Navy SEALS - God bless them
Cassie sent me this. I’ve seen it before but it has a little bit more meaning now…
Two things Navy SEALS are always taught:
1. Keep your priorities in order
2. Know when to act without hesitationA college professor, an avowed atheist and active in the ACLU, was teaching his class. He shocked several of his students when he flatly stated that once, and for all he was going to prove there was no God. Addressing the ceiling he shouted: “GOD, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you exactly 15 minutes!!!!! The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by. ” I’m waiting God, if you’re real knock me off this platform!!!!”
Again, after 4 minutes, the professor taunted God saying, “Here I am, God! I’m still waiting!!!” His count down got down to the last couple of minutes when a Navy SEAL, just released from the Navy after serving in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and
newly registered in the class, walked up to the Professor.The SEAL hit him full force in the face, and sent the Professor tumbling from his lofty platform. The Professor was out cold!! The students were stunned, and shocked. They began to babble in confusion. The SEAL nonchalantly took his seat in the front row, and sat silent. The class looked at him and fell silent…waiting. Eventually, the professor came to, and was noticeably shaken. He looked at the SEAL in the front row. When the professor regained his senses, and could speak he asked: “What the hell is the matter with you? Why did you do that?” “God was really busy, protecting America’s soldiers, who are protecting your right to say stupid shit, and act like an asshole…so he sent me!
Congratulations to Wolfe and Lehn!
To be honest I don’t know Brian Wolfe, but Travis is one of my friend’s roommates and he seems like a good guy, but anyway they won the Whitewater Student Government elections. I did a little campaigning for them, I wore a sticker all day on Tuesday.
I’m actually surprised they won, as they were up against a guy, Johnny Lechner, who drummed up quite a bit of publicity on the regional and national levels by his non-traditional student status; he’s been in college for 11 years. Hopefully he has learned something from the business classes he’s taken and uses the free press to further his music career. From his website it sounds like that he may have hit the goldmine. So he shouldn’t be too upset about his Whitewater Student Government defeat.
I never really got involved with student government as I never saw the point. Although after this election for Whitewater Student Government President and Vice-President I’m regretting that decision. I didn’t realize that they actually have some pull with the administration and the networking opportunities and learning experiences are awesome. Oh well.
Has it really been 5 year???
That was the subject line to an email I just recieved from Becky… Yes it is indeed time for my first high school reunion. I’m actually very excited about it… I want to see what everyone is up to and catch up with a few people who have fallen by the wayside over the years. I figured I’d be one of those guys afraid to go because I’m not successful but I could care less. I’m almost done with my degree, I joined the national guard, I lost a bunch of weight. The only two things that I wish I had that I don’t: 1) More Hair - I’m tired of the bald spots. 2) A wonderful girlfriend - it seems like everyone has a long term one or is getting or has got married.
Anyway if you graduated from Sun Prairie Senior High School in 2000 and haven’t heard about saving the date of August 20th for our reunion, shoot me an email and I’ll forward you the “official email”
Books, books, and more books
Well I finally picked up my textbooks today. I set a new personal record by waiting 32 days into the semester! I only gave in because I have a couple of tests coming up and I have getting a 4.0 as a New Year’s Resolution… we’ll see if it happens.
