rescue aka an aircraft fire fighter. I spent four years of my life doing it and I loved it. We only had a very few emergencies because believe it or not aircraft dont really crash that often but we got to do alot of training exercises with the base fire department on the structural side and we got to play some very cool extrication equipment. We also got to see some very cool aircraft upclose. I got to sit in the cockpit of an F-22 Joint Strike Fighter which is a brand new plane that was just recently integrated into our forces.

My Personal Credo

     When it comes to my own individual credo I would start by stating that I believe that we as a people need each other to be successful in this life. I believe for this world to become a better place we must be willing to extend a helping hand to our fellow man and not have "I" mindset. Most everyone at sometime or another needs help and that, in my personal opinion, we need to be willing to reach out and give our support and aid. If we cant extend these small favors to people in their time of need then how is this world ever going to make progress. I am not saying that people deserve handouts, as the saying goes "you need to be willing to help yourself before someone will be willing to help you". People must be willing to make an effort and not just take hand-outs. Progress is impossible when half of the people would rather watch everyone else make things better. If you really want to see a better world unfold then get out there and make it happen. Next I believe in unity and coexistence, if you would refuse someone aid because of the color of their skin or the beliefs they believe your just hurting the world and its chances of becoming a better place. Together we stand, Divided we fall.

Exercise Two: I am free writing in response to the essay "Be cool to the pizza delivery dude". This piece of work is something I can truly agree with. It shows some of the things i was trying to describe in my personal credo above. The way the author spoke of the pizza guy resembles the way people should act towards each other. Before you get angry because someone almost ran you off the road remember, you may not know for what reason they are in a hurry. What if they got a call that their child hurt themselves and is in the hospital. People have their own problems and getting angry only creates more problems for everyone. Instead try to find a way to help the situation anyway you can. One small act of kindness can change the flow and direction of someones day. Everyone has a life to live and most people have someone that relies on them. So the next time your stressed over your wi-fi not working just remember that there is someone out there who is stressed because they may not be able feed the ones they love and that your pretty lucky to have what you do.

I havent wrote about my passion for gaming and the way it fits me as a person. Some may say that gaming is a waste of life (my wife included) but in my eyes it is something of a sport that requires reflexes and skill. Its obviously widely known that gaming is one of the biggest things right now and what some may not know is that there is a wide spread network of professional gamers whom are actually contracted to play much like that of sports (minus the millions that athletes make). My favorite of these games is StarCraft 2 and it is very difficult to explain to someone hwo is not familiar with gaming or RTS (Real Time Strategys). The main design to this game is three things that must be balanced very well and they are economy, army, and technology. The first, Economy, basically each player is given a starting location which has Minerals and Vespean Gas. To gather these things you are given 6 workers to start with and a Command Center. From there you must use your workers to gather these resources. As you gather them you must continue creating workers so you can gather more and more resources. Then eventually later on in the game you will create another command center and seek out more resource nodes. This is known as expanding and will generate more revenue and later this will help you tremendously. You must continue expanding like this through out the game because these resources eventually start to deplete. Next we have the Army, this is almost self expanitory

What If.......
 
sleeping was bad for you?
all food tasted the same?
there was a fountain of youth?
the average hieghth of people was 10'?
humans lived to be 300 years old?
humans lived under da sea?
cars ran on water ?
Christopher Columbus never found america?
americans would have lost the revolutionary war?
teleportation was achieved? 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
      What if all food tasted the same ? I think the world around us would be much different than it is. I think it would take a little excitement out of life overall. At the same time though, would there still be world hunger problems? Yes, probably but WHAT IF people didnt see food as delicasys and was more willing to help people out. I mean if the food at Red Lobster tasted exactly the same as the food at McDonalds than food wouldnt be as expensive I wouldnt think. But maybe if the food was inexpensive wouldnt it be plentiful and then Id like to believe that people would find the kindness in their heart to help out their fellow man. Maybe we would see less people in this world have to starve or children not even get a chance to make a difference. Although I do like some Red Lobster I would sacrifice it if it would make a difference like that. Or maybe just if the food of this world were more plentiful but there wasnt food chains to create such a high food cost. Just hear me out, if the 10,000(guestament)Red Lobsters in this country werent buying lobsters for there stores wouldnt the price of lobsters drop?
 
       What if there really was a fountain of youth? I think in this day and age it would be hidden from the world not because of evil politicians as you might think. I think it would be similar to the movie "In Time", the world would become so incredibly over populated that they would have to slow the flow if you know what I mean. Maybe they would only allow people to drink it until they were a certain age like,start drinking it when your 25 and stay that age till you 50 and then you would stop drinking it and live to be around 120. But remember when you were 50 physically you were only 25 so would that mean that you would start aging rapidly or would you just start at 25 and slowly start aging again. Thats when you would see those evil corrupt politicians being the only ones allowed to use it forever. Strange really, after careful thought I think a fountain of youth would be worse for this civilization than money is. We cant even get fresh water to those whom need it most god knows they would never get any of that fresh glacial fountain of youth water....Thanks Fiji!
 
What if women carried AK47's? I also think the world would be very different in this circumstance. Women would be less approachable than they already are. Who wants to drop a cheesy pick up line on G.I. Jane... not this guy hahah. And why in this alternate universe do men not have any firearms of their own. Im starting to think that this is a world ran by women. Im guessing the men would all be forced into slave labor while the women sat around eating bonbons and watching oprah. This world gets grimmer and grimmer the more i think about it. Im really not likeing the idea of men being womens live stock force to work in the worst conditions because if women ran the world thats how it would be. An AK47 has a 7.62mm round....ouch that would do some damage but maybe the recoil would be too much and there would be a revolt and they would all live happily ever after.

My life as a Married Man

 
On June 28, 2013 I married the most beautiful girl in the world. Her name is Kelsey Marie Cave. She is native to Republic, MO. She is 20 years old and she compliments my personallity so well. She likes to think that she is smarter than me but we all know thats not the case. She works at Hinode the Japanese steak house over on national and republic road. Its her first job as a waitress and she absolutely loves it.
 
 
We havent always lived here in Springfield together. I didnt get out of the Marine Corps until November 1st of last year. We actually spent the first 4 months of our marriage living in different states and yes it was difficult. You may be saying "wait there is 5 months between the end of June and the First day of November". Well you would be right! A friend of mine that lives in South Carolina, where I was stationed, allowed us to live with him in his house for almost a whole entire month till I got out. His name is Justin Hefner, no relation to Hugh, and he lives in Little Rock, AR.  
I am nervous for my public speacking speech 1 i have to give today. i feel as if i should have studied much more than i did but over all i feel like i will do well. Its just getting up infront of a bunch of people is pretty nerve racking. This is our introductory speec and i have done mine mine over my time in the United States Marine Cops and how that has shaped me to become the person a i am today. I speak about mty time in japan and the interesting things i went through over there. I also touch on my time in boot camp and how that is truely one of the most difficult but rewarding things i have done in my life.

Im lost in thought now im not sure what to write about. My wife is workuing a double tonight so im gonna have the house all to myself yippee. Yesterday was my birthday marking my big 23. I just hung out with some friends and laid back no since in wearing myself out in the middle of the week ha. Maybe this weekend ill be able to go down town and cut loose. I know id really like that but im not sure if my wife wants to chase me around all night. I can get down let me tell you coming from japan where in some citys the bars and clubs close down for only an hour a day. Getting wild in springfield is a cake walk. Wow i just sucessfully made myself out to be an alcoholic. Im not as much of a drinker as i was. to me it just takes too much effort for such a little gain.

Uncle ben once told me that with great comes great responsibility. I think i may have fallen asleep watching spiderman  because i dont have an uncle ben but those choice words still hold great meaning. Although i dont have great power YET it can still be applied to much simpler things. Like i have a truck that has great power but that truck payment is a great responsibility and not in a good way. i dont know if this is extream figurative writing or if it even makes since but i like it ha! I wish i hadnt chose this phrase bwecause i am having trouble applying it to things now. If i was spiderman id prolly use my powers for evil because lets face it peter parker is a broke loser who cant even hold down a steady girlfriend plus i look better in black than red.

It would be pretty easy to steal things as spiderman, coupling together his ability to climb on anything with his webs and speed youd be unstopable. Plus youd have your spidey senses incase something went wrong. so there you have it my take on what spidey villan would be like. That could be the next chapter in the spiderman saga. Im pretty sure i would enjoy that alot. If you cant tell by now im a pretty hardcore nerd so theres that.

Once a marine always a marine, this was somehing i didnt understand when i first joined the Marine corps. Though it has become more clear to me now it makes me think of recruiters and how they inspire you to get you to sign that contract. Now i cant be completely against the recruiters then have a job and they are pretty efficient at it. Now that im finally out i understand it i have completed my 4 year term honorably which means that no matter what no one can take that title away from me. its mine for life regardless of what anyone says. No matter how rough it was or how much i hated it at the time i now look back and that time of my life and am 100  % proud of my self for accomplishing such a difficult task. I also met some great people along the way that will always be like brothers to me.

Also the marine corps took up the better half of my adulthood so far so it is what i know of this world and how it opperates. Now I am facing a new challenge which should take me around four years to complete whic is college and all that comes with it. the start has been a little tedious and stressful plus taking care of my new bride at home throws a curve ball into the mix but i love my life and all of it ups and downs i feel like im on the right track to becoming a really cool old person. That sounded bad but I really mean it everyone know that person whom is in their mid 60s and just has some rediculous stories from around the world.
