Since web design is moving towards Content Management Systems (CMS), I thought best to recreate my website that I started at Lanier Technical College in Oakwood, GA to this blog.  Since a lot more blog writers are out there, I thought that if I do not do this, I will be left behind the eight ball.

As you will read them you will learn a different aspect of who I am. In all my writings, a little of me is placed in it. With my love of writing, I cannot do anything else but present aspects about myself. When a writer writes, he or she writes from their every most being. There could be writers that write on the opposite of who they are. In itself that means the writer is writing about himself. Once a reader reads enough of that person's writings, they will come to know who the writer is all about. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;p&gt;I think that is the main purpose of blogging. It is the means of expressing oneself in ways that might not be able to do in any other way of writing. Writing is more then just self identification. Writing is the means of self exploring. No matter what genre a writer may write, the writer will learn new things about him or herself as they continue to write and write and write. That is the wonders of writing. It is the journey to allow the readers to enjoy a good story as well as the journey of exploring one's self through what they write each and every time a story is complete. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;p&gt;My blogs shares my ideas and values. This is what makes a person unique and different from everyone else. Personality is the some total of what I man thinks and how he goes about his life. Through the thought processes of day to day life, one can do a great many things. It is what we think that makes the difference in all aspects of life as well as how we go about using what we have learned. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;p&gt;In my life, I love to inspire others on what I have learned in my life, so that one day they can be able to live their own lives to the fullest of what life has to offer. If all of us would live for the best quality of life, then there is no limit of what we as individuals can do less alone what we could do as a whole in any nation. Where there is knowledge there is a possibility to grow and do wonderful things. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As you read more and more of my blogs, I hope that you in turn write your own blogs to share your ideas and values. One person can make a difference in someone's life including you own. So get out there and get messy, make mistakes, take chances, and learn. You will never know what you will find and learn. There are wonders that awaits us all.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; width: 390px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:5fdf1097-fc89-4975-805b-e2f0be30f1e3" class="wlWriterSmartContent"&gt;   &lt;div&gt;&lt;embed height="326" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3jQ3qE-FLKo&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1" wmode="transparent" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The Blogs &amp;amp; Social Media Accounts: &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://brandonblogs.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;My General Blog&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://web2cms.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Today's Web Design&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://ourbodies.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Human Body Blog&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://isisearth.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Isis Godddess &amp;amp; Earth&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://brandonscienceblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Brandon Science Blog&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://brandonhistoryblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Brandon's History Blog&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://brandonpoliticalblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Brandon's Political Blog&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bullyinghurtsall.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Bullying Hurts All&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1070450775" target="_blank"&gt;My Facebook Account&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://friendfeed.com/fraterphoenix" target="_blank"&gt;My Friendfeed Account&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/Frater_Phoenix" target="_blank"&gt;My Twitter Account&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;My Stories on a Blog &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://sgcandtheforce.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;SGC and the Force&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://thenewjediknights.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The New Jedi Knights&lt;/a&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://deathofthesith.blogspot.com/2008/11/chapter-1-new-jedi-knights.html" target="_blank"&gt;Death of the Sith&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3405528063231072406-6692150850209193954?l=brandonwritings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3405528063231072406/posts/default/6692150850209193954'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3405528063231072406/posts/default/6692150850209193954'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandonwritings.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-blogs.html' title='My Blogs'/><author><name>FraterPhoenix</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03599005182269665500</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eRE1Z-onbmE/TlFqG-457OI/AAAAAAAABBc/x81zRwUdKVc/s220/Crossover%2BSaga.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405528063231072406.post-5799186725432618538</id><published>2008-03-17T14:06:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2008-12-13T21:12:52.089-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Greetings to all</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="wlWriterSmartContent" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:ffc56b33-85ee-4ff2-b5af-121d464872de" style="padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZnVL0d9fwkY&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZnVL0d9fwkY&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxQQael1ueE" target="_blank"&gt;part 2&lt;/a&gt;&amp;#160; &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Hello there. This blog is a remake of my website that I created at Lanier Technical College. Since Content Management Systems are growing very fast, I decided to recreate my website to this blog. I started off with General George S. Patton due to the love I have for my country the support I have for all branches of the military that makes the United States of America free. All freedom comes at a price, a very large one. Nothing worth having is never easy. If we do not support our military, then we end up not supporting our freedom, and will loose it as the result.&amp;#160; Even though our federal government lied big time to us all about the war in Iraq, we should still support our troops.&amp;#160; It seems that us citizens are the only ones left.&amp;#160; Watch this &lt;a href="http://joost.com/0320033#start=4190882" target="_blank"&gt;video&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;#160; This video is whats right in Iraq.&amp;#160; I hope all that watch it will support the troops from that day forward.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/38nx3mjXJMk&amp;amp;hl=en" width="425" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;In my freedoms, I can write my blogs, stories, poems, or whatever I want to write. All I have to do is be responsible for what I do in my own private life and towards everyone I make contact with. I choose my freedoms to better myself and enlighten others throughout without violating their privacies. If no two people think I like. , then no two people's faith is alike. If we really want to better others people's lives, then we must do it in the means of respect of how they think and believe. In all the faiths that are out there, I come to learn that we all believe in the same God just in different ways. All roads do lead to Rome.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zcieSPDaxJE&amp;amp;hl=en" width="425" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;At the end of this video, it does show that man has used our faith against us. That is why I say faith instead of religion. Faith is spirituality. Religion, at least to my point of view, is man controlling how we believe through a particular faith. Love is the main key. If the leaders of the faith you are into does not teach love then I would question the leadership. Love is unconditional. Either you love someone or you do not. If the one you love does something bad, then why stop loving that person? Remember this, true love is unconditional.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;For the rest of this blog, I will share who I am and my writings, so please enjoy this blog. Also please post your comments I would love to hear from all of you.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3405528063231072406-5799186725432618538?l=brandonwritings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3405528063231072406/posts/default/5799186725432618538'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3405528063231072406/posts/default/5799186725432618538'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandonwritings.blogspot.com/2008/03/greetings-to-all_17.html' title='Greetings to all'/><author><name>FraterPhoenix</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03599005182269665500</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eRE1Z-onbmE/TlFqG-457OI/AAAAAAAABBc/x81zRwUdKVc/s220/Crossover%2BSaga.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405528063231072406.post-5752643744162922863</id><published>2008-03-17T13:45:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-03-29T10:37:56.472-04:00</updated><title type='text'>My Web Links</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Wicca Websites   &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pagannews.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Pagan News&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://witchvox.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Witches' Voice&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cauldronliving.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Cauldronliving&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.witchway.net/" target="_blank"&gt;The Inner Sanctum of Wicca and Witchcraft&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.carm.org/wicca.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Wicca&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.religioustolerance.org/witchcra.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Wicca, the religion&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wicca.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The      &lt;br /&gt;Celtic Connection&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicca" target="_blank"&gt;Wicca - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;News and Weather    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="Fox News " href="http://www.foxnews.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Fox News&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="NOAA National Weather Service" href="http://www.weather.gov/" target="_blank"&gt;NOAA National Weather Service&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="The Brandon Bowers Report" href="http://www.crayon.net/read.cgi?mjbrandonbowers@yahoo.com" target="_blank"&gt;The Brandon Bowers Report&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="The Gainesville Times" href="http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Gainesville Times&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Writing    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://showbizltd.com/_sbl_pages/writers_agents.html" target="_blank"&gt;Literary Agents for Writers&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.writing.org/" target="_blank"&gt;Writing.org&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.newnovelist.com/?source=google&amp;amp;group=Writing&amp;amp;keyword=writing&amp;amp;gclid=CIaKxOjEmocCFRV0OAodCyYsrA" target="_blank"&gt;Creative Writing Software &lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writing" target="_blank"&gt;Writing- Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.writing.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Writing.com&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.writing-world.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Writing      &lt;br /&gt;World&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quintcareers.com/writing/" arget="_blank"&gt;Indispensable Writing Resources&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.junketstudies.com/rulesofw/" target="_blank"&gt;11 Rules to Writing&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sfwa.org/writing/" target="_blank"&gt;Science      &lt;br /&gt;Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, Inc.&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.howtowriteachildrensbook.com/?OVRAW=writing&amp;amp;OVKEY=writing&amp;amp;OVMTC=standard" target="_blank"&gt;Writing Children's Books&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Miscellaneous    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nicholassparks.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Nicholas Sparks&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stephenking.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Stephen      &lt;br /&gt;King&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mpmbooks.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Elizabeth      &lt;br /&gt;Peters&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.crichton-official.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Michael Crichton&lt;/a&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.cdc.gov/index.htm?s_cid=LinkToUs_001"&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="Be Healthy!

It is the means of drawing, designing, and bringing out things in life with mere words. A picture can say a thousand words, but without poetry the words would be meaningless. It is poetry that controls the mode and bring out the wonders of life itself. A picture can show all aspect of what is being shown. It is poetry that brings that picture to a whole level of understanding. Poetry cannot be carried out without a memory of sight that is being presented. The reader must see what the poem is saying, or the poem cannot be taken to the fullest consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poetry is an art that draw without a single pencil or brush. Just the same poetry can present all the colors and glory that the best artist could ever do on a canvas. Poems can also present music and other wonderful visualizations that can never be done by any artist. Where a picture can tell a thousand words, a poem can say the most wonderful things in much less words. It is the control that the poet has that no picture could ever accomplish.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you will read the poems that I have written, you might see what I am saying here. My poems are mostly romantic. To me there is no thing better in life then to cuddle up to someone that is special and loving. To share one's life with that special someone and have that someone do the same is a very wonderful thing in life. How much poets have done there best in describing this wonder of life, there can be no poetry that can fully explain it. The only way to find the true meaning is to experience it for yourself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poems and Stories &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=" http://www.fictionpress.com/~bb112266" title="Home page of the poems and stories" target="_blank"&gt;Home page of the poems and stories&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3405528063231072406-6914168246968898028?l=brandonwritings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3405528063231072406/posts/default/6914168246968898028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3405528063231072406/posts/default/6914168246968898028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandonwritings.blogspot.com/2008/03/my-poems.html' title='My Poems'/><author><name>FraterPhoenix</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03599005182269665500</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eRE1Z-onbmE/TlFqG-457OI/AAAAAAAABBc/x81zRwUdKVc/s220/Crossover%2BSaga.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405528063231072406.post-5478613834688130610</id><published>2008-03-17T12:30:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2010-05-30T22:39:30.224-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Stargate SG1 and Star Wars Crossover Stories</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_2TJyJz4KqrI/S_7PS82ftKI/AAAAAAAAA3A/G0pHF9Vd1Xc/s1600-h/StargateForce3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Stargate Force" border="0" alt="Stargate Force" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_2TJyJz4KqrI/S_7PTBUyE3I/AAAAAAAAA3E/G0lCmaKp30o/StargateForce_thumb1.jpg?imgmax=800" width="367" height="255" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;div style="text-align: center"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Have you ever wonder about the history of the Jedi Knights? Have you ever thought there were more to the Force and what is it to be a Jedi Knight? Wonder no more! This eight part storyline will tell all.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;These stories are more than two great science fiction stories combined as one. It is about the human condition beyond any story that could ever be told. It has realism that might make you believe that all these eight stories could be real as life is at this moment. There is more to any story than words on a page. It is a measure of great character under dire circumstances. In every story I have written under this one storyline, there are heartache, love, sadness, happiness, and all the other wonders we all experience in our lives today. The backdrop of these stories is based on Star Wars and Stargate SG1, but the meat and potatoes of every chapter is based on the human condition.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A great story is the means to escape reality for a short time, but without the means to touch our own souls a story would have a very empty plot. These eight stories will carry the reader to wonders that will live with them time after they put them down. Enlightenment is the success of any great science fiction story. Both Star Wars and Stargate SG1 has enriched our lives beyond anything before. To be a better human being is far more than the dry facts that we learn. It is the means of how we interact with life all around us.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;From “Sam Carter” to “Stargate Force” the reader will be on a ride of pure enlightenment of a great romantic adventure story ever told. These stories will show that these both science fiction universes have always been one with each other. One might just come to realize that Earth is the center of the universe after all. These wonderful stories are full of enriching human achievements. All one has to do is find the light from within.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;May the Force be with us all as we travel through our imagination one Stargate at a time. I hope we all can find the light within ourselves as each story unfolds.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div style="text-align: center" align="left"&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;p&gt;You will find my stories on my &lt;a href="http://www.fanfiction.net/~bbyahoocom" target="_blank"&gt;Fanfiction Page&lt;/a&gt;.     &lt;br /&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;The stories that I have written and will write came from the heart of my ever most being. Every story is written with close personality of every individual in the story. The first television show that shown me that stories can be written with this closeness of individuality was &amp;#8220;The Six Million Dollar Man.&amp;#8221; The latest show is &amp;#8220;Stargate SG1.&amp;#8221; I strongly believe that we should have more of this type of lifestyle in day to day life. As I see people living their lives on a day-to-day basis, I see less and less community living.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Once upon a time in these United States of America, we use to be a united country. People went out of their way to help one anther. People needs to be like that once more. I strongly believe a lot of problems in this country can be solved by this simple lifestyle. Unity is strength in just about every aspects of life. United in the United States of America means just that. United we stand or united we fall. That is why I believe writing my stories with a strong personality makes a better story. I also believe that my readers will enjoy reading these type stories because they desire this kind of lifestyle.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;From what I understand of all science fiction movies and television shows, the story in itself has a cryptic meaning behind it. In my science fiction stories, I present a cryptic concept to life as well. I have always had a love to inspire others to live their lives to the fullest. By no means does this means that I am setting out to dictate how others should live. All I am doing is to inspire others so that these United States of America can be a united country instead of a divided on as it is today.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;I love to write. I love to share my view points with others without being a jerk about it. By writing my stories with the hopes of a better tomorrow even in a science fiction setting, I am hoping that people can see that there is hope and prosperity if we live the way we should as an individual and as a united people. We do not have to be perfect to have this concept a reality, but we need to think in ways that we have not done in a very long time. Who we are and what we are has to do with how and what we think. Our actions should reflect on how we think, but it is what we think that is so important.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;In my poetry that I have written, they express a true and romantic love towards females. Every one of these poems that have been written by me in single bliss. I am not dating anyone, nor have any one in mind to share any romantic concepts with. I write these poems just the same. These poems are written because of how I personally think about women in general and as the correct and true love I have for myself. &amp;#8220;Love your neighbor as yourself.&amp;#8221; Before we can love our fellow man, we need to have true love for ourselves. That is where proper and mature thinking comes in to play.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;As I make all my stories very enjoyable, I have entered concepts of how life would be if all of us acted in the way we have done over 70 years ago in the United States of America. These simple concepts are again a simple means of inspiring my love for my country and my fellow man. I still see this country as a the greatest country in the world. The problem is simple. We the people of these United States of America needs to grow up mentally. With my love for writing I am simply encouraging people to do just that as well as enjoy what I write.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Breathe deep, seek peace,  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Brandon Bowers  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3405528063231072406-1860624960266594992?l=brandonwritings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3405528063231072406/posts/default/1860624960266594992'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3405528063231072406/posts/default/1860624960266594992'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandonwritings.blogspot.com/2008/03/stories-that-i-have-written-and-will.html' title='My Writings'/><author><name>FraterPhoenix</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03599005182269665500</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eRE1Z-onbmE/TlFqG-457OI/AAAAAAAABBc/x81zRwUdKVc/s220/Crossover%2BSaga.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405528063231072406.post-612475548949664536</id><published>2008-03-17T12:14:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2008-11-07T17:54:07.044-05:00</updated><title type='text'>About Me</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Report for Brandon Dale Bowers, born 22/11/1966.    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your Life Path number is 1.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;The Life Path 1 drive in this life is characterized by individualist desires, independence, and the need for personal attainment. The purpose to be fulfilled on this Life Path is that of becoming independent. This is a two part learning process; first, you must learn to stand on your own two feet and learn not to depend on others. After you are indeed free and independent, you must learn to be a leader. Many of our Generals, corporate leaders, and political leaders are men and women having the Life Path number 1. The 1 always has the potential for greatness as a leader, but they may fail as a follower. Many 1's spend most of their lives shaking off their dependent side. When this happens, there is little time left for enjoying the rewards to be gained through independence. The individual with Life Path 1 has to overcome an environment in which it is very easy to be dependent, and difficult to be independent.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;A person with positive 1 traits abounds in creative inspiration, and possesses the enthusiasm and drive to accomplish a great deal. Your drive and potential for action comes directly from the enormous depth of strength you have. This is both the physical and inner varieties of strength. With this strength comes utter determination and the capability to lead. As a natural leader you have a flair for taking charge of any situation. Highly original, you may have talents as an inventor or innovator of some sort. In any work that you choose, your independent attitude can show through. You have very strong personal needs and desires, and you feel it is always necessary to follow your own convictions. You are ambitious, and either understand or must learn the need for aggressive action to promote yourself. Although you may hide the fact for social reasons, you are highly self-centered and demand to have your way in most circumstances.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;When the 1 Life Path person is not fully developed and expressing the negative side of this number, the demeanor may appear very dependent rather than independent. If you are expressing this negative trait of the number 1, you are likely to be very dissatisfied with your circumstances, and long for self-sufficiency. This is defined as the weak or dependent side of the negative 1 Life Path. On the strong side of this negative curve, the 1 energy can become too self-serving, selfish and egotistical. Over-confidence and impatience mark this individual.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your Expression Number is 1.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;A number 1 Expression denotes the skilled executive with keen administrative capabilities. You must develop the capacity to be a fine leader, sales executive, or promoter. You have the tools to become an original person with a creative approach to problem solving, and a penchant for initiating action. Someone may have to follow behind you to handle the details, but you know how to get things going and make things happen. You have a good mind and the ability to use it for your advancement. Because of these factors, you have much potential for achievement and financial rewards. Frequently, this expression belongs to one running a business or striving to achieve a level of accomplishment on ones talents and efforts. You have little need for much supervision, preferring to act on your own with little restraint. You are both ambitious and determined. Self-confident and self-reliant must be yours, as you develop a strong unyielding will and the courage of your convictions.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Although you fear loneliness, you want to be left alone. You fear routine and being in a rut. You often jump the gun because you are afraid of being left behind.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;The negative attributes of the 1 Expression are egotism and a self-centered approach to life. This is an aggressive number and if it is over-emphasized it is very hard to live with. You do not have to be overly aggressive to fulfill your destiny. The 1 has a natural instinct to dominate and to be the boss; adhering to the concept of being number One. Again, you do not have to dominate and destroy in order to lead and manage.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Pinnacles and Challenges     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;The pinnacles and challenges in your life show your response to your environment during the period of time that these influences are in effect. The timing of pinnacles and challenges are simultaneous, and mark the four phases of your life. The pinnacle number is usually considered a benevolent force, while the challenge number is just that, a challenge during those years.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;The first Pinnacle...6     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;As a young person you are likely to find much duty and responsibility related to home and family. There may be strong feelings of limitations because of these pressures. Ill-advised marriages at an early age sometimes occur. It is a period for you to attend to the demands made on you for family and close friends rather than self. Often, the six pinnacle suggests a person who is under the close dictates of a parent or of some authority figure.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Second Pinnacle...8     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;During this period of your life you are apt to become very deeply involved with being a executive (or perhaps being married to one). You will begin to rely more on rational feelings and less on emotional impulses. You are more ambitious and success oriented.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Third Pinnacle...5     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;With the number 5 pinnacle coming in mid-life, your ability to progress and achieve in may be linked to your ability to function comfortably in a fluctuating environment. Your ability to adapt is very critical. The sense of freedom that you have now is very significant. The caution here is not to burn too many bridges because of your urge for freedom, travel, and adventure. You may need that job (or family) later on.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Fourth Pinnacle...6     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;As a last pinnacle, the 6 brings home the rewards and pleasures of family, security, and a close circle of friends. You are likely to find yourself giving back some of the nurturing and attention that you received in the early part of your life.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your first challenge, starting at birth and lasting until age 35 is a number 2. The challenge of the number 2 suggests you are likely to be extremely sensitive and more or less brimming with feeling. You find it hard to work with people because your are afraid of being criticized or, worse yet, ignored. You have a good deal of self-doubt and a definite lack of self confidence. There is a tendency to constantly worry about the opinion that others have of you. There is likewise a tendency to use this sensitivity in a negative way. Used more positively, your keen sensitivities can be a significant strength, allowing you to be acutely aware of so much of with others rarely perceive. But during this period it will be hard for you to assert yourself and make decisions. You will shy away from positions of authority and responsibility. This can be a time for accumulation of wisdom, as you show patience and pay close attention to detail. Try not to take things too personally. Friendships are a source of deep satisfaction to you during this time. Respect your ability to compromise and grow in a quiet way. Do not let details overwhelm you and keep you from seeing the big picture. Plan for slow growth rather than immediate gain.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your second challenge, starts the following year and lasts until age 44 is a number 0. The obstacles life during this period may not be many, or they may be coming from all directions. The challenge of the number 0 is called the challenge of choice. You are likely to have difficulty acting on your preferences. You are perfectly capable of analyzing a situation and realistically comparing possible solutions. The challenge of 0 may make bring this decision to requisite action very difficult for you. To overcome the challenge, it should be understood that you must have the faith in your own abilities to the extent that you can analyze, make a choice, then act with ease and comfort. This challenge is one that is normally found on in a highly evolved individual and an individual who can be expected to make their own decisions about life and know where the pitfalls lie. To meet the challenge of 0 you must have control of all of the numbers. You will need the independence of 1, the diplomacy of 2, the optimism of 3, the application of 4, the understanding of 5, the adjustment of 6, the wisdom of the 7, the constructive power of 8, the universal service of 9. In other words, to meet the challenge of 0 in your life, you must be a very gifted person.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your third challenge, starts the next year and lasts until age 53 is a number 2. The challenge of the number 2 suggests you are likely to be extremely sensitive and more or less brimming with feeling. You find it hard to work with people because your are afraid of being criticized or, worse yet, ignored. You have a good deal of self-doubt and a definite lack of self confidence. There is a tendency to constantly worry about the opinion that others have of you. There is likewise a tendency to use this sensitivity in a negative way.

I was born on November 22, 1966 in Alexander City, Alabama. I have just graduated from Lanier Technical College at the end of Spring Quarter 2006. I have a certificate in PC Operations, three diplomas in Microcomputer Specialist, Computer Networking, and Web Page Design. Thanks to my Time Life Book Series, &amp;#8220;Understanding Computer.&amp;#8221; I have been fascinated with the history of how we got the computer technologies we have. I strongly believe that understanding the history of anything is very important.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;With computers I have found out how important it is to know the history of it. I have recently found out that the technologies that we have is due to the entrepreneurship of the ones that gave us it from World War II to this day. It always amazes me the wonders of mankind. Even with our technologies, we still cannot fully understand how the ancient Egyptians created the pyramids. What a marvel achievement. There are many other marvels of man throughout history.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;In this blog, I have decided to present my skills not only in a web page designer, but my skills in writing. Just about anyone can write, but to be creative about it is a different manner. From websites like http://www.fanfiction.net and http://www.fictionpress.com has shown that there are a lot writers out there. It is not known what percentage of them have published anything, but it for certain that they love to write. It would be great if I could publish my work, but if I do not, I would still write and post them online so others can read what I write.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;As I write my stories, poems, and blogs, I can express myself to future employers. The only thing that most employers read is a resume. That really does not say anything about the individual that is on the resume. If I was going to hire an entry level individual, I would want to know about the character of that person? Is the person honest. Will the person show vigor on the job? These type questions are not on a resume, nor on a job application. My blogs will show two important things: my skills in writing and who I am by how I write.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Writing a full link story is not easy. By writing a great story and completing it with less errors then from the first draft, I can show my determination and means of wanting to complete what I have started. Human Resource and any employer can learn a great deal about who I am and what I can do just by reading my stories, poetry, blogs, and anything else that I write and posted online. I put a great deal of who I am on what I write. I even entered myself in my stories, so I can have the same fun and adventures as everyone else in the story.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;This is MY Free Numerology Reading     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;This reading is based on &amp;#8212;     &lt;br /&gt;Birth Name: Brandon Dale Bowers     &lt;br /&gt;Birth Date: 11/22/1966 (November 22, 1966)     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your Inner or Soul's Urge: This is spiritual and emotional expression more than physical. It is your heart-felt desires, your incentive, how you look at life. Here are your areas of personal satisfaction.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Number: 6     &lt;br /&gt;You desire responsibility, steadfast love, a harmonious home, domesticity, and maintaining long-standing family traditions. The perfect environment for you has ease, comfort, beauty, music, and harmony.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;You empathize with those who, through no fault of their own, are suffering. You are sympathetic to the needs of humanity. If you knew how, you would correct all injustice as a cosmic parent or guardian would. You have a good sense of loyalty and are a natural counselor.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;You are artistic, kind, understanding, inclined toward conventionality but broad-minded. When your emotions aren't too involved, you are a fine judge of character.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your life can be richer if you cultivate firmness and assertiveness to better balance your emotions and sense of justice, and realize that others have their own valid points of view.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your Personality: This is physical expression more than spiritual or emotional; your outer self, the way you express when meeting others. It may or may not be the real you.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Number: 4     &lt;br /&gt;Others tend to see you as loyal, dedicated, dignified, and honest with a desire to perform the work at hand instead of taking a lot of time for fun and pleasure. You seem to be thrifty, prudent, and orderly.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;If you focus overly much on work, others tend to see you as someone in a rut and unable to change habits.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your self-image can suffer if you do not receive compensation or praise, at least recognition, for your labors.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;The practical aspects of your personality can be enhanced by wearing tailor-made clothing of straight lines and good material, neat rather than showy.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your Quiescent Self: Stripping away all outside influences, aspirations, ambitions, &amp;quot;shoulds&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;shouldn'ts&amp;quot; -- this is you when you are alone; just you and your dreams..     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Number: 4     &lt;br /&gt;Family, society, country, and civilization are better off because of your tireless efforts and meticulous attention to detail. You are the pillar of society. A staunch patriot. Your rewards are accomplishment, duty, Love, and appreciation.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your thoughts and pleasure are the creation of firm foundations upon which family and society as a whole can prosper.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your Destiny or Ultimate Goal: This is your desired lifetime accomplishment. It is a key to a useful and happy life, and to feeling fulfillment during your latter days.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Number: 1     &lt;br /&gt;Your destiny is leadership. You come to this position through your own actions. Not by aggressive or dominant behavior, but by relying on your own inner strength, self-reliance, and determination. Your originality and your initiative can put you in a place of authority or leadership during your lifetime.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;You have a healthy respect for individuality. You are innovative, and are often asked to lead, direct, and manage the affairs of people and organizations. When you have specifically defined and visualized goals, your powers of concentration and focus allow you to achieve them quickly and fully. You are happiest in the role of pioneer, explorer, creator, inventor, leader, director, chief executive, owner of any business, or editor of any periodical publication.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;You wish to be left unhampered to carry out your own ideas.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your Life's Path: Here are clues to what fate has in store for you. It indicates the type of encounters, events, and opportunities you are likely to experience along your physical life path.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Number: 1     &lt;br /&gt;Your path is along the lines of expressing self-reliance, individuality, and the proper expression of will.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;You may have been born into a family with domineering, interfering, or unyielding parents. Be that as it may, there probably was tension and conflict of will during your growing up years.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your life is strewn with challenges and opportunities to express your will, your independence, and your initiative.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;You are a leader, strongly individualized, and demand the right to think and act according to your own ideas and convictions. Originality, invention, will power, and courage are native to you. You have keen perception and good concentration.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Be wary of any tendency to start a project, then becoming bored with it and starting a new project before completing the first. Develop your body, mind, and spirit to the highest point of efficiency. Refuse limitations. Cooperate without losing your individuality.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;You seem to complete tasks better when left alone. Promotion to positions of leadership come easier to you than to some people, especially if you make yourself invaluable wherever you find yourself. Ambition is a significant driving force.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;This Year's Path: Here is what you are likely to encounter this year -- your feelings, your predominant perspective, and the type of situations, circumstances, and opportunities you tend to attract during the calendar year.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Number: 6     &lt;br /&gt;This is a year of service for you, a duty year. You feel you're assuming new responsibilities. People make more demands of you this year. You are needed in many directions.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Warmth and good will toward others, along with love and harmony, will make everything worthwhile. Justice, fair play, and honesty are important. It is a year for unselfish service.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Take care of your health because without it you cannot help others. Find time for rest and relaxation. This is a year to be thorough and conscientious about everything that you do.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;It is a year of fine and friendly influence for marriage, tranquil home conditions, and traditional family activities. You may feel a strong desire to get settled.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Next Year's Path.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Number: 7     &lt;br /&gt;This is your year for personal reflection and perfection, a year of introspection. You feel like analyzing everything you have been and are doing. You think about beauty, love, perfection, and what life is all about.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;You spend a good deal of time alone, getting acquainted with yourself and your new inner power. This year you gain a better understanding of your emotions and your spiritual nature. Take time out to rest, study, read, and travel, and to look at life from a different angle. Find outlets for personal creative expression.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;If you have psychic, spiritual, new age, or mystic interests, this is the year to pursue those studies.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Quality is your standard.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Last Year's Path.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Number: 5     &lt;br /&gt;This is a year of change for you, a year to get out of the rut. Your opportunities are found outside ordinary routine. New opportunities and new conditions are manifesting (some may appear unexpectedly) -- new relationships, new ideas, new contacts, new enterprises, new plans -- more freedom, more variety, more travel -- broader fields of interest and activity.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;It is a year of new experiences -- change, growth, fun, freedom. You feel an inner push to go do something, anything, so long as it's a new experience. You notice more opportunities to travel. It is time to take advantage of the prevailing atmosphere of change and variety to learn something new. The year adds new life and color to your undertakings.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;The changes can be thrilling and inspiring. Now is the time to take advantage of the enhanced sense of freedom you feel and create new outlets for your genius. It is also a time to let older people and children inspire you.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;If you have a business, you may wish to advertise more than usual, possibly presenting your business with a new, even unique, angle.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;And there is more.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Much more!     &lt;br /&gt;The above is a basic numerology reading. But there are many more aspects that haven't been covered.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Examples: lucky numbers, power number, the essences, challenges, pinnacles.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Your journey may have only just begun.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;**********     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;There are two major things that makes a person. That is &amp;#8220;humility&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;integrity.&amp;#8221; With these two one can become just about anything they want. It takes hard work, but with these two important aspects, it can make a great difference.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Who I am is based on these two important concepts. I am also a person that constantly working hard to better myself. Another words, I think out side the box. Once in life you understand what authority means and how to live under it, then you can start to think outside the box and live outside the box. To get a career job in anything, one must understand the concept of &amp;#8220;thinking outside of the box.&amp;#8221; In a dead end job, you cannot go that much further from the point you were trained to the next five years.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;This has to do with that &amp;#8220;thinking outside of the box&amp;#8221; has not purpose. This does not mean that one should not work in just jobs, but it does state what kind of a life one wants. If you want a job that you can build yourself with, then a dead end job is not for you. Only a career job can fulfill a purpose and grow within that job. To get these type jobs, one must have the proper &amp;#8220;post secondary&amp;#8221; education. From their it is up to the student to take it from there.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;This mean that one needs to almost be an entrepreneur for one's life. In general, an entrepreneur is one that takes the necessary risk to go forward in life. In the children education cartoon, &amp;#8220;Magic School Bus,&amp;#8221; Miss Frizzle usually states this in each episode, &amp;#8220;Take chances, get messy, make mistakes, and learn.&amp;#8221; No one can grow in life if they take the     &lt;br /&gt;&amp;#8220;easy way&amp;#8221; of doing things.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;I have been reading the history of today's technologies. If it was not for the computer hackers in the 1980s, we would not have the technologies we have today. It is them that made the computer turn to be great tools to use. The original inventors did not come up with the means of using their products as much as the hackers did. There is a great show of the importance of teamwork. We all must work together to the fullness of the job at hand.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;It took these entrepreneurs to invent these computers from nearly from nothing and turn it into a tool so that everyone could use. At the time of the invention of the first personal computer, there was no software to run on these computers. It was the hackers that opened that door. It is the users of these software that allowed the improvements and the growth of future developments. If the customers do not want to buy the product, then what good is it?     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Even with knowing what to create next, it still takes risk and hard work to get design either and upgrade of what was or something new. An entrepreneur is a person that does not then take risk. These people thinks outside of the box. If a business wants employees to only follow the rules, then they can simply use machines instead of employees. Any business needs employees. To succeed in the business as hand, the employees needs to be able to follow the rules to get order and discipline, but they must know when to not follow the rules, and think for themselves.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;I personally rather be beaten every inch of my life then to live like a mindless individual. If one looks at it, one cannot be an individual if others are thinking for him. To rightfully think is to take the initiative to fulfill the thoughts one has. It is true, &amp;#8220;every action has an opposite reaction.&amp;#8221; If there is no thinking, then there is no positive action. The two must coexist to allow proper results. In a business and in life as a whole, there must be a teamwork atmosphere. We are meant to live alone.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Surely by seeing there are over 6 billion people on the planet, can see that we must work together to accomplish things in life. There are thousands of employees that work on the website, http://www.amazon.com. No one person could do it all. It also takes a good many if not all these employees to keep making their business constantly having new and their old customers come back and buy more.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;As for me as an individual, I thrive to better myself. I would never want to know it all. That would be very boring to me. I love to take the challenge in learning. I have many RSS Live Feeds on many subject because I love to learn and better myself. The more I learn, the more I am humbled by life itself. Life is all around us. Learning about Earth's history and human history has shown how important it is to go forward in life. I am able to use a computer to create this website, blogs, and many other things that I might not been able to do 10 years ago.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;After eight years of going to Lanier Technical College in Oakwood, Georgia, I have learned a great deal about computers and how to use them. Now that I am finished, I can now turn the first page of my life in the computer field. Even though I have learned a great deal, I know that I have a great deal more to learn. With the fast growing of technology, I also need to keep up with it. I have to say that with all that technology can do, I am ready to get a career job under this wonderful field.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;If I graduated 6 years ago, I would not be able know about today's understand of how computers work. A great deal has changed in the past 5 years less alone since the first PCs came out which was in 1977 with Commodore Pet, Apple II, and Radio Shack TSR-80. Now I can really fulfill who I am, and how I think with how technologies operate. It will be exciting for me to see what will happen next.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Computers are not the only things I can do. I have written poetry, stories, and blogs. None of my stories and poetry have been published, but I do have them online for all to read free of charge. It would be nice to be able to publish what I write, but right now I am having great joy in simply writing them. If I never able to publish what I write, then I will be content to constantly write and have others to read what I write.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;My life does not stop there. I am an avid collector of many things. I collect stamps, coins, non-sport trading cards, and I am an avid reader. To me the best vacation is to simply read a great story. There is not luggage to be lost, no delay flights or anything that troubles others while on a vacation. The only cost will be the book itself. I am an armature photographer. I use this skill to help me put great photos on my websites when needed.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;In what I have learned, I try to enlighten others to live their lives to the fullest. How ever they want to live is up to them. All I want is to give them that opportunity to fulfill their own dreams and desires in the best way they can. That is why so many have created the technologies that we have, so we can better ourselves. These technologies do not think for us, but they do help us with certain task so we can spend more time in thinking and creating on what we are doing. There is no fear that computers will out do humanity or replace us. As long as we are the ones that are creating them, or even using them, technology can never replace humanity.     &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;In that I will close with this thought: constantly thrive for perfection. One cannot be perfect, but mankind can constantly take steps toward it. In James Gurney's novel, &amp;#8220;Dinotopia,&amp;#8221; he has written this that we all should reflect in our lives, &amp;#8220;On raindrop raises the sea.&amp;#8221; The more we put into our own lives, the better we can become. If we can do that with humility and integrity, then we can raise our lives to something grand. I say to you as all Dinotopians say, &amp;#8220;Breathe deep, seek peace.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;An it harm none, do as thou wilt    &lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;Brandon Dale Bowers&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3405528063231072406-612475548949664536?l=brandonwritings.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3405528063231072406/posts/default/612475548949664536'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3405528063231072406/posts/default/612475548949664536'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://brandonwritings.blogspot.com/2008/03/about-me.html' title='About Me'/><author><name>FraterPhoenix</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03599005182269665500</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eRE1Z-onbmE/TlFqG-457OI/AAAAAAAABBc/x81zRwUdKVc/s220/Crossover%2BSaga.jpg'/></author></entry></feed>
