I have come to the conclusion eating oatmeal everyday for breakfst makes you fall asleep in the middle of the day. October 21st, 2004:
This is a little scary.....but needs to be read.... From the Wed 06 Oct 2004 issue of the Ellensburg Daily Record (Ellensburg, Washington)... written by Mathew Manweller. Central Washington University political science professor... "Election determines fate of nation" "In that this will be my last column before the presidential election, there will be no sarcasm, no attempts at witty repartee. The topic is too serious, and the stakes are too high. This November we will vote in the only election during our lifetime that will truly matter. Because America is at a once-in-a-generation crossroads, more than an election hangs in the balance. Down one path lies retreat, abdication and a reign of ambivalence. Down the other lies a nation that is aware of its past and accepts the daunting obligation its future demands. If we choose poorly, the consequences will echo through the next 50 years of history. If we, in a spasm of frustration, turn out the current occupant of the White House, the message to the world and ourselves will be two-fold. First, we will reject the notion that America can do big things. Once a nation that tamed a frontier, stood down the Nazis and stood upon the moon, we will announce to the world that bringing democracy to the Middle East is too big of a task for us. But more significantly, we will signal to future presidents that as voters, we are unwilling to tackle difficult challenges, preferring caution to boldness, embracing the mediocrity that has characterized other civilizations. The defeat of President Bush will send a chilling message to future presidents who may need to make difficult, yet unpopular decisions. America has always been a nation that rises to the demands of history regardless of the costs or appeal. If we turn away from that legacy, we turn away from who we are. Second, we inform every terrorist organization on the globe that the lesson of Somalia was well learned. In Somalia we showed terrorists that you don't need to defeat America on the battlefield when you can defeat them in the newsroom. They learned that a wounded America can become a defeated America. Twenty-four-hour news stations and daily tracing polls will do the heavy lifting, turning a cut into a fatal blow. Except that Iraq is Somalia times 10. The election of John Kerry will serve notice to every terrorist in every cave that the soft underbelly of American power is the timidity of American voters. Terrorists will know that a steady stream of grizzly photos for CNN is all you need to break the will of the American people. Our own self-doubt will take it from there. Bin Laden will recognize that he can topple any American administration without setting foot on the homeland. It is said that America's W.W.II generation is its 'greatest generation'. But my greatest fear is that it will become known as America's 'last generation.' Born in the bleakness of the Great Depression and hardened in the fire of WW II, they may be the last American generation that understands the meaning of duty, honor and sacrifice. It is difficult to admit, but I know these terms are spoken with only hollow detachment by many (but not all) in my generation. Too many citizens today mistake 'living in America' as 'being an American.' But America has always been more of an idea than a place. When you sign on, you do more than buy realestate. You accept a set of values and responsibilities. This November, my generation, which has been absent too long, must grasp the obligation that comes with being an American, or fade into the oblivion they may deserve. I believe that 100 years from now historians will look back at the election of 2004 and see it as the decisive election of our century. Depending on the outcome, they will describe it as the moment America joined the ranks of ordinary nations; or they will describe it as the moment the prodigal sons and daughters of the greatest generation accepted their burden as caretakers of the City on the Hill."

What Do Guys Like About You? Take This Quiz :-) Find the Love of Your Life (and More Love Quizzes) at Your New Romance. January 22nd, 2004: ok, here is the first draft... Today, popular culture is everywhere an individual looks. That may be in television, radio, print or Internet communications. Mainstream culture is also a large influence on the youth of today, especially in the minds of aspiring local artists. Communication is how local artists become known and acknowledged. The Chesterfield Bridge a known local band was originated in fall of 2002 by the lead singer Steven Britz. Steven had the idea to create a rock band due to his idol, a band named Deftones. Based off the sounds of the Deftones, Toadies and Incubus, Steven and four others created The Chesterfield Bridge. This essay will be comparing and contrasting aspects of creating and popularizing a suburban rock band by its members. The Chesterfield Bridge is made up of five members, Steven Britz, Dave Healey, Justin Riley, Lewis Hensley, and Ajay Manuolian. The band members’ ages range from seventeen to twenty one. In the beginning, the band was in many conflicting situations with the lead singer still belonging to another local band, Lowlight. After the band started to have rehearsals and some very small beginner shows, they realized this band could go somewhere and develop into a mainstream group. Before this experience could go along the band had to settle some inner structure relations. First was the situation with drummer Dave Healey, he was repeatedly absent and had to be dealt with accordingly. The band decided to replace him with Robert Priebe, a local artist from Four Point Restraint. With the band now complete, they decided to start expanding the groups’ horizons. Other bands I have briefly interviewed to compare and contrast against The Chesterfield Bridge say they find the lyrics for their songs from a vibe or a beat from the radio or a show on television. Two local Detroit bands claimed they were original but they received a lyric or two from a famous singer or talent. If using another artist for lyrics is original than The Chesterfield Bridge is amazingly unique. Steve is an individual who is known for his uniqueness, which he brings with him as he creates the lyrics for the band. Steven describes his lyrics have come from everyday aspirations in his regular life and the rest of the members of the band. He likes to write about uneasy situations in life, sad times, emotional living and a small dab of happiness. These times all evolve together to create the lyrics for The Chesterfield Bridge. The band also creates the vibe of the music from guitars, drums, synthesizers, harmonies of natural sound and electronic adjusters. After the sound or beat of the song is created, the band then applies the lyrics for completion. Many venues around Detroit are aware of the Detroit scene, verbally and musically. Different companies or buildings will hold concert nights so local artists can play and highlight their work. This is how bands begin to gain a fan base, also a possible record label. The Chesterfield Bridge tries to play at many venues every month in dreams of signing to a major recording label. Nevertheless, how they go about receiving a label is different than others. The band precisely picks out certain arenas to play at with the knowledge of audience attendance; this allows them to be spread along quicker. Many bands just pick any venue that is allowing bands to play, which just leads to no spread of musical talent. In the upcoming year of 2004, The Chesterfield Bridge has many goals and obstacles they would like to accomplish and overcome. One of the biggest goals the group would like to achieve is the recording of a demo tape to be sent to national recording companies. With the talent of the five members it will not be long until The Chesterfield Bridge is a unique album being sold in record stores that is set apart from the norm of mainstream popular culture. |
