Sometimes

Sometimes there are things I want to do
Sometimes there are things I need to do
Sometimes there are things that are a combination of both
Every so often, there will be things that I can prevent
And others that I can't
Sometimes I grieve for any tragic event
Sometimes I rejoice for events tragic to the enemy
Sometimes, I do both
I leave my family behind for a war zone
And gain a new one wherever I end up
Sometimes I'm fighting for God, country, and family
Sometimes I'm fighting for myself
Sometimes I fight myself before I can fight my enemy
The man on the television likes to remind my family how close I am to danger
The man behind that IED over there would like to blow me to hell
Some days I look up at the foreign sunset and see heaven
Some days I look around me and see hell
Some days I see hell rain from the sky and heaven come running at me in the form of the Afghan children I pray to God I can save yet again
My daughter sends me pictures of her senior prom and her newest boyfriend
A broken Muslim man picks up the pieces of his daughter, a small burial site the only thing he'll have left to cherish
Sometimes the crowds rejoice to see us coming
Sometimes the crowds curse us, our families, and all we hold dear
Sometimes there is a volatile mixture of both
My Afghan contact became a father yesterday, one of those who will be fortunate enough to be raised in a time of relative peace
My buddy died to save me yesterday; his son is four years old
We remember the fallen
While we try to forget
But we NEVER forget the fallen
Some soldiers stand true for this great country
Some have to fall
Rest In Peace Matt

AN:This is for my uncle, Matthew Ryan Kahler, who was killed in Afghanistan on January 26th, 2008. True to his nature, he died protecting his men. He was my hero, and a huge driving force behind my life. Now I feel like I'm drifting, lost. I know what direction I want to go in, but part of the push to get there is missing. I wanted to make him proud, and now I don't know what I'll do...I guess I'll just follow through with my plans to join the Air Force and go from there.

Merry Christmas (and tin man)

omg i found a new obsession! TIN MAN! now, im not all that fond of zooey deschanel, but overall the miniseries is amazing! and the guy who plays Glitch/Ambrose, Alan Cumming, is fucking amazing. I'd never heard of him before except for Spy Kids, but he's frickin cool. I'm gonna join a whole bunch of communities for Tin Man, Stargate, and Doctor Who. While i'm at it, i think i'm also gonna join some groups for some of the actors/characters too. And post some icons. and fan fiction. but for now, im going to bed.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG! So there's this cute Scottish guy from this international program and he keeps coming to my classes promoting his program and im like *drool*. His name is Jaime. Scottish. cute. yup, that pretty much covers it. and i fully intend to go participate in this international student work program. I had to ask him a question and...well, he's cuter up close. I managed to ask my question without stuttering but damn. scottish. cute. Jaime. DT is still hotter though...
Grrr...now i gotta go back to taking notes on my laptop. i'm in geography. college is fun, but it's like, damn this class had to be seventy-five freaking minutes long?! oh well, it can be somewhat interesting, i guess.
ttyl,
Me

Soooo...kat914~Remember my first post? The first time we met, well, online, anyway? Well I just wanted to let you know that I found a few more places where both DT AND BP used the phrase "love of his/her life" when talking about the Doctor and Rose losing each other. It's in the DVD season two set. It's in the extras. There is another place but I just can't remember it. Oh well.
There is also the flirting between Sophia Myles and David Tennant during the in-screen commentary that made me want to smack him for being so damn cute;) It's not fair, you know: he gets to torture us. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. lol

Have a good one,
Jess

Special thanks to kat914 for actually taking the time to read and comment on my boring blog when I find the time to post. Bravo! You must be a saint, man! Anyway, ta till next time! Or tomorrow. Whichever comes first;)

Another icon. I made it in school;) much more fun than my English 11 research paper!

how 'bout this one?

Thu, 15 Mar 2007 02:12:53 GMT

These are my first ever icons. How'd they turn out?

On snowmobiles and David Tennant

Sat, 03 Mar 2007 16:08:11 GMT

I'm gonna go snowmobiling today. We got all these nice snow days from this massive blizzard that swept across our state. I freaking love Minnesota. It's my home state, and man, does it make you tough. Usually. You have to embrace it and not run inside and simper every time the temperature drops. It was funny, though, what this guy on the news said and how true it is for us. We spent a week or two 15-30 degrees farenheit below zero. It was frickin' cold. Anyway, the day we finally got above zero(it was around 7 degrees or so) everyone on the news was so excited and the guy goes, "Isn't this pathetic? It's seven degrees above zero and we're cheering that it's WARMer than usual" but it was so true. Then these people came up from Texas to my school and were whining because it was 19 degrees and they were freezing. My state makes me so damn proud;)
Gawd. When did I develop such a David Tennant fettish? I spend my free time on the computer watching DT interviews and fanvids on YouTube or searching for cute icons. Damn it. It's just he's so effing cute! All his little expressions and everything. And he's good at playing many different roles. I saw that the Goblet of Fire was on the other day and I made my cousin sit through an hour of it so I could see that part cuz I knew it's be funny, the doctor being a psycopath and everything. And it was so worth it! I laughed my ass off, and Kim goes what? so I said that's the doctor! and she goes oh my god! It was so funny! I told her that he was voted sexiest man in the world and she looked doubtful cuz he was doing the weird tongue thing and it was just great. Then I talked to my friend Teresa cuz I knew she'd seen the movie. The exact conversation consisted of:
"Hey Teresa. You know on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? Barty Crouch Jr?"
(blank look)
"The guy with the weird tongue thing?" (lousy demonstration)
"Oh! yeah...why?"
(My bro and I together)
"That's the doctor!"
"OH MY GOD!"
(hysterical giggles all around) so yeah, it was great. Anyway, back to YouTube. I'm watching clips from recovery;)

What was...ARUGHH!

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 01:53:28 GMT

This is written for the Spastasmagoria Glorious Inanity challenge

Once again they were running for their lives. Honestly, the amount of times they had been forced to run for their lives due to something incredibly stupid the doctor just had to blurt out was astounding! It was like that one time when the doctor told the ninja-robots that they would look good in a dress. This body made for an interesting time, to say the least.

Racing into the TARDIS and slamming the door shut behind them, the doctor grabbed Rose and hugged her as they laughed away their fear. Chuckling gave way to full-out hysterical laughter as they fell down and rolled on the uncomfortable metal grates of the floor.

Rose pulled the doctor to his feet.

"What did you say to them?"

"I didn't say anything!" The Time Lord gasped as she promptly stomped on his foot. "What was that for?"

"How could you possibly think that pulling off the queen's wig was a form of greeting?!"

"It will be in a couple hundred years!" The doctor gave her his best puppy-dog look. No fair!

Rose's face began to turn colors. "You-you-you-COUPLE HUNDRED YEARS! AH!"

And then...she jumped him. The little ape snogged the Time Lord senseless before he even had time to respond. Aren't hormones great?

Rose drew back and left the doctor standing there, mouth gaping as he panted. He tried to regain his equilibrium. Damn, since when was a human able to do that to him? The doctor ran a slightly shaking hand through his hair and drove Rose absolutely mad, effectively creating a rumpled, sex-in-specs look. Damn him.

He was finally able to look into her eyes. Rose's hands twitched almost imperceptibly.

"What was..ARUGHH!"

Well, no one ever said that humans were the masters of self control...

If you read, please comment to let me know what ya think! Thanx for the prompt Spastasmagoria!

BTW, none of this was meant to be serious in any way, shape, or form. If something doesn't make sense, it was probably meant that way;)

My Biggest Fears

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 21:14:46 GMT

That I will walk through the world and not leave a single footprint
That for my entire life my feet will never leave the ground and my soul will never search the stars
That I will wake up one day and wonder where the hell my life has gone
That my dreams will whither and die in front of me and I will hate my short life before it is even over
That I will fall in love, only to find that it is not worth is and that I should have run when I saw it
That I will find that my life was a waste of time better spent on someone else

Fanfiction

Sun, 11 Feb 2007 00:07:57 GMT

Ah! So it's six pm and I finally got my most recent chapter up on fanfiction.net. Gawd, I was beginning to wonder if inspiration would ever hit me. "Talking to TARDIS" is my favorite story of mine so far, but it just seems to have run a bit stale. I don't know if it's just me. It could be, since I had eighty reviews for eight chapters, but I don't think so. For me it just seems to get monotonous, and I just want to finish it and move on to the next one. My muse is a bitch and tends to leave me hanging just before the end and start working on something else. When that happens I can't concentrate on my old story long enough to finish it. I do have one chapter left, and since that is already written, I no longer have to worry about that story. However, I do have another story called Dark Sides that I can't seem to get up enough motivation or inspiration to finish. Anyone ever have that problem? What the hell can I do about it? When inspiration does hit, it is usually during school. I suppose that's the best time, though, cuz high school's a bitch...
Any advice? Anyone?

My First Posting

Thu, 08 Feb 2007 00:39:46 GMT

I'm posting this just to post something. I have nothing better to do. Actually, I do, I just don't want to do it. So here's some stuff about my life.

I love Doctor Who. The tenth doctor is my favorite. He's very...complex. It's great to explore or wonder just how far he can be pushed.

I fully believe Billie Piper should either come back to the show, or Rose can have a new friggin' body or something. It's Sci Fi for crying out loud! The doctor should have his love back.

Rose was not killed off for a reason, and I think it was that Billie might come back, or they might want to bring back the character. She is first one he's really fallen in love with. David Tennant admitted in an interview that he loved her. SO WHY THE HELL CAN'T SHE COME BACK AT ANY POINT? What's with all the people thinking all is said and done. IT IS SCI FI!!!!!!

Right, so anyway, I'm gonna eat a hot pocket. MMMMM......

Mission accomplished.

Oh, that reminds me. Is anyone in Civil Air Patrol(America) or the military or anything? I'm gonna join the Air Force, but am currently in Civil Air Patrol in Willmar, Minnesota, USA, North America, Earth, Milky Way Galaxy, Universe, Alpha Dimension...Yeah, sorry, rambled off a little there. But it's pretty cool. Anyone want to learn more? Anyone? Oh, well...

Actually, this has been just a tiny piece of my busy life, but I've suddenly decided to stop writing.

So this is a piece of my thoughts for now...My next post will be more coherent and important...I think...
