Wind Turbines in the Sea

The first and only operational Wind Farm in the world.  Located in the Thanet Offshore Wind Farm  off the Kent Coast.  Kent Coast is located near the southern portion of England.  The wind farm is about the size of 4,000 football fields and can power the whole country of Scotland and the Marjority of England.  This is the greatest achievement and advancement in renewable energy source.

Today

Today was a good day. I had a decent day at work, came home to my loving family, and my wonderful and loving girlfriend.  I have realized, my girlfriend realizes, and now my mom knows that I have accepted to certain degree about her terminal illness, but I still not have fully accepted it and I guess that I don't want to.  I don't want to accept because I still think that her having cancer is a bad dream.  So that is all I got to say about that.

Sunday

I know today is monday, but yesterday on Sunday I have learned a most important aspect on life.  No matter where you are at or what time it is somebody close to you is going to end needing medical assistance.  The most important thing that I learned is that Death is the only payment for sins, and that the Lord Jesus Christ made that payment for all of us in the world.  He is only one that died, buried, and risen from the grave.

Allison

The other night after a BBQ Supper at Monroeton Fire Department, my girlfriend Allison asked me why I did not talk about her on The Gentle Giant Express. You know that I could not come up with answer. Without much ado, the first post of to ever mention the real true love of my life Allison. It’s funny how she and I hooked up and started dating. Hahaha, which was a real fun night when we met for the first time, which was at the nursing home where both of our grandparents are at.

Allison’s mother and my mother were the best of friends growing up here in the Monroeton community. So they ran into each other at the nursing home and they were talking about us kids and about how we were doing. My mom told her mom that I was living at home, that I graduated from school, and was single. The only thing that was hampering me was a full-time job. Her mom told my mom about the same thing except that Allison has a full-time job as a School Teacher here in the County. When my mom saw me see told me that I needed to look up her up on Facebook. Well I did, I felt like it was God telling me that I needed to talk to this girl.

Allison has been there for me, she and I have been dating for a little over 8 months and she is the best thing that has ever happened to me. God has blessed me with a beautiful Christian girl that means a lot to me.   I pray that God continues to bless me with her love and friendship.

September 11


September 11, 2001, nine years ago.  That will forever haunt me for the rest of my life.  That affected every human being in some way fashion or another.  I remember where I was that fateful day.  My Great-Aunt had just passed away and I was helping my brother mow my grandmaw's yard. I had just came home and turned the tv on to watch whatever what on. Four jetliners were used as missiles that killed right at 3000 people.   I waasn't really paying attention until they said "There's been a somewhat of airplane crash into one of the World Trade Center Towers then they say we are gettting reports that something crashed into the Pentagon." Then I remember watching and seeing the second airplane crash into the second tower, and I was like Oh My God what the hell happened.  I remember seeing people jumping out of the windows to their deaths.  The most haunting thing that I remember is sitting there in the living room and watching the Twin Towers collapse on live tv.  I ran outisde looking up to the Heavens and was looking for Jesus to be there in the sky because I thought it was the end of the world.

On September 11, 2001 the world was changed forever.  America was rushed out of its current era of peacful hope into an era of Terrorism on American soil.  Just about every American never thought that this would ever happen to us and it did.  Now people are living in fear of wondering when will the terrorist act happened.  That is the day that Democracy died and thus that is when Socialism was introduced to America.  It came like a thief in the night.  But that is not why I am here.

I am here to remember the 3,000 people that lost their lives that day.  343 of them were my brothers and sisters doing there job trying to save people and resuce those that were trapped at the top of the towers.  Lets not forget those that lost their lives at the Pentagon and in that Pittsylvania Field.  Flight 77 struck the Pentagon.  The plane did do a lot of damage, but if you look at the areial phot of it you will see that there could have been a lot more damage to the Pentagon.  There is a lot of spectulation about how Flight 77 was able to fly so low and cause so much damage.  These are questions that everybody has wanted to know and will probably never know.

Flight 93 was one of the four jetliners that was overtaken by terrorists on September 11, 2001.  There is a lot of spectulation about this flight.  I believe that the passengers of this flight tried to overtake the hijackers and were about to take over the cockpit when the terrorist's realized it and nose dived the plane in the middle of a field in the middle of nowhere. Everybody wishes they knew what really happened that fateful day, but we are not suppose to know the real truth about it. 


Post 9/11 people have been started to love their country and just about everybody has an american flag.  Please let us not forgot those that laid down their lives so that flag still high in the sky.  Let this tradition continue for we need to continue this morale for this great Country we call America.

I am asking one thing from my loyal readers this September 11, 2010
If you know anybody that is a first responder, Firefighters, police officers, or Emergency Medical Services people, and most importantly our men and women that are overseas fight for our freedom. All I ask is say just a small word of thanks is needed to be said.

What?

What is this that I am feeling tonight? 
Is it tiredness?
Is it that I am becoming the person that I am suppsoe to be?
Is that I am so intune to nature that I can feel it suffer from the pain of the world?
Is it time for a new Job?

I wish that I had the answers, but I don't.

The Prophecy

Looking through the glass of time
Listening to the song of old forgeotten ages
I saw in the past of a prophecy that for told
A legendary hero that would be a link
To the past, present, and future of the human race
No one knows when the legendary hero will,
But the stars are telling another story.

Evil darkness returning to land,
Covering it in a blanket of
Jealousy, Power, Greed,
Returning to the hearts of men.
An unspeakable dark force rises against the royal family.
The unspeakable evil searches land for the sacred treasure of the land.

The Sages of Time pray that the legendary hero of time
Will come soon to save the world, 
The Royal family from the unspeakable evil,
And protect the sacred treasure that the royal family hides.

Metroid Review

Metroid: Other M Review

Right now I am still playing one the greatest games of the Metroid Series.  This game takes place right after Super Metroid and before Metroid Fusion.  The Beginning CG shows Samus Aran fighting Mother Brain on planet Zebes and the destruction of "Baby Metroid".  Sometime passes do not know how much time has passed, but you get this distress call from a Research Facility called the BOTTLE SHIP.  When arrive there you see another ship there in the hanger.  Samus realizes that she is not only one that responded to the distress signal.  She realizes its the Galatic Federation Unit that she once belong to before she became a bad ass Bounty Hunter.  Adam Malkovich was Samus Commander when she was in the Galatic Federation, throughout the game Samus takes orders from the Commander Malkovich and throughout her mission she meets up with other members of the unit. I don't want to spoil the game or the story.   You have to play to see what I am talking about, but you do see some interesting things about Samus Aran's past.  You do meet up with an arch enemy of Samus', but I am not going to spoil that for you.
Story: Its a very interesting one that brings a lot to light and we found out some her trouble past. 10/10
Graphics: The CG of game is out of this world, very good graphics 10/10
Longvity of Game: Its about 13 hours long nothing like the Metroid Prime games 8/10
Gameplay:  Its like the side scrolling games from the olden days (which is awesome), and there are times you have to switch to
first-person mode which is okay 9.5/10
Replayability: Once you play it and get all 100 % of items its nothing more to it, but remember Super Metroid was the same way, but I love it so much I think that I had beaten that game in just about 2 hours and 5 minutes.  6/10
Recommend:  That is a hell yes and a must play for all Metroid lovers and fans.

This review is my own opinion --Steven Glaspie
