Yeah...woke up at 1330 hours, proceeded to screw around until 1600, when I had a meeting, from there I went to the library and picked up 9 more books, then met Ryan at the campus center and ate pizza.

Then it was time to work on my suff, but I got to playing a combat tactics game, and so my time got eaten away to nothing, and I'm being picked up in a few minutes to go play some Halo. Hopefully I won't get named Caboose again.

Fellas, am I really like Caboose? I always fashioned myself to be more like Sarge or Grif. Wait, yeah, definitely more like Grif. Or is it the other way around? Don't know.

And I forgot to get to Chopper to pick up something to bring. Shit.

Never back. Always forward. FOLLOW ME!!!


Half a league, half a league
Half a league onward.
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

"Forward the Light Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew,
Some one had blundered.
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die.
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them
Cannon to left of them
Cannon in front of them
Volley'd and thunder'd
Storm'd at with shot and shell
Boldly they rode, and well
Into the jaws of Death
Into the mouth of Hell
Rode the six hundred.

Flash'd all their sabres bare,
Flash'd as they turned in air,
Sabring the gunners there.
Charging an army,
While all the world wonder'd.
Plunged in the battery smoke,
Right thro' the line they broke
Cossack and Russian
Reel'd from the sabre-stroke
Shatter'd and sunder'd
Then they rode back, but not,
Not the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them
Cannon to left of them
Cannon behind them
Volley'd and thunder'd
Storm'd at with shot and shell
While horse and hero fell
They that had fought so well
Came thro' the jaws of Death
Back from the mouth of Hell
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild charge they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the charge they made,
Honour the Light Brigade,
Noble six hundred!


Excellent, still from memory. And like any good MI cap trooper, if you give me a task, I'm gonna step up and take a swing at it.
