Collection of most of my Korean version of American Movie posters.  Still have most of these, though I did sell a few on eBay.

The 50 Greatest “Conservative” Rock Songs

Really like this song by the group Kharma 45

Incredible video from Afganistan featuring the song from the blog badgerjake.blogspot.com

The posted decription of the video is… “This video was sent to me by one of the Irish Ranger Co. guys that we had the privilege of working with.  Our teams often worked in support of the Brits, and this video depicts what they went through for the week that they occupied a patrol base just outside our FOB.  The video in the below post, where I’m commentating, probably took place while this base was under attack.  You’ll see that the Brit’s, especially the Irish, love a good fight, and they love to do it in comfortable style- notice the gym shorts and flip flops.  Don’t be fooled though, these guys were good, and we were privileged to work with them.”

Lyrics

Come
Down the soul
And this
Aching breaking my
Bones are shaking I
Feel me quaking I
Come down easy but
Far to easy I’m
Feeling sleazy got
On my knees singing
I won’t breath and I
I can’t sleep in this
Hotel room will just
Fall apart she said
Come to my door I’ll
Give you some more if
You’ll go easy and
Feel the beat coming

You give me sweet ecstacy
She gives me sweet ecstacy

Feel the
Hotel room shaking
I feel my body
Quaking in the soul
Til me shaking I
Feel the strokes and I
Feel the streets and I
I feel it coming down
I feel it hit the ground
Feel my deamons beat
Heal the summer street
Feel the base line I
I feel it shakin I
I Feel the soul and this
Hotel room will just
Fall apart from the
Haters at the top

She gives me sweet ecstacy x4

And I come down
I can feel the escape
Watch me come down
I can only see your face
Let me come down
Come down
Come down
I can only see your face

I said I
I think I drink too much
I think I smoke too much
I think I take too much
I think you talk too much
But I can feel my soul
Feel it all implode
Feel my world explode
But you feel the
Hotel room shaking
I feel my body
Quaking in the soul
Til me shaking I
Feel the strokes and I
Feel the streets and I
I feel it coming down
I feel it hit the ground
Feel my deamons beat
Heal the summer street
Feel the base line I
I feel it shakin I
Feel the soul and this
Hotel room will just
Fall apart from the
Haters at the top

She gives me sweet ecstacy x4
She gives me sweet
You give me sweet

Goliath is one of their “Max” rides. We rode it after Colussus (the old Wood rollercoaster). Andi got a little psyched out for Goliath because the kid riding in the car with me kept saying how scary Goliath was. It has a near vertical 61-degree 255 foot main drop (26 stories @ 85 mph) that exists through a 120-foot long tunnel. The ride lasts 3 minutes.

Check out the look on Andi’s face during the drop. Allie missed the whole drop trying to keep her little sister alive. As you can see from my face I’m having a blast in the car in front of them.
