Peaces (lyrics without music... yet)

Sit in your leather chair and call your sandy jets
Drink your chilled Hennessy and place your lavish bets
Encompass yourself safely in your illusions

Think about what you do, think about what you say
Don’t believe that yours is truly the only way
Sharpen yourself with righteous collusion

Beware your voice, mark my words
Of my choices, don’t make light
Just because I want peace,
Doesn’t mean I won’t fight
I’ll play fair and make nice with all
Soak up rancid sunshine
But night will come and your world will end
The second your world touches mine

Take off your reins, open your brain
Think with your soul if you can
Hone your tolerance razor sharp

If only history could be written by the oppressed
Could our future withstand that test
Of truth?

Safety violations of any kind were an automatic failure (minus 35 points). Why they didn't just make it a 99-point violation, I'm not quite sure. After the nomenclature test was the JMPI portion, which stands for JumpMaster Personnel Inspection. We learned the...

Welcome to my first official Blog! I've done some small amount of writing in the past, but nothing regularly so let's see how this sticks to my lifestyle. I may be putting some of my motorcycle rides and/or endeavors into this, so I'll have to practice putting up pictures and remembering details as I ride. For those who don't know about me, I'm the proud owner of a used 1999 Triumph Trophy 900 motorcycle. I bought it back in April 2010 from the original owner, who purchased it in Southern California and took extremely good care of it. He passed it over to me along with a folder full of service records, some extra case seals, spark plugs, and an oil filter. I took the Basic Motorcycle Rider's Course back in July of 2008, and it took me almost two full years to save up the money. This is actually a good thing, because it took me about that long to figure out exactly what type of motorcycle that I wanted. I did pretty extensive research, too. I looked ...
