I was put in the Air Corps. I was never educated to serve in the military, but soon my activities in the American Air Corps became very interesting to me.

As many will remember, a respected Army Corps economist filed a whistleblower complaint about the Corps' use of faulty data to justify lock and dam expansion.
We are in a time when the Peace Corps mission is more vital than ever, and the organization is at a 30-year high in the number of volunteers in the field. The Peace Corps is currently in 69 posts and serving 75 countries across the globe.

A Member Of The Corps
He was small for a Marine,
The dying boy there in the bed.
Three times he'd fought off cancer
but now, inside his head,
a serious infection
would claim his life instead.
Cody Green was only twelve.
All his life he'd loved the Corps.
They made him a navigator,
The insignia he wore.
An honorary soldier
A marine in time of war.
The crises was upon him.
He would not win this fight
A fellow member of the Corps
Stood honor guard all night
There would be a flag draped coffin
for this member of the Corps.
Cody Green, a Young Marine
A Marine in time of war..

Au bord du quai
Et qu'importe d'où sont venus ceux qui s'en vont,
S'ils entendent toujours un cri profond
Au carrefour des doutes !
Mon corps est lourd, mon corps est las,
Je veux rester, je ne peux pas ;
L'âpre univers est un tissu de routes
Tramé de vent et de lumière ;
Mieux vaut partir, sans aboutir,
Que de s'asseoir, même vainqueur, le soir,
Devant son oeuvre coutumière,
Avec, en son coeur morne, une vie
Qui cesse de bondir au-delà de la vie.

T'aime Ma Maman
t'aime ma maman
il reste au repos
votre corps, je donne de la terre pour garder
rivières et le vert,
sol autour de vous l'aimez pour refermer reste
Maman de votre corps que je donne à leur
pour nourrir le vert de leur donner des fruits
vous escalader la roche de sable autour de vous
de la beauté qu'ils détiennent.
les rivières et le sang maintenez la touche verte ton
le sol est mon corps que je donne à leur
Je t'aime maman
tu m'as fait apprendre à aimer les arbres verts autour
et je tiens à embrasser toutes les fentes et les fissures de cette terre de beauté
Je tiens à toucher la terre le corps de vous
Je suis dans l'amour
que le sol où vous prendre du repos à la terre mère
et donne des fruits et de la vie de cet homme ridicule
Il en sera de mon amour, et les jours de marcher seul
repose en paix Maman

Warriors Of Ice
Learning the rules of the
Games with atrocity
Living in a prehistoric
Weather with intencity
Armed...Cold weapons in hand
Charged...Mangled corps on the land
The bestials contortions on the pray
Makes me lust to kill'em all every day
Curdled by frost
Too young to rust
Fight...Be wild
Warriors of ice
The hell fighters
Warriors of ice...
Mid way through life, mid way to death
The nomads soldiers fight for the best
Armed...Cold weapons in hand
Charged...Mangled corps on the land
Feel the chill by the polar race
Make the world a disaffected place
Live to die, eye to eye
Raise the chase, face to face
The dirty desperado goes black
At freezing point
Hail stones fall and fall again
Armed...Cold weapons in hand
Charged...Mangled corps on the land
Prisoners of ice wheeze in a sultry weather
This is the fate of the frozen agessors...
Advance thermal killers
They're the barbaric butchers
Unscrupulous
Here they are to abuse
Spitting the barren land
Crushing all til nothing stands
Ready for attack
They gonna shoot you in the back

Ô doux plaisir plein de doux pensement
Ô doux plaisir plein de doux pensement,
Quand la douceur de la douce meslée,
Etreint et joint, l'ame en l'ame mellée,
Le corps au corps accouplé doucement.
Ô douce mort ! ô doux trepassement !
Mon ame alors de grand'joye troublée,
De moy dans toy s'ecoulant a l'emblée,
Puis haut, puis bas, quiert son ravissement.
Quand nous ardentz, Meline, d'amour forte,
Moy d'estre en toy, toy d'en toy tout me prendre,
Par celle part, qui dans toy entre plus,
Tu la reçoys, moy restant masse morte :
Puis vient ta bouche en ma bouche la rendre,
Me ranimant tous mes membres perclus.

For a long time, I really struggled with the idea of being an actor because I really felt that I should be in the Peace Corps.
