It's still purple skies from where I stand.

"Welcome to the Purple Skies." That's what they say. It's week 4 and 2 to go for graduation. The instructors are starting to put some stress factors on for us to handle. I aptly volunteered for the slide show of course. Cliques are forming among the groups, faces are starting to identify with names, weariness is the latest fashion. It's time I walk away for the weekend and take a break. Food in the cafeteria isn't working with me, so I'm losing weight, along with others, lol. Salad is becoming a staple and not a side. There was almost a revolt after having to eat off campus for 3 meals, all weekend, for 2 weekends at a local Pizza shop. Starbucks and Sushi seem to be a much anticipated nightly if not weekly release for a lot of us. Some of the cadets aren't handling the good cop vs bad cop act. It takes a different mindset to understand and go with it. See you soon. Life is good.

It's one big party!

I started the academy with the knowledge of that some old friends are already on the way. It's like a high school reunion with some and bonding with others. It makes for an interesting start. 5 more weeks of this schooling to be schooled and I'm off. I'm not too inspirational and getting tired by the minute. I might just post some more photos, or not. I'm only using the pocket camera for the duration of the academy.

Yes We Can.

Watching politicians tonight at the RNC leads me to believe they have no soul, no way out of Iraq, and no clue as to what the American people want. They failed to tell the American people that they intend to continue with the failed Bush Administrations policies in economy, world matters and continue to drill for oil when this nation needs more refineries, for the last 30 years, that would reduce oil prices. Nothing moved me watching VP candidate Palin ramble on about how McCain was a POW. Being shot out of the sky doesn't make you a great or even good presidential candidate. Continuing to drag us into economic disaster and not having a sound economic plan and continuing to use the same failed systems in place just means, you either don't have a clue to how to solve the current mess we're in or you are definitely out of touch with the people.

Why is gas one of the highest in the nation, in Alaska, if we are already drilling there, Mrs. Palin?
Why are we still in Iraq?
How are we supposed to solve our plunging economy with the same disastrous path?
Why has no one mentioned that McCain is a flip flopper at this point?
Maverick? I think not.
Why has no one mentioned that McCain is linked to the S & L scandal of the 80's?
If he is such an honorable man, why is he the only politician to ever announce on national TV that Obama would be in Afghanistan and Iraq on a certain date? No other politician or military leader would ever do that.

Change is now overdue and Obama is our hope for a better future.

I found her only to lose her again...

I hope everyone had a good Labor Day Holiday. I spent mine with friends at a BBQ, marked with mustaches, eye patches, and an adult themed pinata. Not too restless as I get ready to disappear again, this time for 6 weeks to the fire academy. We went out later on in the night to Asylum for some fun. I found a girl at the club that I think is uber cute/hot. I fall for the plain Jane's. She had short blonde hair, 80's style, curled in, and black nylons, short black skirt. Very hot. She was with another group of friends but came up to me later on in the night because she remembered me from the Press Club. Too bad for me, she was with already with a date.
