Ever have that feeling where you just know that something speical is gonna happen?
Today started when a bird took a shit on my shoulder, which wasn't noticed until the SGT running PT noticed it as we were running back to the company on a rather great run, in terms of my weakness, i kept a great pace for 3ish miles, which is better then i've been doing.
from 9:20 to about 10:30 i took part in a ceremony that changed the CSM of Brigade, and 1SG told us to take a Bankers Lunch.
about 1345ish, after standing around thinking i had to help clean weapons, i head to the motor pool to help input equipment into The Box, a computer, so we can begin reset.
1455, just as the five minute warning sounded before the flag was lowered, we were released for the day, i love Thrusdays in Fort Hood, Phantom Time i believe it's called, or simply Family time.
1521 i get a text message saying the family is blessed with healthly twin boys from my Aunt and Uncle.
Today was a beautiful day that started when a bird took a shit on my shoulder.

Hoppy Easter
Easter 2011 is today, and it's a decent day. other then being completely board out of my mind and enjoying the semi peace i can get with my roommate... and my phone acting up like no tomorrow, and upon writing them the Boston Red Sox are on their way to another Holiday Victory.
Last week i had a friend reach out to me. now this is a friend i haven't talk to since we parted ways after High School Graduation, but was more then willing to call up and talk to him when he needed it most. we talked, and i knew afterwards he was feeling better, hell i got him to laugh even.
but if you have a friend with Dark Thoughts, do not hesitate to help them or help them get help. this wasn't the first time he had thoughts like that, even after nearly two years i know him well enough to... well know him. i know of most of his trials, and i've given him that lifeline, i just hope he continues to use it.
well enough of that, i hope you all had a good easter, hop to life now

Freedom
Pedaling a bike on a beautiful day like today was refreshing, I even enjoyed the burn of my thighs as i climbed up the small hills of Fort Hood justing going coast to coast... one side to the other.
Running on a treadmill, or even biking on a stationary bike, does not give me the same feeling as actually riding a bike, or actually running. being stationary offers nothing, not even an ounce of false motivation to get a workout. but moving somewhere, heading to a destination, feeling the wind rush by as you cut through the air, that gives me the want to keep going.
I'm not a gym person, i probably won't ever be, i only go becasue we go there for PT sometimes, for these crossfit exersises. sure i might feel the workout, but does it help for the PT tests? guess i'll find out soon enough with the upcoming record test... granted i'm only lacking in the run and i know i've improved since i last took one... nearly a year ago because i jsut got to the unit, which had been deployed.
The freedom to move, however, is greatly welcomed. not only am i able to explore the area a little more, but i can get a good workout at the same time.
and maybe, i can improve where i have been lacking.

Hidden Mickey
Blame is all on Kingdom Hearts, but I have recently been on a Mickey Mouse crave.
I've known about Mickey, but i have never really been one to watch cartoons that much, sure there was transformers, but only Armada and the new Prime, i was always more of a gamer, and even that is causal at best.
Didja know that Mickey's first spoken line was "Hot Dogs!"
or the fact if you listen to each of the four voice actors, they are very similar to each other...
I wonder what special Mickey will get for his 100th brithday, which is somepoint within the next 20 years...

Paychecks
A lot of the military, it would seem, is into partying every weekend, drinking beer and having a good time.
a lot of the military also smokes.
Then there's gas prices and bills...
in short, money often goes down the drain without much thought, or a grimace.
normally that ain't to much of a problem for my battle buddies... except that we are only being paid up until today on the 15th if they get bi-weekly checks because the government cannot come up with a budget plan and the government will shutdown.
which means only half of our half of mid month; and all but essential businesses close.
lovely.
Don't we all just love our government?
charish your money.

Dreams spur Ideas
The past two days I've had 'similar' dreams, in a sense they take place in the same area.
It has to deal with Rare Eagles, Kings, and a group of adventurers.
It all started with the Dream of Eagles, King, and arguments. what i have figured as two brothers arguing about the well being of the people... i think i cannot remember the best part... i get a foggy idea about the King, who's crown has a large jewel on the top that looking in, you can see '11', but the first 1 is only half there. this King is dressed in White, while his brother is seemingly in black... i don't recall seeing a good look of the antagonist. at the end, we are high above the land, looking down it looks like and Eagle's head on the side. i think i heard what sounded like someone explaining the history of the land, King's being chosen by an Eagle descending from the Maiden Eagle, the one legend and religion believe to be the first creature on the land. an Eagle flies in, looking like a rough animators creation, as the voice continues to explain that An Eagle will pluck one feather out of its body for the King to keep as a good luck charm.
The second dream, which i just had, deals with a group of adventurers. i had originally planned only four, but in this dream a fifth one appeared in the dream so now I've gotta reorganize my thoughts.
Anyway, we follow two of them mainly in this dream, the first one indicates this dream takes before the other one, as the King, Dana as i remember from the first one him being called, the only name that stayed, is courting a female, and slips a ring onto a metal rod she carries with his mouth... strange but that's how it was, perhaps a tradition.
Then we go to another female, who i am naming Tiffany, with her older brother in the woods. they both spot a young Eagle gazing upon them. as the brother climbed to get a closer look, he comments i looks like the King's, being young and without it's white head, which matches the recent rise to the throne of the latest King, as Eagles in legend and religion are said to get their white head 3 -5 years after they chose their king. when the brother grew to close, the eagle flew off and past Tiffany, who finds a maple leaf on her shoulder, green as spring and foreign to their home. confused and curious to what it means, they head back to town.
News of the King's disapperance reaches them, and the female that Dana proposed to is confused, having just been with him the day prior. As Tiffany holds the maple leaf, she is found by the castle's medic, who ushers her to him. she soon finds herself with the female with Dana's ring, the Royal Archer and Mage, the Medic himself, and the group is joined by another female archer who asks if she can join them. they depart into the late Autumn Early Winter air in search of their King.
It has been some time since a dream has spurred so hard with a story thought, and now I've got my mom interested in what i can accomplished, so i have to try and go through with it the best i can... Reviving Life may be on hold until that one gets some ideas of it's own.
Yikes.

Schemes, jokes, Pranks
Sitting around waiting for formation at 1500ish and my Platoon Sergeant remembers it's April Fool's day. as the group sits there, we were all trying to decide who would be a good one to hit up... not that they would end up doing so as far as i know. since the majority of the Battalion is still on leave, the idea was to hit up someone and say that their leave packet says they're leave ended yesterday and they need to come sign in.
then i heard last years prank, that was funny, and they taped it, wish i could see it.
Today is the so called 'prank day' as it has evolved into, heck the baseball season opened today, and a few websites i go to has/had something - TFW2005, which normally stands for Transformers World in the year of Transformers: The Movie, became 'The Fuzzy World 2005' as their prank.
Zeldawiki is another site i visit, they almost had me with a long explaintion of what could have been the plot to the upcoming Wii Title, Skyward Sword, i wasn't fooled, but it was a good read.
Then there's mother nature dumping more snow in the northern areas, my parents haven't even seen the ground since it began to melt before the storm came.
Last year this time i was still in AIT, but i don't think anything happened... but the entire stay there i foggy at best, i was sick a lot for some reason
anyway, happy Fools day, hope you weren't fooled to much.
