For anyone that may happen upon this blog I wanted to share a movie I did for a class. This was a compliment to a Power Point project I did about a particluar reagion and its food. I'm currently working on an edit that would withhold some of the anti-admin images... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8amj68TohFY

What is going on with our Military?

Kyle_Moody1966 — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 18:16:56 GMT

"The Michigan Dilemma" An Analogy Using A Canoe Race A Japanese company (Toyota ) and an American company (General Motors) decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River . Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had 8 people rowing and 1 person steering, while the American team had 8 people steering and 1 person rowing. Feeling a deeper study was in order, American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised, of course, that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing. Not sure of how to utilize that information, but wanting to prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to 4 steering supervisors, 3 area steering superintendents and 1 assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the 1 person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program," with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses. The next year the Japanese won by TWO miles. Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was out-sourced to India. The End Isn't this reminiscent to our Government policies??? “As The Pendulum Swings” The sick repeat of Viet Nam war policies by our incompetent administration makes me Ill. One must learn, and trust the fact, that our military is the greatest in the world, bar none. There are many factors our military is so great and one factor in particular, I think, is that we have seasoned leaders at the top levels of military strategy planning and decision making. If ever given the chance to construct strategies and decisions were applied forth with concerning the war in Iraq the United States of America top Military Brass would most defiantly have given us different results today. Given that the Generals’, Admirals’, colonels’ Lieutenants, Sergeants the enlisted men and women, and every person in between are the best from training to executing orders, one would think that if one were to decide, in favor of, invading a country a world away, that one might possibly trust the experts to accomplish such a undertaking, as opposed to, relying on ones own experiences as, oh, I don’t know, let’s just entertain the idea of, and I know I’m grasping here, an overseen daddy’s boy failed mission attempt in the Army Air National Guard, to run a WAR from the confines of a cushy office. Any Idiot can throw a dart at a spinning globe and tell the modern American Military “go get ‘em” and given the proper support mechanisms, will indeed, “Go Get ‘Em”. I say, “put down your pride helmet Mr. President and let our military get their selves out of the quagmire where have sabotaged and submerged them here”. I don’t know, I’m just sayin! Peace! Kyle…

Here We Come

Kyle_Moody1966 — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 19:27:34 GMT

Too bad this will more than likely be very true in the near future. It is not my intention to down play our soldiers assigned missions. I want to make a shout out to all the sand monkeys who desire the camel MickyD's drive thru, by makeing a statement on how America is always butting in where there nose doesn't belong. Some of us John Q. Publics' here in the U.S.A understand that you have been fighting for that oversized beach for thousands of generations. The middle east has an abundence of oil, therefore the need to take it is shared by only a select few (we're not going to pay for the oil, what are you thinking?). The others understand that when all the oil is gone and only the McDonalds' are left, guess what, You'll be fighting for many more generations to come. For the American Soldier Fighting the Good Fight 2 Timothy 4:7-8 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; Dear Father, warrior against evil, Help me to fight the good fight. Help me to finish the race. Help me to keep the faith, so that I will receive the crown of righteousness which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award me on that Day, and not to me only but to all who have loved his appearing. Teach my arms to war. Teach my legs to run. Teach my lungs to pump air. Let me be a furious and fast warrior in your army of faith. Let me be absolutely immovable in the trust I have in you. Give me an overwhelming love for you and everything you stand for. I love you, Father. I love Jesus and the Spirit. I love your kingdom and all your people. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.

My President Ford PIX

Kyle_Moody1966 — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 22:51:21 GMT

Saying good bye to Jerry Ford in his home town of Grand Rapids, Michigan. What an awesome show of support this day turned out to be. 60,000 people went to the museum for the viewing. 75,000 people lined the streets as the internment procession drove by. Several dignitaries attended including Cheney, Carter, Rich DeVos (of Amway) and many others. I felt for Mrs. Ford the news broadcast showed a very exhausted grieving wife. The day ended with a spectacular salute of a 21 jet fighter fly-over (F15's) 4 rows of 4 jets with the fifth row including a fifth jet to show support navigating the lost soldier formation. The thing kept climbing and climbing until it disappeared into the heavens. A friend had taken some pix so I'll post them later I was trulely moved as usually I'm not into the whole glitz and glam of politics.

A Poem I wrote

Kyle_Moody1966 — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 20:40:10 GMT

Thunder Joy I heard a sound So ever faint Pound, pound, pound It must be found Was it a heartbeat? No not mine All the while A continual re-pete Searching up and down For this musical sound It must be found For energy it emits Can reverse a frown I began to wonder Could it be thunder? Distance afar Comes the musical trance Sun shining Like a brightly lit star Thunder it’s not I will find the beginning This is something That cannot be forgot Searching valley and river All through the land Rhythmic sounds echo I feel will deliver Sound of thunder Softly gently Over taking my thoughts Becoming The rhythms plunder I scream at God This must be you Nothing about it Seemingly odd Give me a path To follow I will This sound becomes me I’ll be gone in a flash Rat-a-tat-tat Tat-tat A-rat-a-tat One does not know On and on it goes The Lord comes Gives me a direction A place Not made of protection Mud, stone, brick or board Follow I must His toung is A two edged sword As mountains Begin to surround Like the great coliseum I am finally enlightened To the creator of this sound A little boy And his shinny little toy Making thunder of Joy Playing his drum The little drummer boy Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

A little about Alaska

Kyle_Moody1966 — Thu, 16 Nov 2006 21:52:42 GMT

I'm a "former resident" of Alaska although I'll be returning, sometime in the near future. Most people in Alaska are not prejudice towards each other. The most interesting characteristic to me is that the indigenous peoples are more accepting to outsiders (transplants) than transplants towards each other. We seem to bring our prejudices every where we go. It's also interesting how the Indians (as they refer to themselves) are so interested in what you can teach them about the "lower 48" or "the outside" or the "war zone" as many refer to the lower 48 states as, but in fact, they are unknowingly teaching you in ways of peaceful co-existence with mother earth and other people that you could only live to learn. It's almost as they treat you as a supernatural being it's wild. Literally wild there like stepping back 150 years. I love it up there. The people are so loving and supportive of each other in ways that affect everyone. The mentality is as though we are all in this together for survival. What one will do for another, in turn, affects many and that kind of Karma is priceless. When I first arrived at my brother’s camp, he's been a transplant for over 30 years, I was in culture shock. My brother was as well as my wife and I brought with us our "war zone" ways. Do you know what I mean when I say people down here always have to one up each other or diss one another? After about 2 months my brother just started bitching me out. The just of the tongue lashing was that he could no longer stand my sarcasm towards others. Until that day I never really saw myself that way. It was when my brother spoke up that I realized how gentle Alaskans were. In many ways I had become protective of my self "street smart" in order to maintain safety and invulnerability. Trying to always stay one step ahead of others I had become the monster my brother so eloquently described to me that day. From that day foreword I took on a new light, the Northern Light. Don't get me wrong Alaska has been under the influence of the western ways for many full moons and in allot of circles you do have undesirables. But generally it's like a commune with millions of acres for your utilization. There is this National state park in our back yard that is the largest US National Park. Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve, I placed a couple links of interest at the bottom if you wish. I lived in chitina with my brother for the first couple of years helping him resurrect a burnt out cabin for him to have a permanent place to live as well as working for a man with a dream to bring life back to Chitina. We reconstructed/remodeled an old hotel, now called Gilpatricks Hotel Chitina. In this little mountain village, like I said, my brother has lived for a good many full moons. I might add that my bro has maintained survival and happiness in a subsistence manner, his most dollar amount earnings in a year since relocating in Alaska was $3,500.00 with $1,500.00 of that being paid to him by the permanent fund dividend for that year Yea I know "Oil Money" Another issue for another day. A friend my brother introduced me to , a Athabascan native Chief, one day took me to some of his property for me to use to hunt or fish or what ever. That day we hiked up this giant hill in Michigan would be considered a mountain. Upon reaching the top I asked him when we would get to his property, waving his arm across the horizon, he replied, "here it is, It's yours, do whatever you wish with it" I just stood there in awe at millions of acres, streams, rivers, mountain ranges, glaciers, forests, Eagles and just about anything your imagination could conjure up. Alaska is truly the last frontier. Please, all who reads this, upon completion, delete and do not share any word of this writing with anybody. We (transplants) don't like all the types of pollution people from the "war zone" might bring with them. lol http://www.nps.gov/wrst/ http://www.wrangell.st.elias.national-park.com/ http://www.spiritmountainalaska.com/index.html (My wife and I worked for this gallery. My bro makes rattles and sells them here. Art, the owner, Is a good man. I love the art sold here, alot of the art is made locally) http://www.hotelchitina.com/ (Good People here) http://www.pawandfeathers.com/ (these folks are some of the finest people I've ever met in my life) http://www.chitnadipnetters.com/frontpage.htm Most everyone some time or another has worked for Hem Charters the owner also owns the only grocery store in Chitina. 2 mobile home trailers put together. It's so rural Alaska. lol

A POEM

Kyle_Moody1966 — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 18:03:03 GMT

Thought I'd share a poem CHANGE What does it take? To turn into a mistake If you listen to others SAY I'll show you the way Or just Take, take, and take Be cautious Wrong choices could bring The death of you If not physical Then surly your sprit Through and Through -When we are born- We are made perfect In the eyes of our maker As we grow old We do as told A little older We make up our own mind Wise, witty, sentimental and kind One thinks It’s hard to look at ones self It’s not like looking into a mirror Telling you of every detail Mirrors never lie kinda like we never do Right? It’s hard to look at ones self That you can put back on the shelf -Middle teens- Maybe twenty and above No exact time I know of I do know one thing for sure It’s from birth to death Somewhere in between New attitude Think we know everything Our parents or peers Become so queer It’s a new life If anybody butts in Who knows what we'll do I swear -All we really have- Are the teachings we gained From the ones who love us Through every Trial, Gain, Pain or Stain The queer peer was there for you If you wanted it or not Even when You were a little snot Stood by you Through all your trials To ultimately see you Again SMILE -When we know this unconditional love- That, from the heart, I speak of We will know in all our being Someone, something Had to take hold Show our queer peer Teach them Stand by them In the same manner As from above Someone, something Had to take hold Of that queer peer And STEER -The pilot at the helm- If you will Has been there for generations Some things repeat And some stay the same I for one Believe in the holy name Gave my family and generations From a-back His will, and Their fill This works for me And My close and extended Family We give thanks For the holy name Has never shown no shame Now it is our time To show And teach AND - CHANGE -

A poem I wrote

Kyle_Moody1966 — Thu, 08 Jun 2006 13:56:32 GMT

United We stand Divied we fall who will be the next to drop the ball we vote in leaders to make dissions I pray not one more soldier will need an incission The person in charge is the one we trust but it's hard to believe in that gets smiles from a barge The war machine is pointing fingers to problems in Iraq what went wrong with their attack trouble lingers The president is a man put there by the people I am a bottom dweller to me he is just another feller In the future make it matter stand up speak out vote for the one that makes you less madder United we stand Divided we fall One by one All for all
