The Star Spangled Banner and several associated situations and thoughts

Today at the #Georgetown rally I spoke with David of the American Liberties group who said he heard me sing the #NationalAnthem of The #StarSpangledBanner after asked to by Marcia in #Austin which while and after recuperating from the weekend events and thinking about the words said as well as the words of The Star Spangled Banner By: #FrancisScottKey, my thoughts have been going as they have. To evaluate such in an admittedly semi-overtly elaborate way, I will break down the process. Admittedly my thoughts about the lyrics of the song have been going for quite some time not only because of the fact of the song being the national anthem and enjoying such, thought also in some ways hearing such has triggered a few different thoughts in reference to the aspects of.

Beginning with the timeline referencing: Francis + Scott + Key

First in reference to the author of the song there was an individual I met a few years ago who had brought up photography when speaking with him and another female I met years before then who had known about at the time of during the second and final separation prior to who also explained how she had been raised in a #Catholic upbringing, along with the #FloridaKeys in which the USS/USNS #Vandenberg had been taken out of the port area for the #SCUBADivers I had gone with for the trip when I had landed at the bottom of the ocean next to the naval vessel to take the pictures I had when down in the area of. Such may be considered as a stretch of the imagination however, it is my thoughts which are as they are. As my first performance after my Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury had been to a big band version of the Star Spangled Banner performed by #TheDenverMileHighClub in 2009 at the #Halloween event in #SanAntonio #Texas called The Uniform Fetish Ball which had been because of not only the theme of the event for the time, though also because I learned as I was told prior to my Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury I had not been shy nor scared of being in front of crowds to speak previously; though I had not jumped at any time to be in the front of the group and pretty much stayed to the back, if called upon there was a point which I could do so and somehow shined. It took me over a 2 years to force myself to get in front to overcome being pulled onto the stage to speak and fail doing so, though I also did not have the words for the zapping pain which came from the microphone in my face at the time of. I thought that was just because of being nervous, though in #Washington state I learned that was because of the problems I have with electronics after my Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury.

I chose the National Anthem version of for my dance performance not only because of the theme for the event though also in regards of my thoughts in reference to my rights guaranteed by the #Constitution of which many individuals who have worn the uniforms, of the #UnitedStatesofAmerica's #ArmedForces branches and fought for such rights. Hence my reasons to wear versions of the uniforms as I had for such, and admittedly my makeup design with the outfits of the event. Though I did not know I would be required to speak after dancing which I did not speak at as I was not informed of such prior to going on the stage, also again not knowing of the zapping feeling being involved with my problems with the electrical aspects at the time. It would not be for another several years until 2018 or 2019 of learning what the words were, in reference to the electrical portions of the problems for me/myself.

The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics, with explanations thereof:

"Oh, Say can you see

By the dawn's early light

What so proudly, we hail

At the twilights last gleaming"

In some ways in reference to the fact of not being able to tell the exact time of the pictures being taken as well as the fact of the camera I used to take the pictures during my SCUBA Diving trip to the Vandenberg, when the time of the day changed some could possibly notice the portions in reference to the dawn time is when the next day is noticed. Thus the additional portion in reference to the aspects of the lighting due to the location of the Vandenberg itself, the oceanic waters and those who understand the photography differences between when on land in comparison to when in the waters; such could also be noticed within such portions.

"Whose broad stripes, and bright stars

Through the perilous fight

O'er the ramparts we watched

Were so galantry streaming

And the rockets red glare"

Looking at the pictures I took when SCUBA Diving in the area and the amount it took for me to be able to go to the area in conjunction with what it took to sink the Vandenberg including the portions of the fighting which the Vandenberg and her crew had undertaken when on the open waters during various times, such too can be noticed in reference to the lyrics thereof. As some have been able to see the transitions I had gone through not only from the points of when first re-growing up from the after effects of my Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury, though also through the progress through re-re-growing up within the SCUBA Diving community, as well as in reference to the modeling pictures I had modeled for over the years; though also in reference possibly to my writings and journals, throughout various portions of my experiences and opinions thereof from what I had seen/heard/noticed. As the red glare not only from the bombs throughout the battles thereof for the Vandenberg as well as in reference to the portions of the National Anthem from the Revolutionary War of which the church I grew up attending in New Jersey had been used as a hospital during the time of, the fuller culmination of points might be easier to notice at this point.

"The bombs bursting in air"

Whether some refer to the truth bombardments here and there over the times or the actions I had taken or what-have-you, the wifi as well as the cameras as well as the lines for the picking up of the signals are in the air. Also when thinking about the portions of spiritual directions the air is of the thoughts, which is of the eastern quadrant. The Vandenberg was sunken out off of the eastern coast of the United States of America, and the east coast is where I was raised. Though some I have known over the years prior to winding up in Washington state did not like the way I spoke and provided facts as well as the irony of General George Washington having a private latrine behind the church I grew up going to of which the state of Washington carries his last name, the proverbial thoughts can continue onward as at this point I guesstimate I am not the only one who has noticed such.

"Gave proof through the night

That our flag was still there"

This particular portion of the lyrics can be seen two fold, I suppose pun intended in reference to the flag folding aspects. As the American Flag was seen flying that time during the Revolutionary War though also had been one of the sets of pictures I had taken when at the Vandenberg, the American Flag was still waving within the waves of the oceanic waters. If there were those who when hanging the American Flag had wondered whether or not the American Flag would remain let alone move because of the location the Vandenberg was sunken, admittedly when I went SCUBA Diving and dropped downward the American Flag looked similar to when looking at pictures and videos of the House of Congress. The American Flag was hanging off of the area it was attached to, however the waves were not moving the American Flag at the time. It was only after I began my safe ascent had the current began to kick up and began to move the American Flag. I took the pictures I had because of the amazing beauty I saw when surfacing seeing the portions which it just hung there lifelessly upon my descent, though had been given proverbial new life upon my movement upward during my ascent.

"Oh, save us that star bangled banner yet wave"

In conjunction of the portions of which not only the above though also in reference to the aspects of the final picture of the American Flag I had taken during my ascent, in some ways I knew I needed the last pictures of such to be a bit of a reminder of needing to return to the area to ensure myself the American Flag is still there; and while I am fairly certain there are some who may have seen the American Flag when SCUBA Diving in the area above the Vandenberg, the portions of the marine life in the area needing to be looked at further from the timeframe of when I had been there in 2009. As the year is 2020 and the proverbial statement of 20-20 vision, such evaluations of the personal views of both literally and figuratively can be noticed hypothetically not only by me. In such also in reference to those who have wondered though knew deep down pun intended of my inability to tell a lie, the portions of which to repeat the SCUBA Dive while gathering images of in the area of the marine life in addition to the final pictures I took at the time during that SCUBA Dive in my opinion are necessary for the proof not only for the United States of America though also for the world. While I doubt at this point many who are in the know no longer have any doubts of such from the background checks to prove, the ceremonial aspects in some ways I guesstimate for the official aspects are the necessary points.

Ironically the aspects in reference to the performance years ago in some ways referring to the portions of as to why, as well as in reference to being accustomed to being at the back of the group quietly until essentially forcing my way through when it seemed necessary not for performances, though for when mandatory for specific purposes thereof. That is an aspect which some may not have known previously at the times of different events, is when there was a need to take care of certain aspects; that was when I was not shy as it was only when the metaphorical song and dance, had been noticed had been when I had quieted up. During my SCUBA Diving certifications and instructions I had not wanted to ever have to rely upon the ways some I had been told about how they had earned their grades in college had done so, as it is literally called Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.

Thus the self aspect of needing to rely upon during my SCUBA Diving just as my oath to the United States of America's Armed Forces Army branch, I took extremely seriously. Knowing my SCUBA Diving instructors would not always be able to always be with me during each and every individual SCUBA Dive I had gone for, meant I needed to be extremely self-reliant upon when going through such. Though I had noticed several whom admittedly I had been attracted to, I also knew I could not allow myself to be deterred by paying more attention to them than my SCUBA Diving instructionary classes. As I also knew I always needed to be able to safely SCUBA Dive for myself though also to be able to return to my son and my daughter while teaching and showing them not only by my words though also through my actions of, it has been of extreme importance of mine to prove such. The both saw me when I was studying my books and while I would stop working to speak with them and spend time with them beyond cooking food and cleaning up the house, in my own way I was also showing such through both words and actions.

Admittedly after 25 of my SCUBA Diving certifications I had earned between March 2009 through July 2009 I began dating briefly a SCUBA Diving Instructor from another school, at the time when returning to the state of Texas after the Vandenberg SCUBA Dive there was disbelief of landing at the bottom of the ocean at the time when discussing. Though when going for my Cavern SCUBA Diving my Instructor for that class of which others in the class also knew I could not tell a lie because of their prior experiences with me, when they found out of the Vandenberg SCUBA Dive I suppose or guesstimate there had been a bit of confusion in certain regards in reference to how they had not been told of such prior to the trip itself.

I suppose in other regards the current reference to the American Flag when descending safely as well as ascending safely, makes additional correlation points for such. Nonetheless while that particular individual who I had dated had later been shown the class of naval vessels of the Nimitz Class in person, as said to me "It is not though anyone saw you when you went there"; which is only partially true. The MerPeople I took pictures of saw me, though they will not come onto the land to speak with humans in the way known

As I explained to some of the females at the event today, the tattoo artist I had gone to for many tattoos had been in the Navy branch of the Armed Forces for the United States of America prior to going to him for my tattoos. By the time I had requested him to complete my ocean tattoo in the area of my stomach, he had completed 10 of my tattoos before the 11th which is my ocean tattoo. I had sent him several different pictures I had taken from the ocean SCUBA Dives and told him about my SCUBA Diving progress as many of the tattoos were done during my SCUBA Diving training, with the exception of one tattoo which was the first tattoo he had completed for me. As explained after the ocean tattoo, he told me he had to go to Maryland to take care of his daughter; though in 2020 with that proverbial 20-20 vision; I suppose he possibly could have also gone back to the region, to speak with certain Navy guys about knowing I could not lie.

I can joke, maybe a guy who was in the Navy has seen a Navy ship; meaning above the water, though since I emailed him the pictures, also below. The irony is I had him complete the tattoo of the prayer I had created for my son and my daughter one year to help them when they felt the need for calming reassurance, in which the between/below/above is the irony for such as well.

Though I also had a friend in high school which was like a big brother to me, who went into the Navy branch. He too along with his little brother who was in the Navy, might have seen a Navy ship vessel. It is a possibility, hypothetically. Maybe there are a few guys who have been in the Navy, who have seen a Navy ship.

...possibly...it could happen...

Maybe a Navy SEAL has also seen a Navy ship, just possibly; or maybe a Coast Guard guy or a Marine Corps guy as both work with the Navy in the water, has seen one. (Can you feel the sarcasm?)

Nonetheless admittedly later in the years I had dated a male who had been in the Navy branch prior to meeting him during our National Geographic Open Water SCUBA Diving certification, of which I am uncertain if he knew about that particular SCUBA Dive of mine at the Vandenberg when we dated; though I guesstimate if he did not at the time, he may have learned. Possibly since he was in the Navy at one point, he saw a Navy ship too. Technically both above the oceanic waters, as well as the one in the pictures I took when at the Vandenberg.

"O'er the land of the free

And the home, of the brave"

When taking into consideration the feeling when out in the waters SCUBA Diving of the freeness which on land can only be compared to motorcycle driving I suppose or for those who jump out of perfectly good airplanes above the land, such feeling is felt. While the portions of which the freedom which is attained when enjoying such endeavors of SCUBA Diving, there is some required bravery I suppose. Honestly, I did not think about how it could be looked at in such a way not to sound or come across as arrogant. More simply because I knew SCUBA Diving is not something everyone enjoys, for whatever reasons thereof. While the portions of being brave to acknowledge the realities of the various marine life throughout the waters which are far larger than vehicles on the highway which can easily swallow up a full grown human being without chewing, I can see such at this point. However such does not deter me, as it is a simple reality. In my thoughts and knowledge points of, there are many beings throughout the universe which are far larger than human beings which can do similar aspects in reference to swallowing a full grown human being without chewing because of the size comparison. Thus not in a way to come across as arrogant as simply acknowledging the realities thereof, honestly.

Though nonetheless to those who enjoy SCUBA Diving, the oceanic waters do feel like home more-so sometimes than being on land.

Twisted Irony:

The USS/USNS Vandenberg was sunken into the area of the ocean which is the Bermuda Triangle in the Matthias Abyss, and not only just the irony of enjoying the statements quoted and notated from General Jim Mattis as the ai in reverse for the name aspects to spell irony; though the portions in reference to the triangular shape in the ocean, compared to on land. When taking a look at the portions of which my daughter #Letters4Lidia is in the #DFW region of Texas, my son being in the #Washington state area of Texas #Letters4James, and then the aspects of if it is mandatory for me to move to live in the area of #Florida or #Georgia after taking care of certain portions needed in Texas; then the irony not only of such as I gave birth to them, though also a reverse sort of shape on land compared to the oceanic waters.

As a different male had brought up the terminology to my driving across the state of Texas in reference also to my Medal of Honor Art Project across the United States of America of #RoadWarrior, the portion of which to focus upon in reference to the truthful portions of the allegations made and proven against in regards of the 151 Road Warrior situation in #SanAntonio Texas during #Fiesta in San Antonio; that is essentially what I am waiting on word of from, prior to if the need to move is required. As I explained I had told Cactus Jack(a$$) to his face of my thoughts of him sounding similar to a terrorist, I doubt there are many who could truthfully disagree to such choice of words.

As I am adamant about justice, there too are portions of which I am also known to be protective of those whom my loyalty is; and as I have said and written, I have taken my oath seriously, especially in reference to protecting the United States of America and citizens thereof from threats both foreign and domestic. It may be viewed as or considered as overbearing, though the aspects of choosing to remain with integrity and faithfulness while being truthful is something I have stood for long before my Psalm Sunday 2000 head injury.

Thus tying all aspects together of this particular journal blog entry, such at minimum makes sense to me.
