Hello Dragons!

Hey Dragons!

I am going to keep all of you Dragons"in the know" with all of the crazy funny stories that happen over here in the entertainment industry. I know that most of the movie stars and tv stars of today are pretty lame, but at least most of them will give you a good chuckle.

This story does not involve any movie stars, but it will still entertain all of you guys.

A couple of days ago a lady from Iowa reported to the Iowa Department of Public Health that she had a bat in her house. Not being too worried about it, that night the lady set her automatic coffee maker for the morning and the next morning she woke up and started her day as usual with a fresh pot of coffee. She drank a few cups and went about her normal day. That night when she came home andcleaned her coffee pot, she found the bat in the coffee filter!!

Now I don't know about you guys, but all I can think about is how the heck did that bat get into the coffee filter!? The woman is being tested for rabies and obviously the bat didn't make it.
All I know is, I'm checking my coffee filter every morning now before I even think about touching a cup of coffee!

Crazy story!

Thank you Dragons!

Tonight in class, we talked about what the "message" might be in our film project. As we walked through all of the family moments we wanted to capture and share with the men and women in the 1-4 ARB, the personal sacrifices became very real to me. So if any of you from the Dragon Battalion who are stationed in Iraq are keeping up with our blogs, I just wanted to say thank you for all that you give up to protect our freedom and our way of life.

Just an introduction

Hello, this is Saad, an international student at Texas State University. I am from Bangladesh. Also like to add that I graduate in Spring 2009. I am really excited that I will be graduating next semester. This semester has given me anopportunity to do something I have not done before (make a movie). So looking forward to that and hope to do a good job at it.

I hadn't thought about continuing this after the semester, but as Ed suggested, that's a terrific idea. I'm looking forward to working on something to reach out to our troops and getting to know their families here in the area.

See you all later tonight in class.

Hi Everyone...

Ed here... I'm really excited about this project! As a Navy Veteran, I'm really glad we are supporting our troops out there and we have one adopted for the Fall semester. I hope we can continue this blog after the semester is completed.

I also wanted to send my brother-in-law, Joe Saenz, US Navy, who will be sent to Iraq sometime next week!!!! Go Navy!!!!

Hey Guys -

Video editing challenges aside, I'm really excited about this project and working with the families at Ft. Hood to create something wonderful for the troops for the holidays!

Let the fun begin!

Hi all!

We are finally starting our blog for our class regarding our exciting task this semester of making a "documentary" for a loving troop over seas. I, as well as the rest of my group, are extremely ready to start and learn as much as we can to make a great finished project for the hardworking troop to show them just how much their family and friends are backing them and so proud of what they are doing, as well as how they remember them everyday even if they aren't sitting right next to them.
