Q: Where do u find peace... Is there a place you go... How do u find peace?

T: there are few place in my life where I find peace... I don't truly know why but for me being near or in water helps me clear my thoughs and feelings..it seems to wash away the clouds of confusion... Recently I have been struggling with knowing what to do with my life... Today has been especially rough for some reason and I could seem to shake the dispare I felt... Spent about a half hr done by the river just listening to taiko drums and breathing... Watching the water flow by almost imagining my worries, fears, and confusion drift away with the current.. No one can give u peace truly, they can only help u find it within ur self...

W: Peace - peace means different things to different people but the dictionary states that peace is-
Cessation of or Freedom from Any strife or dissension Freedom of the mind from annoyances, distractions, anxiety, an obsession, ect.

Koala bear - The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia
The koala is broadly similar in appearance to the wombat (its closest living relative), but has a thicker coat, much larger ears, and longer limbs. The koala has large, sharp claws to assist with climbing tree trunks. Weight varies from about 14 kg (31 lb) for a large southern male, to about 5 kg (11 lb) for a small northern female. The koala's five fingers include two opposable thumbs, providing better gripping ability. The first two fingers are positioned in apposition on the front paws, and the first three fingers for the hind paws. The koala is one of the few mammals (other than primates) that has fingerprints. Koala fingerprints are similar to human fingerprints; even with an electron microscope, it can be quite difficult to distinguish between the two.

Q- Why do you need a blog?

T- Well since i have to do this for my class i figured i would kill two birds with one stone... Blogs whats the point?... well for me its just another outlet to let me put my thoughts down and share them with my friends... For a business blogs would be a good way to keep clients and employees updated on what is going on in the company... since blogs can be feed into websites, like facebook or person web pages, they are versatile and easy to manage... do you really need a blog? not really there are other ways to do the same thing but having a blog allows you to be more hands on with the information that your putting out there.

Question- What do u do when ur ganged up on by 4 foot penguins?

Answer- well if your Antarctica then you don't do anything cause its a huge fine for messing with the animals. anywhere else whatever u can....

Thought- true story...Back in 2002 I had the pleasure of traveling to Antarctica while stationed on the USCG cutter Polar Sea (an ice breaker). On this deployment we traveled from Seattle to McMurdo station, Antarctica.

while we were in Antarctica we were given ice liberty( relaxation time on the ice) so basically the ship just pulls over in the ice and we all get off to enjoy the sun and some beer and ice football.

"Ice Liberty"
On one of these ice liberties i decided to take my lawn chair and just sit have a few smokes and a some beer, while i was sitting there i got the strange feeling that i was being watched. i didn't think much of it until the feeling got stronger and more creepy. when i turned around there where 2 emperor penguins about a foot away from me just staring at me.. so i got up, grabbed my chair and moved. when i sat back down i looked over my shoulder, the penguins had followed me, this time i decided to just get up and watch them. as i was standing there they decided to check out what i had in the cup holders of my chair (my beer and smokes. i thought it was funny until one of them decided that they wanted my beer and proceeded to take it out of the cup holder and start waddling off, then i started to get mad til the second one say the first one and decided that they wanted my smokes too. yes that is correct the penguins stalked me and stole my stuff... again this is a true story.

The Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and is endemic to Antarctica. The male and female are similar in plumage and size, reaching 122 cm (48 in) in height and weighing anywhere from 22 to 45 kg (49 to 99 lb). The dorsal side and head are black and sharply delineated from the white belly, pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ear patches. Like all penguins it is flightless, with a streamlined body, and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat.

So here goes todays:

question- does a ninja monkey need safety gear when bowling?

Thoughts- so i made the presidents list at the college last quarter and stead of doing a "tea" thing they decided to take us all out for bowling but apperently bowling is a dangerous sport and to go i have to sign a waver thingy, so that if i get hurt i cant sue them. so i was thinking i better get some safety gear to bowl in so i dont get hurt. that lead to the question at hand i know seems silly but really would a ninja monkey have all the skills to safely bowl with out getting hurt? my thought is if hes a ninja then he should be able to handle the task but seeing how hes a monkey i question whether or not he has the dextarity to bowl in the first place...
