All Things Must Come To An End

I apologize for not updating, but I've been busy, and, unfortunately, my life is going to get busier.  I'm beginning track, community service volunteering, Young Marines (again), and preperation for getting into college.  I guess what I'm getting to is that this is my last blog post, but if you want to reach me, just contact me through my parents' e-mail.  We usually check our e-mail frequently.

May the Lord bless you all in your lives.

An Update On Air Force Sports

Last Friday, some friends from church and my family went to a falcons hockey game against Sacred Heart.  If I ever said college hockey was not very violent, I take that back.  We won the game 8-1 but not without any fighting.

The next day, we won another hockey game against Sacred Heart, making the Air Force Falcons the only undefeated college hockey team in the nation.  We are 12-0.

Football is another story.  We lost to TCU (Texas Christian University) 44-10.  It was expected though.

Well, have a good night.

Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road?

Here is something I thought everyone would like.

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

 BARACK OBAMA: The chicken crossed the road because it was time 
for change! The chicken wanted change!


 JOHN MCCAIN: My friends, that chicken crossed the road because 
he was a maverick chicken, and he wanted to engage in cooperation 
and dialogue with all the chickens on the other side of the road.

 SARAH PALIN: The chicken had to cross the road because he was 
not able to find a bridge. Alaskans do not build bridges to
 nowhere. If he wanted a bridge, he'd have to build it himself.


 JOE BIDEN: The chicken crossed the road because he was heading 
back to Scranton.


 HILLARY CLINTON: When I was First Lady, I personally helped that 
little chicken cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely 
qualified to ensure right from Day One that every chicken in this 
country gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, 
this really isn't about me.


 GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the 
road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the 
road, or not. The chicken is either for us or against us. 
There is no middle ground here.


 DICK CHENEY: Where's my gun?


COLIN POWELL: Now, to the left of the screen , you can clearly
see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.


BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with that chicken. What
is your definition of chicken?


AL GORE: I invented the chicken.


JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road,
I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was
misled about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and
will remain against it.


AL SHARPTON: Why are all the chickens white? We need some
black chickens.


DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't
realize that he must first deal with the problem on this side of
the road before it goes after the problem on the other side of the
road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's
acting by not taking on his current problems before adding new
problems.


OPRAH: Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems,
which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of
having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which
is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he
can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest
of the chickens.


ANDERSON COOPER, CNN: We have reason to believe there is a
chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the
other side of the road.


NANCY GRACE: That chicken crossed the road because he's
guilty! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.


PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.


MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that
chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market
to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a cert ain level. No
little bird gave me any insider information.


DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with
a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed
I've not been told.


ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain, alone.


GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the
road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that
was good enough.


BARBARA WALTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we
will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the
heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of
molting, and went on to accomplish its lifelong dream of crossing
the road.


ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.


JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing
roads together, in peace.


BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2008, which will not
only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important
documents, and balance your checkbook. Internet Explorer is an
integral part of eChicken2008. This new platform is much more
stable and will never reboot.


ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did
the road move beneath the chicken?


COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

Enjoy!

College Sports

Living on the Air Force Academy brings us a lot more sports. I went to my first Air Force Falcons hockey game (that's right, we have our own hockey team) a couple weeks ago. It was my first hockey game and it was a blast! We won 6-0 against Bemidji State (who were constantly in the penalty box). Last Thursday, my dad, Kate, and I went to an Air Force Falcons football game against University of New Mexico Lobos. Let me tell you, the falcons can't pass to save their lives. They made only three passes: one incomplete, one intercepted, and one for a touchdown. New Mexico, on the other hand, can pass. Oh well, we still won 23-10. It was cold (in the 30s) but fun. We are looking into basketball games, more hockey games and more football games. Well, I'll be going. Good night. Sir Percy Blakeney

My Life, So Far

All right, I am sorry I haven't been blogging. I just don't think about it. Well here is an update on my life. I too k the PSAT test today For those of you who don't know what that is, it is a test that prepares you for the SAT. It is also an opportunity for getting scholarships, if you make a high enough grade. I think I did well. We'll find out in a few months. I went to see Swan Lake (the ballet) last friday. It is my favorite ballet and was performed very well. Every Sunday night, we host a small group, and it has been going very well. We are going through R. C. Sproul's study "Fear & Trembling", which is very interesting. I recommend it to everyone. This Saturday, all of the boys in my family are going to an Air Force hockey game. A friend of mine says that the Air Force has a good hockey team, so it should be interesting. This weekend, my dad goes out elk and mule deer hunting (I won't be able to because I have school, but that's all right because I'm hoping I can go pheasant hunting on a November weekend). He says that once he has shot those, he will go after rabbits (with a 30-06). We will see how that goes. Well I think that's it. Hope you all have a good night. Sir Percy Blakeney
