soldier of fortune

this is the story of a man who has forgotten his name, forgotten everything about him. he remembers fragments from his childhood, and very little before he was conscripted to a government special operatives force. throughout the story he has been lied to, cheated, shot, blown up by IED's, and bombs. his commanding officer is a traitor who killed the rest of his company, and blew up his barracks.

holocaust in the US?

in my opinion, there could be a holocaust in the US, but not until the government falls or major political instability. there are white supremest groups in the deep south and mid west ready to start race wars and control the government. If that should come to pass, every minority such as blacks, Mexicans, Jews, homosexuals, Muslims these are the major "problem" to them. they would follow the things Hitler has done, what we have done to the Native Americans, and all the atrocities that were committed during WWII. they have a sort of "bible", the book made by Hitler Mein Kumph. 

i believe if they were to take control, the start would be in the south west where most of the racist whites are.   chances are that they wouldn't start by rounding people up, i think they would just go house to house and shoot people on the spot. eventually, they might start to round people up in large houses, seal the doors and windows, and set the houses on fire. some of them might even gas them just as their Nazi "brothers" have in the past.

Joseph:  how did you come to adding all of these pictures, do you find yourself as a "gun lover"?

Kathy: your post was well formulated your post was well formulated and contained a lot of information

Andres: the pictures in this post are graphic, as are most genocide. I mean, it's not like the killers are giving them candy then shooting them in the back.

Armenian genocide

It all began with the ottoman Empire which was ruled by the Turks who acquired the empire through conquest, the main city was Constantinople. they were at war with a few nations. A man named Sultan Abdul Hamid came to power. Under his rule, there would be a series of massacres occurred to frighten the Armenian people. The empire was at war with the allies in World War I, after suffering a string of losses, they retreated to continue their campaign to kill the Armenians. they hid the people in caravans to look like the troop transports, so if the allies had seen them, they would be killed. if they made it back to their lines, they were taken to camps to be worked to death or killed. the people were told it was a "resettling" program. in which most were forced to walk the destinations. the empire created small bands of people to specifically attack the convoys and kill the people in them. they also created other groups called butchers to "off" the rest of them. these crimes were not discovered until they declared a republic in 1923.     

intro blog

hi, my name is Byron, I don't necessarily like to read book all the time. but there are a few genres that i really like. my favorite genre would be adventure and mystery. my favorite books would have to be Ranger's Apprentice, and Assassins Creed: The Secret Story of Altiar. My least favorite book would have to be either Animal farm, or Fahrenheit 451. The book i am currently reading is Assassins Creed: The Secret Story of Altiar. so far this book is about a man who is a master Assassin and it talks about all his assassinations, and the story of his life, from the point when he was a little kid, to when he was a very old man. i find it interesting that he has no feeling of sorrow or anything else when he kills a target, or even thinks much about it years after he has killed them.

a life well lived

grandpa, you have been gone before '08

you watched over me when i was a youngster

you told me ghost stories

you were 5'6 to the top of your hat

but when you talked about the war

i thought you were superman

you always made me laugh

even at the age of 89 you were hell bent on feeding the chickens

dad always told you he would but you still refuse

even in the nursing home your will kept you talking of escape

i remember you almost broke a nurse's arm

we always went to see you and bring you your favorite taffy

your life, sir, was defiantly a long and well lived life.  

Battlefield

as my lieutenant ordered us to recheck our equipment
i smell the sweet sent of gunpowder fill my nose
i see my squad mates' name on my helmets tactical HUD
i see confirming lights flash green
i hear enemies screaming something in another language
then the dreadful command to deploy is finally heard
we storm out the APC
bullets fly
my lieutenant is hit
his marker on my HUD flashes yellow
dead
i am next in command
we take cover by a wrecked vehicle
a sniper open fires
my senses sharpen
he falls, dead
enemy tanks are spotted
i call air support
the enemy, demoralized
turns and flees
the day is ours
     

failure

i have a rendezvous with death
at some disputed barricade
it may be as you take my hand
and lead me into his dark land
and close my eyes
and hold my breath
i have a rendezvous with death
and i to my privileged word am true
i shall not fail that  rendezvous

 

 

beast

Organic creatures

Of blood and flesh

You touch my mind

Fumbling in ignorance

Incapable of understanding

There is a world far beyond your own

You can’t even imagine

Beyond your comprehension

You can’t escape your doom

I am the vanguard or your destruction

I was created to give voice to chaos

I am the pillar of evolution

Before me you were nothing

You exist because I allow it

And you will end because I demand it  

Your lives are measured in years and decades

You wither and die

I am eternal

I have no end

I am infinite

I am a reaper.

the daily life of me

alarm clock goes off 6:20 sharp
curse myself for staying up so late
preform the 3 S's
get dressed
drink a cup O' Joe
find my hat
turn off my light
walk 3/4 of a mile
ride the bus
stay in school for 7 hours
ride the bus
walk another 3/4 of a mile home
do homework
play xbox
repeat.

They are basically alike. some examples would be that they are both heavily dependent on technology. their "civies" are all unified, they are also contently under  surveillance. both of the worlds are trying to get to a specific goal such as in FH-451, they were trying to get rid of books (the government) and in gattaca, they were trying to get to titan (moon of Saturn)

this picture represents how Tyler may have showed people how he feels. For one, its a danger sign. Second it appears to be in a rundown neighborhood, and his mind isn't intact if he's thinking about suicide. this picture also seems to be depressing in a way though the black and white.

Music, Good or bad?

      Alright, Alright, This has been bugging me for a while. I need to let off some steam. You know EVERY kid/teen and adult listen to music. through every generation has there type they listen to, also every person has certain tastes. I, for example, listen to country and rock, mainly country. most of my friends listen to rock or rap. these are the main tastes of my generation (1990-1999). Most parents might not enjoy our music, but do we care? Hell no! most kids my age are rebellious because of the music we listen to. I personally agree with this. As i work on a farm and do some sports, the music fits my description. Now my next statement is not to be racist, but what I notice in most minorities. most listen to rap or their native music, and their image reflects that. I can tell by the way somebody will dresses the type of music they listen to. If somebody is wearing a white hoodie with a "free weezy" or some type of graphic tee, white or black shoes and dark blue or black pants, they most likely listen to rap or heavy metal. If i see somebody wearing a flannel shirt, boots, some type of billed hat WORN THE CORRECT WAY, and blue jeans, chances are they listen to country and rock.
     Another point i would like to make is that parents believe that what we listen to will portray the way we act. i believe this somewhat, only for the people that wear skinny jeans and long hear with piercings, because they listen to death metal and heavy rock, and act totally absurd and have a disgusting sense of humor. probably the same way the music artists they listen to act. Another thing i would like to point out is that people who tend to listen to rap, metal, or heavy rock are prone to being disobedient and rebellious, whereas people who listen to country, light rock, or alternative rock are prone to being a little less disobedient. Although most teens and kids a little younger, especially 11-13 years,  are always challenging authority, and "pumped up" music won't help that at  all
