Remember that promise?

2009-02-17T19:58:00.000-08:00

Remember that promise that Barack Obama made? The one about ending the war? I fail to see how this helps.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Barack Obama has approved a significant troop increase for Afghanistan, Pentagon officials said Tuesday.

President Obama says al Qaeda threatens American from the Afghan-Pakistani border.

The new troop deployment is expected to include 8,000 Marines from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, as well as 4,000 additional Army troops from Fort Lewis, Washington.

"This increase is necessary to stabilize a deteriorating situation in Afghanistan, which has not received the strategic attention, direction and resources it urgently requires," Obama said in a written statement.

"The Taliban is resurgent in Afghanistan, and al Qaeda supports the insurgency and threatens America from its safe haven along the Pakistani border." See what CNN's Barbara Starr says about the increase on the AC360 blog

Another 5,000 troops will be deployed at a later date to support combat troops, bringing the total to 17,000 the Defense Department said. A senior administration official confirmed the total.

The Obama administration has been conducting several reviews of U.S. policy in Afghanistan, including a review by Gen. David Petraeus, the commander in the region. The president and the Pentagon have been considering a request from the top commander in Afghanistan, Gen. David McKiernan, to send as many as 30,000 additional troops.

Obama said the troop increase in Afghanistan would be made possible in part by the impending troop drawdown in Iraq. View a chart of U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan »

All 17,000 troops announced Tuesday will go to the southern region of the country where Afghanistan borders Pakistan, with the goal mainly being to stop the flow of foreign fighters, according to a U.S. military official with direct knowledge of the deployment and military plans for Afghanistan.

The troops will also train Afghan army units.

The military operations will set up a string of bases and smaller combat outposts, allowing the troops to move around and engage in counterterrorism against foreign fighters and counterinsurgency operations against the Taliban and other local enemies, the official said.

The goal is to have enough troops to "seize and hold" territory and maintain basic security, which hasn't been possible under current troop levels, the official said. The Taliban continues to maintain at least half a dozen safe areas inside Afghanistan, which are prime targets for the U.S. military.

About 38,000 U.S. troops are currently serving in Afghanistan.

The increased troop levels are expected to last three to four years, the military official said.

However, the administration official said there was no clear timeline. "That would prejudge the outcome of the strategic review," the senior administration official said.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said the original mission in Afghanistan was "too broad" and needs to be more "realistic and focused" for the United States to succeed.

"If we set ourselves the objective of creating some sort of central Asian Valhalla over there, we will lose, because nobody in the world has that kind of time, patience and money," Gates said during a recent Senate hearing.

Well, that is an interesting strategy for stopping the war.

Katie tagged me so I guess its going down.

1. I am the fastest reader you have ever meet. I promise you.

2. I have abnormally double jointed thumbs that let me excel at thumb wrestling.

3. I enjoy reading comic books.

4. I read the newspaper ever morning, along with checking CNN.com every time I go on the computer. Lets just say I am up to date on the world.

5. I like shopping online. For anything, and on any site, whether its eBay, american apparel, or urban outfitters. To this day I have bought exactly one thing and that was a N64 game off of eBay.com. It was NHL Hitz 1990.

6. I text message people constantly. Last month I sent 10,000+. The only person I know that beat me in this was Styffe.

7. I write poetry a lot, just I don't show it to a lot of people.

A guy was seated next to a 10-year-old girl on an airplane. Being bored, he turned to the girl and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The girl, who was reading a book, closed it slowly and said to the guy, "What would you like to talk about?"

Oh, I don't know," said the guy. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," she said. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow and a deer all eat the same stuff... grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

The guy thought about it and said, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the girl replied, "Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know crap

"The 5-year-old daughter of contemporary Christian singer-songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman died after being struck by an SUV in the driveway of the family's Nashville-area home late Wednesday afternoon (May 21). Maria Sue Chapman was playing in the area with several other children. Her teenaged brother did not see her in the driveway when he struck her with the Toyota Land Cruiser he was driving. A spokesman for the Tennessee Highway Patrol termed it "a terrible accident" and said no charges are expected to be filed. The child was the youngest in the family and one of three daughters adopted by Chapman and wife Mary Beth. The entire family was home at the time of the accident."

and now we’ve dug ourselves into a hole

we couldn’t escape. I want the days of old

when we were young,

I know we’ve forgiven, and forgotten,

what I just can’t wrap my head around,

is that one fact.

im unperfect,

but you’re there

I just cant get enough

and I cant wait for the rest

im filled with content,

but that’s never enough,

all around me

people ask,

about you,

about me.

that ask why.

the answer?

God

the time is now

2008-04-09T20:43:00.000-07:00

this ones called the time is now

right around the corner,

for all to see

are you blind,

or do you see?

its hear.

the time is now.

to stand up,

and take a stand for what’s right

don’t be invisible.

be the one that stands.

be the one that does do the right thing

no matter the cost.

be the one who everyone knows,

for the right reason,

not the wrong.

be the one.

Last night, Devon and I went to the Sun from Shadow concert at The Vault. Side note: This was the Vaults Last show for a while, or at least until they find a new building.

Line Up:

Bidwell: Not so great. Devon and I thought the lead singer was trippin on something. Plus, their songs were wierd.

Lakes: Wow, for not headlining, I thought they were great. My favorite song was America. It was great

Avner: 2nd headliner, so they were amazing. Best song: Waiting. The lead guitarist had so much energy it was crzy. And, an added bonus, the lead singer was also the bassist.

Sun From Shadow: It was amazing. I can't wait for Giants and Orphans to come out. Best song was....all of them? Yeah, thats about right.

People in attendence (that I knew): David Hughes, Nikki Lalague, Alanna, Jared, Alice, SFS, Mackenzie Lamb, Devons family, Devon, Cody Fields and pretty much the whole HSM band.

Dang. We're are just that cool.

Joun Wooden

2008-03-01T11:37:00.000-08:00

John Wooden was a coach at UCLA (boooo) for a long, long time. As in 27 years as head coach. This is him now.
Hes 97! He retired with a 620-147 record, with at one time, an 88 game winning streak. He recently fell and broke his wrist and collarbone, so pray for him. He is a big Christian, and has wrote numerous books. I really like him, so just pray for him.

Do you Believe in Magic? (Working Title)

2008-02-21T19:27:00.000-08:00

As you can see, this post almost wasn't named "Do you Believe in Magic?". There are others names, but I'll say those later.

As I sat around, finished with homework, finished with soccer, finished with looking at blogs, I thought, W.W.C.D.? Now, I know what you're saying. "But Tyler, isin't it W.W.WJ.D.?" No, thats when I'm talking about Jesus, and I'm not talking about him right now. Im talking about Chuck Norris. I realized that, using my Photoshop skills, I could creat and awseome picture. Lo, and Behold, I did. Therefore, I give you:

Tyler Norris

After!
Yeah I went there....

Tyrone Wells

2008-02-18T20:06:00.000-08:00

So theres this guys I like. No, not like that. An artist whose music I like. His name is Tyrone Wells.
He looks like this.

Anyway, my favorite song is Fly, and I think it sounds like something devon/landon would right. Fly
Sittin' in the airport waiting for the plane to come
One man walks, one man runs
Seems to me every burden every care
Is about to slip into the air

Chorus:
Some are eager to go
Some have baggage in toe
Some just cry
I'm not ready to fly fly fly
Everybody says goodbye fly fly fly
We call take flight sometime

Sittin' in the airport waiting for the plane to come
One man regrets everything he's done
So many choices that he made along the way
Leave him alone to face this day

(Chorus)

When my plan comes and I hit the sky
And I start to fly darling don't you cry
When my plan comes I'll be more alive
With heaven in my eyes
We will meet again
Fly fly fly everybody says goodbye
Fly fly fly we all take flight sometime, sometime

agree, disagree? you tell me

Step Up 2

2008-02-15T20:57:00.000-08:00

Went to see it tonight with Bryce, Buff, and Devo. Pretty much the most straight up gangsta movie ever. I so wish I could dance like that. And no, its not a girly movie. Not at all. Ask anyone. Besides my mom

Dodge City

2008-02-10T07:50:00.000-08:00

Devon was pooh....with a speedo

i was just plain awesome

General had a speedo on too

Alex.....he was afraid of the ball

no comment...

So, on Saturaday night, while the girls were going bowling, us real men went to Dodge City. That deserved to be bigger. Anyway, we men played kill ball from like 8:30 until 11 at night, but sadly, the Droopys got second place, thanks to stupid Danny Dixon again. I don't care if I spelled his name wrong. Get over it. But, it was pretty much awesome, and before church, Devon, Buffalo, and I went parkcouring (skateboarding with no skateboard), and got this out of it.

Now, heres some pro parkcour.

That was my night

This is our cgroup

Super Bowl XLII

Okay, so seeing as I hate the Patriots, I predict the Giants bringing an upset with a24-20 win over the Communists. What, I hear you gasping? The Giants over the Patriots? Yes, it is true. If you remember in Week 17 of the regular season, the Giants put pressure on Ol' Farthead (Tom Brady) but only got one sac. If they can jst get through today, along with Toms probable shoulder, they have a good chance for an upsetting win to go down in history. Also, if they keep Randy Moss silenced as a receiver, they have a great chance of winning. Eli Manning can lead them to victory and finally get out of his brothers enormous shadow.

Here are some great pictures, courtesy of Si.com
The Patriots:
Randy Moss:
Tom Brady:

The Giants:
Eli Manning:

So there it is. Final Score:


	24		20

Wow.

2008-02-01T22:39:00.002-08:00

So my Dad and I went to the Spectrum tonight to see U23D. Wow. It was the best movie Ive seen in a long, long time. If you don't believe me, goo see it. So good, its crazy. Heres our reactions.

It was that good. If you can hang out tomorrow, call me at home tomorrow. ON Saturday, cause we can do something then go straight to choir. Bueno!

So theres this kid......(MExico:Behind the Pictures)

2008-01-30T20:28:00.000-08:00

this is him..His names Daniel.

So we were sitting in Carls Jr. and I was telling a story about this time when...well. Ill just tell you the story. A couple weeks ago, in Wildside, they played a song called Love Song as an opener. At the 4:30 service, it was choir, so I decided to dance to it. well, nobody wanted to, and since dev and zach weren't there, I asked some random asain kid to . he said no. then he moved away from me like I had leprosy. After I said that story, bryce turns tome and says, jokingly, was it Daniel? I laughed, then went, HOLY CRAP!!! It was!

SO there, thats why he kept looking at me like I was crazy.

huh

My Sister, the videograpaher

2008-01-30T20:23:00.000-08:00

If you went to HSM this weekend, you would know that, because she spoke and they showed this as an intro. I heard it was awesome. Good job sis!

So I went to Mexico over the weekend with Wildside, and I must admit, I was not as pumped as I usually am, seeing as there were thirty people going on this trip instead of the usual 90 kids. But we got there and BK, 007, Chase and I were all together. Those may be the only people you all know that went. But I took my camera, and got some killer pics. People, prepare to be amazed.... Heres my pictures, along with commentary by me.Chase bought a Lucha Libre mask....enough said

2008-01-21T20:32:00.000-08:00

So, Wildside and HSM started an new series this past week called Scarred: Life Hurts, God Heals. In Wildside, they played one of my favorite Hillsong United Songs called
"All I need is You"
here are the lyrics, along with the video.

All I Need Is You

Left my fear by the side of the road hear You speak
Won't let go fall to my knees as I lift my hands to pray
Got every reason to be here again
Father's love that draws me in
And all my eyes wanna see is a glimpse of You
All I need is You...All I need is You
Is you Lord

One more day and it's not the same
Your spirit calls my heart to sing
Drawn to the voice of my Savior once again where would
Where would my soul be without Your Son
Gave His life to save the earth
Rest in the thought that You're watching over me

All I need is You...All I need is You Lord...Is You Lord
All I need is You...All I need is You

You hold the universe
You hold everyone on earth
You hold the universe
You hold...You hold...

they also played Mighty to save, but I'll save that for next time..

ok, a real one

Some people thought it wasn't fair to rip off a cheese poem so , since im not creative, ill make one about one of my favorite snacks.

Mac and cheese

This is a story
about good ole macaroni,
who wasn't very boney,
but felt like he was missing something
So he went to the hissing cheese,
and said
"We should join forces,
but never get multiple divorces.
The cheese replied
"Only if you reside with me,
then I'll take it in stride.
Thus, they were wed,
but much later were ate with bread.
That was the end of the macaroni and cheese.

that is all.
