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
