the whole cold war interesting too, and its really cool to see how it affects the world today. like afganistan is a prefect example. the SU, wanted to invade iran, and so they invaded afagnistan first so that iran would have to fight a two front war. teh soviets wanted iran so they would have land access to the indian ocean, that way they could build a base there and have a major navel presence in 3 oceans around the world. the US did want this cause it would gave the soviets a massive stratigic advantage. so they trained and feed weapons into afganistian, to halt the soviet advance. (funny how bin laden was one of those that were trained). anyway so the soviets fought and fought, then eventually after 10 years picked up and left, shortly b4 the collapse of the union. NOW the US is in there fighting the same people they trained, who are now using the weapons left by the soviets.

yeah WWII is really interesting, if anyone has ever seen the history channel movie EIK you'll know how much planing and risk was taken into the invasion. the whole thing was just incredible and i would say hands down was one of the most brillent stratgic moves in the history of war fair. it was a desperate act made in desperate times, and you could see just how desperate is was when they expected such massive loses, i think they estimated a 75% lose rate for all air born infantry, thats 75% of thousands of men droping in.

also yeah jsut looking at hilter is very interesting to see how he rose the power and fell. its not every day you get one man rising to power and lifting his country to a world super power in a matter of 10 years, he may have been a insane, but he was a political mastermind.

Does anyone here like Rap music?

yeah i guess so, but hey kev you sould dl some of immortal techniques songs, you'll like them.

here is one of his verses

Look motherfucker, my words damage an slaughter
a raging alcoholic like the presidents daughters
disgusting flows like third world country tap water
but before I hit the border, someone give me a quarter
cuz I'm a prank call, cop shot just for kicks
payback for everytime that they called me a spit
and Porturigan chicks told me that I fuck like i'm loco
and dominiquin women call me the 'Rompe Todo'
they call me 'Assioso' I'd rather get fired than quit
I get unemployment, you work and we making the same shit
how dare you niggaz critise the way that I spit
you coffee shop revolutionary son of a bitch
but you know what the fuck I think is just pathetic and gay
when niggaz speculate what the fuck 'Pac would say
you don't know shit, about a dead mans perspective
and talking shit will get your neckbone disconnected
disrespected niggaz don't show no love
why you trying to be hardcore, you fucking homo-thug
and don't be sensitive and angry at the shit that I wrote
cuz if you can take a fucking dick, you can take a joke
I choke your friends in front of you, to prove that you fallen off
and you won't do shit about it, like the church during the holocaust
calitsnacortch (?) machine gun flow that I fire
obnoxious untill they shoot me on the day I retire

its from obnoxious.

What you're reading now: EU style

First of all, let me just say that I am a HUGE fan of the EU. With a few exceptions (the Callista Trilogy novels) I find that the novels are better than the Prequals. I also think that the comics are brilliant as well.

As to what I'm reading...

I just finished The Swarm War (book 3 of The Dark Nest Trilogy), and thought it was great. I also enjoyed Dark Lord: The Rise Of Vader

I won't bash anything here (except the SE & the PT - LOL).

I guess you could call me an EU devotee. They just feel like SW to me.

Once again, just my 2 cents


i find my heart lies with this one on this issue.

yeah the EU is very good, the NJO series was by far the most starwars feelin set i have read yet. as one critic said, "the war in the NJO, put the WAR back in Star wars"

hahaha yeah man i love rap, the old skol stuff is awesome, nothing beats tupac and comp, however there is some modern stuff thats awesome. i have to say eminem is brillent, not only are his song good but most of them have intellegent lyrics. groups like the razcals are awesome too. one guy i found he is underground though, is immortal technique. i have to say he is probably one of the best rappers i have ever heard, even when i put him up against tupac, biggie, and dre.

if you want to hear the most fucked up song in your life, listen to dance with the devil by immortal technique. the guy tells a rap story, and the song is brillent, one of the best i have heard, but its graphic like you could never beleive a rap song could be, and when the 4th verse comes your mouth will drop as the story climaxes. listen at your own descreation though, cause that song is really really disturbing, its a great song though. you might ask how a song can be great, and disturbing at the same time well listen to it and you'll know.

another great song by him is harlem streets. some of the most intellegent lyrics you'll ever hear.
