The Sole Individual
Can you be self-interested in the United States military?
Nothing is greater
Than myself. These groups,
Military, and
Otherwise are much
Older than I. They
Comprise of other
Personnel, but they
Are not greater than
I. Without the sole
Individual
To make up a troop,
There exists no set.
I am a tree in
A woodland and a
Grain of sand in the
Desert: the single
Unit that makes up
The greater picture.
Before I could be
Considered a Force
Fighting for freedom;
A Corps combatting
Corruption; Armies
Ready to make war;
Sailors sending bombs;
Guardsman protecting
Shores; I am just one.
My might lies in my
Very selfishness.

Smartystan
The gleam from the streets of Smartystan sparked the brain. Platinum and diamond streets always seemed to drive thought in the city-state-nation. It meant that vehicles could rove over the avenues and boulevards with ease and become not a distraction but a reminder of how clean and well-kept even the alleyways and back lots had been.

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
