SOCKS!


WHAT'S UP??!!! I'm Socks! They call me Socks because it looks like I have socks on me feet. I live with Sylvia, Isaac and Erica. Sylvia is a great mommy! Isaac is like the best friend ever! Erica is like the worst sister ever!!!!!!!!! UGGGHHHH she's so rude! Sylvia and Isaac always play with me, take me for walks, and love on me! Erica on the other hand, NEVER even notices me, and when she does, she acts like she's disgusted by me. I know she doesn't like me.
The other day it was freezing and raining, and Erica took forever to let me inside the house. I cried and cried and cried, she still didn't give a crap. She let me in and let me right back out because she didn't want me in the house while she was out. So, I refused!!! I ran from her, hid from her, and barked as loud as I could!! I made the biggest scene in the world! She finally caught me, grabbed my collar and dragged me out of the house! I was soooo freakin' mad! So here I am, still sitting outside in the nasty, ugly weather crying to you. If you speak to Erica, don't forget to mention that I'm coming for her!

THIS IS MY "UNCOVERED HERO STORY!"

Fort Hood hero uncovered


The tragic shootings earlier this month at Fort Hood have raised a number of questions throughout the country.

How could this have happened? Was it terrorist driven? Were there any warning signs that could have prevented this? Did the shooter act alone? But what concerns me is the one question that was seemingly raised but never really answered and then quickly shoved under the rug. That question centers around how Maj. Hasan was actually subdued. Who shot him and ended this rampage of violence?

Many may not have seen a gripping New York Times story on this past Saturday’s front page’

The reporter, James McKinley Jr. does some deft journalistic reporting in uncovering and then retelling what one eyewitness saw. McKinley’s report suggests that Sgt. Kim

Munley – the officer heralded as a hero by the brass at Ft. Bragg in the immediate aftermath of the shootings – may not have been the one who brought Maj. Hasan down.
Instead, her colleague Sgt. Mark Todd, a 25-year law enforcement veteran, rounded a different corner at the time of the Hasan and Munley exchange and took Hasan down. “I just relied back on my training,” he later said in an interview. “We’re trained to shoot until there is no longer a threat. And once he was laying down on his back, his weapon just fell into his hand and I’m, like, ‘O.K., now’s the time to rush him and secure him.’ ”

What an incredible story of heroism itself. Yet when asked about this different account by an actual eyewitness, officials at Ft. Hood pointedly refused to release any further details on how the shootings occurred, according to the New York Times story.

That boggles my mind. Is the military so desperate to find and label a hero that they choose to ignore basic facts? Sure, Sgt. Munley should be honored for her own selflessness. But the truth must come out if that’s what actually occurred. Give the brother credit. If Sgt. Todd stared evil in the face and brought Maj. Hasan down, then he rightfully deserves that distinction and recognition. And the U.S. Army and all involved should respond accordingly.

Sgt. Todd doesn’t strike me as the type of guy who stares at medals or works for the admiration of others. In his own words, he was simply doing his job. But I’m more worried about what this says of our institutions. Didn’t the military learn its lesson in the wake of the Pat Tillman friendly fire episode years ago? Isn’t the truth always the best approach, even if it doesn’t neatly fit a storyline the Army wants to peddle?

Let’s honor a hero this month and acknowledge the intrepid account of Sgt. Mark Todd.

SENIOR YEAR!


Senior year is here.
The end of school is near.
Time is traveling by,
So it's time to give college a try
I anticipate the wait,
especially my first college date.
It's time to leave the nest.
I can only pray for the best.
I daydream of my future,
and hope it's a great adventure.
And to my graduating class,
I hope your lives are a blast!
