            <description><![CDATA[So, it's day 1 of 11 for project 'record 10 Songs N 10 Days Africa' in 11 days with producer and friend, Andy Hunt.  Make sense?<br /><br />Breakfast was at Pied Piper Eatery and it was delish!  2 eggs over medium, hashbrowns with ketchup, sausage patties, wheat toast with butter and grape jelly and of course coffee with cream and sugar.  Yum is right!<br /><br />We're at Wide Studios (<a href="http://www.myspace.com/andyhunt">http://www.myspace.com/andyhunt</a>) and today is 'get more organized day'.  Melodies are floating around this studio like crazy!  Oh and tonight is the HeyPenny show that I want to catch at Exit/In - they're my new favorite band (<a href="http://www.HeyPenny.com">http://www.HeyPenny.com</a>).<br /><br />Stay tuned...Matt Thien]]></description>

            <title>Would I be kicked out of NROTC Atlanta for physical fitness?</title>
            <link>http://mattthien.com/news.html#86</link>
            <description><![CDATA[So, I have successfully ran 3 days in a row.  Why you ask?  Well, honestly it's because of my job...hear me out.  I'm an NROTC instructor here in the Atlanta Region (college level) and last Friday, we held some performance review boards (a board held for substandard academic or aptitude performance) for some of our Midshipmen.  As these Mids stood in front of me for not passing the Physical Assessment Test for 2 semesters in a row (they need to run 1.5 miles under 12 min and do push ups and sit ups too) I got to thinking.  Can I pass this test?  Am I kicking someone out of the program for something that I myself can't even do?  So, this got me wanting to lead by example again in the physical fitness area.  Hence the running again...so would I be kicked out of the college NROTC program for physical fitness?  See below...<br /><br />Thursday I did 2 grueling miles in 16 min 20 sec<br />Friday I did 3 miles (forgot to time)<br />Saturday I did 1.5 miles in 12 min 20 sec<br /><br />Yikes...better get running!!!<br /><br />Never mind the fact I'm 29 and the Mids are 19!  I'm going to get 'em!  You just wait.<br /><br />Follow my progress on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/MattThien">http://www.twitter.com/MattThien</a>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[We ALL remember, how could we forget?  It's impossible to erase such images from our minds.  Our minds are powerful weapons and tools to be used for the greater good.  God has a way of turning tragedy into blessing and though we don't know why sometimes or how or when...we may see such blessing, we can rest that others feel the same way.  Like President Obama preached on the campaign trail over and over again..."We must have HOPE!"  The bible tells us to have hope too...Acts 2:26 "Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.mattthien.com/publicfiles/ground-zero-cross.jpg" alt="ground zero cross 9 11" /><br /><br />Let's have hope today for a better tomorrow.  Hope today that people around the world will remember to have hope for us, pray for us and continue to love us in the oneness that only Christ can bring.<br /><br />Remember.]]></description>
