    mines a long story
    15 years ago i broke my back and ended up in a wheelchair
    2 weeks after i got out of the hospitol i started flying gliders.. (like this 1..not a hanglider)
    ~click for glider photo!!!~

    so anyway, on my 2nd solo flight i got intoa thermal with 4 golden eagles (real last names golden coincidentaly) these eagles just circled with me off my wingtip for what seemed like forever

    well a few years later and i met this seneca medicine woman, i cant spell her name but translated to 4 owls..i was staying withher at the time and told her the story about the eagles and she gave me the name..and its stuck ever since
    more people know me as soaring eagle then as my real name

    Holy smoke. What a plane. Do you need a pilot's license for gliding? How did you learn?

    My name comes from the cartoon character Shaggy. I'm as skinny as him, wear my hair shaggy, and can eat pizza after pizza without gaining weight. :)

    there's more then one answer to that. i could try to be mysterious and say a ouji board, and that would be true in a sense. at least that is how i first recouvered it in this life. but it was also my lawful name in a, or possibly many, previous life/lives.

    The Peacekeeper is capable of delivering 10 independently targeted warheads with greater accuracy than any other ballistic missile. It is a four-rocket stage ICBM system, consisting of three major sections: the boost system, the post-boost vehicle system, and the re-entry system. The boost system consists of three rocket stages that launch the missile into space. Following the burnout and separation of the boost system's third stage, the post-boost vehicle system maneuvers the missile in space as its re-entry vehicles are deployed in sequence. The post-boost vehicle system is made up of a fourth rocket stage combined with a guidance and control system.

    The vehicle rides atop the boost system, weighs about 3,000 pounds and is 4 feet long. The top section of the Peacekeeper is the re-entry system. It consists of the deployment module, up to 10 cone-shaped re-entry vehicles and a protective shroud. The shroud protects the re-entry vehicles during ascent. It is topped with a nose cap, containing a rocket motor to separate it from the deployment module. Each deployed re-entry vehicle follows a ballistic path to its target.

    Don't Worry, Be Happy

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



    "Don't Worry, Be Happy" is the title and famous principal lyric of a novelty song by jazz composer Bobby McFerrin, the first a cappella song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, holding that position for two weeks in September of 1988. At the 1989 Grammy Awards, "Don't Worry Be Happy" won 'Best Song of the Year', and the album 'Simple Pleasures' won 'Album of the Year' and 'Best Pop Vocal Performance'.

    The song's title is taken from a famous quote by Meher Baba. [1]

    The original music video stars Robin Williams and Bill Irwin.

    Misconceptions and urban myths

    A common misconception is that the song was written by Bob Marley, even though he had died almost a decade prior to its release.

    The song has entered urban myth in that the 'composer' was to have committed suicide right after writing it; the rumour that McFerrin did so is not correct as he is still alive.

    History

    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Meher Baba "Don't Worry, Be Happy" poster


    Meher Baba (1894 - 1969) often used the expression "Don't worry, be happy" when cabling his followers in the west. Among numerous examples, on December 6, 1958, following a severe automobile accident outside Satara, India, Meher Baba gave this personal message to his followers: "Don't worry, be happy. All will be well. Faithfully carry out the instructions given by me." [2] Later, in the 1960's, this well used expression by Baba was printed up on inspiration cards and even day-glo posters of the era. In 1988, Bobby McFerrin noticed a similar poster in the apartment of the jazz band Tuck & Patti in San Francisco. Inspired by the expression's charm and simplicity McFerrin wrote the now famous song.

    It ought to be noted that Meher Baba did not mean to convey by this expression that one should not tie up their camel, the sentiment that led to the satyrical iconic image of a smiley face with a bullet through its head. He was scrupulous about tending to personal duties and facing reality head on. This is evidenced by the fact that his words were often, "Do your best, then don't worry, be happy." [3

    dustinthewind.

    actually it was supposed to have spaces after dust in the wind.. but uhm, i just fucked that part of it up. No biggy. Then when the big crash of the forums came in 2004 and we all had register, i sooo spelt it wrong, and had to pm skip to fix it.

    anyways,
    dustin is my maiden name. going to bet cremated whenever the good Lord decides, so its kinda like dustin the wind. aww shit it goes back to high school.

    the song by kansas isnt so bad either really, and of course that is the song that i want played as dustin is in the wind.

    did this make any sense at all?
