This story made me cry.

This has been quoted enough, but I feel like quoting it again:

Winston Churchill said 'We shall not fail, we shall not falter. We shall not weary, we shall not tire. Just give us the tools and we’ll finish the job.'"

Hmm..we can only hope that this is true. Kidney stones? Hmm. Sounds painful.

Great..so we're all going to die



Whoo boy, that's uplifting. Oh well. The government can't stop this. The police can't do anything to stop this. No one knows what is going on, and we are totally HELPLESS.

And you know what else?? My archives aren't working again..except the one for July. And I have a canker sore. AND I'm not even sure if that is spelled right!!!!

~sigh~

Anthrax this, and Anthrax that.

Why can't we just have some false hope once in a while? Sheesh. I thought the government was there to lie to us, not tell us the truth.

Nimda Virus Back



So the first time this virus came around, guess what. We got it on our computer. Yeah, that wasn't very much fun. So we upgraded to Internet Explorer 6.0. Well, that's fun enough- a two hour+ download. Bleah. But Internet Explorer 6 is pretty fun, so I'm not complaining.

The first time that this virus came through was around mid-September. I remember how people kept trying to tie it in with the Sept. 11th stuff. (Stuff is too mild a word, but crap seems too inconsiderate.) That was back then, before the whole unending Anthrax saga.

Back on subject- now the virus has come around again. Great. You screw with our people, our buildings, our postal system and our internet. You're screwed if we ever get hold of you. You're more than that, wherever you all are. You're dead. You're gone, you're murdered, you're sacrificed to whatever freaking god anyone has. 'Cause you freaking messed with our way of life, and most of us didn't do a freaking thing to you.

Go here for info. on the new version of the Nimda Virus.

Something Out of a Sci-Fi Novel



It seems like that a lot lately. Well, now they're talking about having us all get ID Cards. I really don't see the good that would do. Course, I really don't see how anyone could have a problem with that. Well, I can..kinda. But I mean, so you have a stupid ID card. Great. It's just one more thing to have to keep up with. What, you want to make us all have implants or something next? This is really turning into a Sci-Fi novel now. Makes me think of that semi-crappy movie, Gattaca. But I don't really feel like getting into that right now, because it brings up the cloning controversy. And I really don't feel like getting into that right now.

Other blogs



I'm not "other blogs." At least, I don't want to be. I want to be myself. Always.

So I was just a bad blogger. I just put up a bunch of links, said "go here"..and left it at that. I figure that I did pretty good yesterday. I mean, if anyone saw the page yesterday, they were probably interested and intrigued. At least that's what I like to think.

Today on the other hand, eh. They'd probably say, "Eh, that's looks just like any other crappy weblog. I think I'll go look at something more interesting, like Metafilter or something. I'm not dissing Metafilter or anything. Metafilter is good. But today, I think I didn't do so hot. Bleah.

Today



I was checking out this web review website most of the time today. They've got some good examples of websites that I consider to be at the bottom of the pile. I submitted my website today. I only hope it gets a good review. In worrying about this, I started to wonder. Did I even put the right website address in? ~eek~

Humorous E-Mail Forwards



Here's part of one I got my math teacher to forward to me after he read it out loud in class.

Q: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for blood pressure?
A: No.
Q: Did you check for breathing?
A: No.
Q: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
A: No.
Q: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
A: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
Q: But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?
A: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere.

Lyrics



So. You want to be a great song writer? You think you're as cool as say, The Backstreet Boys? (Excuse me while I go off to throw up for just saying that The Backstreet Boys are cool.) Well, if you feel like that, you can go here, a lyric generator. Fun.

Mars



A probe has finally reached Mars.

This is pretty cool, especially the last one sorta crashed and burned...literally.

Halloween



Interesting in finding out the origins behind Halloween? Check out this link.

I knew some of that stuff, but not the bit about the Druids burning their sacrificial victims in cages. Ew.

And I didn't know this:

In addition to the souls of the dead alleged to be roaming about, the devil, witches and other assorted monsters and goblins are believed to be at the peak of their supernatural powers.


Frito Lay Has Really Let Me Down This Time



Doritos new flavour, "EXTREME Bold BBQ" is how you say, hmm, gross? The salt and spices are extra thick and extra crunchy. Sounds good, huh? It's too much. It's overwhelming. It's gross.

If I could write down my tears...



....trust me, I would. Heck, I've been down since September..hmm, I wonder why? Right then.

I hate the fact that it seems like a whole lot of people have just moved on. They don't seem to care anymore.

I was watching a movie tonight, "Hook." In the scene with the plane, I couldn't think of anything except Sept. 11th. I kept thinking, "Wow. Just think..back then, they didn't know any of what was coming their way in the year 2001."

Mysterious Space Blast



I was looking at this article about a mysterious "space blast" that happened back in like 1908 or something..(Yeah, I could go back and check, but I'm being lazy right now.) See, what happened was that this space blast, (that they thought might have been some sort of asteroid), came in that day and set fire to these woods out in the middle of nowhere. Reportedly, it created a thin layer of dust in the atmosphere that resulted in enough light to read at night for about two days. Well, I'm not explaining it that great..but you can go there and read it yourself.

It just sort of reminded me of the last Enterprise episode, "Terra Nova." The storyline was that there is this mysterious, supposedly lost colony of Earth's..that they're just now going to try and find out what happened to it.

Spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen it yet..(it aired last Wednesday in the US)

So, they find out that this asteroid hit the colony..or just north of it or something. This created what the Terra Novans called the "poison rains." So they have to go live down in these caves underground..yada, yada, yada. I just think that's sort of creepy. The entire episode was creepy, but then again...that's why I like Enterprise. Space isn't so mapped out yet, and everything is an adventure. That's exciting for me.

Back to what I was saying. Just think what would have happened if the same sorts of chemicals that were in the asteroid that hit Terra Nova in that episode, had hit Earth back in the early 1900's? This one didn't even hurt anyone probably, because the land was sparcely populated. In the episode, the area of high radiation only lasted over part of the northern hemisphere. It was safe down south. Just think how close we all are to destruction..every day. If we're still around, then we must be here for a reason, you think? If not that..then we are all incredibly lucky.

Just went looking



Apparently..our chances of being with with a really bad asteroid are very small.. 1 in 20,000 chance. This article explains it better.

You know..



All I ever do anymore on the internet, is work on my blog. Of course, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think the quality of the posts here are getting better. I'm sort of embarrassed about what the first two months of posts looked like. There wasn't much to to those posts. Sorry. I'm working on that right now.

This looks really cool

I was just checking out my site meter..and found out that October now has had more page views than any other month yet! Yay! Cool, huh?

Halloween



Halloween happens to be my favorite holiday. I'm not sure why. Maybe it appeals to my darker side? Hmm...

This Halloween..we will have a full moon, for the first time in 46 years. =) The next time this is going to happen will be the year 2020. Hmm..I'll be about 36 then.. ~EEK~

Oh great



This is wonderful..just great.

But this is good:
Patriotism is more than waving a flag or supporting the government. Real patriotism demands an unwavering commitment to upholding and defending all of our rights, regardless of any argument of necessity or "national security."

Tis not fair



Nothing's fair. We all know that. Or at least we should.

There are pages, upon pages, upon pages of blogger entries on Sept. 11. Everyone who could tear their eyes away from the TV, ran to Blogger to post..

So we live here. We die here. We're murdered here. We murder here.

This is hell, y'all. And there's no getting away from any of it. No matter hard we try. Either we died on Sept. 11th..or something inside all of us died. It doesn't matter. Our day is coming soon. It's just a matter of time.

Online Friends



It's hard to stay in contact with people over the course of weeks, months, years..

I don't want to talk to people anymore. I just feel like coming on here..and writing and writing and writing some more. I just..something changed in me on Sept. 11th. You know? And I don't know if it was all that bad or not. Something was lost..and I might never get it back. I don't if know if that makes any sense. But it doesn't really have to. I'm just not real sure of stuff nowadays.

We live..we die..we eat. Sometimes..it seems like the night is darker..and the dawn is never coming..

So...



I'm not really that great of a blogger. I mean, if you just check out some of the really good blogs that are around, you can easily see that. I'm not one those blogs where there are lots of news articles or cold hard fact. Well, at least I write in complete sentences most of the time.

I figure there is a wide spectrum of blogs. Blogs like Follow Me Here are at the top of the spectrum. They are really good and are filled with interesting stuff. Not to mention the fact that they are visited about at least about 30 people a day. This is compared with my 4. But I'm more proud of those 4 people than they probably are of their 30. Well maybe.

I think that I am maybe in the middle of the spectrum..I'm not that great of a site, but I'm alright. Right?

Then are the bottom feeders.. hmm..let me find a few..

  1. Blog


Well..I'll find more later. I'm not saying these blog(s) are necessarily bad..they just don't have any substance.

All right...



As I see it..revenge has been the undoing of every major character ever. I'm talking books..movies..whatever.. The evil villain is just about on the verge of winning..when suddenly, he decides to finally get back at whomever has done him wrong. And in changing his/her plans...by letting his/her emotions get in the way of his/her real plans...they lose. They let emotions cloud their judgement..and they lost. And usually it's the villain we're talking about..but maybe, this time...it's the "good guys," so to speak.

Just a thought you might like to ponder.

Once Again..



...my discussion turns to the WTC tragedy.

Who would ever have thought that the American people could care this much? I mean, the American people are often seen and thought of as apathetic idiots. Am I right? Don't answer that. And yet, now we all these people trying to help in all the ways we can possibly help.

We're reacting in other ways of course..Bombing..this supposed War..it doesn't really feel like War..although, I don't really have anything to compare it to. But it really doesn't feel much like war. It feels like revenge. So what? So we suddenly care..hmm..I guess the deaths of what, 5000/6000? people made us get off of our butts and suddenly say.."hey, that's not right. We should do something about that." Or the common response of most.."This totally sucks." Uh huh.

Maybe it's the fact that America is still a rather young country..as most people know. We're not in the infantile stage..I don't think we're even in the teen stage..I think we got out of that around the late 1700's or mid-1800's..

Hmm..maybe we just be described as young adults..we've broken free of the mother (or mother country in this case)..we're out on our own. We're holding a job, paying the rent...yada, yada, yada. We think we're fine...but we're not. We just dealt with something that we couldn't understand..and still are for that matter. So what do we do? We go out and get revenge. Yup, there's that nasty word again. There's only one little thing..we can't call it revenge, because then all those other countries who are Muslim won't like us. What, do you think they like us now? Or is it because revenge doesn't seem to be a very nice way of putting it. We're over our heads here, but we can't admit it. We're supposed to be acting like grownups now..so there. There we go. On one heck of a long path of destruction and mayhem and time wasting..money wasting...freaking..path of war..which is basically nothing other than our old friend: revenge.

So we're screwed, right? Nooooo..of course not. Although it seems like Osama Bin Laden is. If they ever find him of course. Which they probably won't. They could bomb every Arabic country to smithereens..and probably never get him. And even if we did? You know someone would take his place. It's an unending cycle of death..revenge...death...revenge.. see a pattern developing here?

For some reason..this makes me think of that Roald Dahl book..The Witches..

You can kill whatever number of witches or Osama Bin Ladens there are..there's always someone or something that will take their places..evil always exists..just the ways that it manifests itself changes..Satan is always around..Osama Bin Ladens are always around...witches..bugs..

You can't get around it..but you also can't just sit on your butt and let it go on.

We have to do this..maybe if you want to use revenge as your reason..then use it. Personally..I think (this is sort of revenge)..but I think we should do it for the memory of those who died on September 11, 2001.

So I went to this lockout.. ~sigh~

There were (what seemed like), about forty 7th graders..that's 12-13 year olds for you all who don't have 7th grade where you live.

Well..it may have only been about twenty or thirty 7th graders...we had about 50 people altogether. Did I mention that I am 17?

So with all of these little people running around..it wasn't much fun.

We went on a haunted hayride first. Uh huh. It involved stopping at different spots in the woods. This is where people would jump out of the bushes or coffins or whatever, and jump at as and growl a lot..and that was about it. Okay, other than the people with the chainsaws. But the chainsaws didn't have a blade on them or whatever, so they were absolutely harmless. The only problem I had with any of it was the guy who started throwing hay at the end of the ride. I am allergic to that stuff, and within about 5 minutes of it being on me, I started stopping up and getting all sniffly. Argh.

Next we went to the "haunted" corn maze...~rolleyes~.. I actually started up a conversation with one of the people who was trying to scare us. ~sigh~

After that, we went back to the church and had a devotion. A very short one though.

It also involved a ceremony that I can speak about, but not describe..since it is very special and secret. ;) "Oogum, Boogum." Alas, I can speak no more..I have said too much already.

We played a couple of games after that...one of them wasn't much fun because some people cheated. And the other wasn't much fun because it was too easy. (We had played it last year at a smaller place, where it was harder to be found..and scarier).

So I left. I left about 4:30 am. We weren't really doing anything..I wasn't really having any fun..and I couldn't see what we would be able to do for the next 3 hours..w/o me killing someone...

E-Mail



So I got this email from a friend of mine..if you haven't already read it, please feel free to do so.

Sisters in Arms...we know who we are!

Here's the proposal...

Take all American women who are within five years of menopause - train us for a few weeks, outfit us with automatic weapons, grenades, gas masks, moisturizer with SPF30, Prozac, hormones, chocolate, and canned tuna - drop us (parachuted, preferably) across the landscape of Afghanistan, and let us do what comes naturally.

Think about it. Our anger quotient alone, even when doing standard stuff like grocery shopping and paying bills, is formidable enough to make even armed men in turbans tremble.

We've had our children, we would gladly suffer or die to protect them and their future. We'd like to get away from our husbands, if they haven't left already. And for those of us who are single, the prospect of finding a good man with whom to share life is about as likely as being struck by lightning. We have nothing to lose.

We've survived the water diet, the protein diet, the carbohydrate diet, and the grapefruit diet in gyms and saunas across America and never lost a pound. We can easily survive months in the hostile terrain of Afghanistan with no food at all!

We've spent years tracking down our husbands or lovers in bars, hardware stores, or sporting events...finding bin Laden in some cave will be no problem.

Uniting all the warring tribes of Afghanistan in a new government? Oh, please ... we've planned the seating arrangements for in-laws and extended families at Thanksgiving dinners for years ... we understand tribal warfare!

Between us, we've divorced enough husbands to know every trick there is for how they hide, launder, or cover up bank accounts and money sources. We know how to find that money and we know how to seize it ... with or without the government's help!

Let us go and fight. The Taliban hates women. Imagine their terror as we crawl like ants with hot-flashes over their godforsaken terrain.

I'm going to write my Congresswoman. You should, too!

>Catch on fire with enthusiasm and people will come for miles to watch you
>burn.

Anthrax



Okay..anthrax sucks. There, I said it. Now why isn't anyone else saying it?

So.. maybe others are saying it.

Evil and hatred link the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States and the sending of anthrax through the mails, President Bush says.

"Both series of actions are motivated by evil and hate. Both series of actions are meant to disrupt Americans' way of life. Both series of actions are an attack on our homeland. And both series of actions will not stand," the President said in October 24 remarks to employees at a privately owned printing plant in Glen Burnie, Maryland, outside of Baltimore.

"We're learning about terror and evil, and our country is responding forcefully. The American people have got remarkable spirit and remarkable resolve. We are strong, we are united, and we are determined to prevail," he said.


Oh, well that's good. I guess.

From this website...

What is anthrax?

Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Anthrax most commonly occurs in wild and domestic lower vertebrates (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, antelopes, and other herbivores), but it can also occur in humans when they are exposed to infected animals or tissue from infected animals



I don't know about you, but I have been sort of wondering what anthrax really was. Well, I knew what it was, but I didn't understand where all it came from or why it was around.

Mindless spew



They can't take the stars from me
The stars are mine
They can't my soul from me
My soul is mine

They can take my life
They can take my freedom
They can take my security
They can take my country

They can take my hope for the future
They can take my present
They can make me forget my past
But they can't take the stars

The stars are mine.
Twinkling forever.
They can't get those.
They're mine.

They've seen all.
Everything and nothing.
Our ancestors and everything.
Life and the universe.

Stars are forever--
almost.
The stars are mine--
always.

They took our lives.
Our hopes.
Our dreams.
Our foundations.

They took our tears.
They took are feelings.
They took our control.
They scared me.

They scared me--
and continue to scare me.
Every day.
And I can't do anything about it.

I'm helpless.
Everyone's helpless.
We're all helpless.
We're all dead.

To watch our lives unfold.
In horrible tragedies--
one right after another.
Death and chaos reign.

I see it on the news.
We're dead.
We're gone.
We're lost.

Overwhelming despair fills my heart--
our hearts--
our lives--
our dreams.

The stars are mine.
They can't do that.
They can't take that.
That's mine!

Streams bubbling, singing.
Trees growing, believing.
Knowing, learning fish and fowl--
live on, no fear for them.

Fleeing, crying--
giving in.
Dying, death--
falling in--

Great big holes--
where great things once stood
Hellish fires--
burning on.

Anthrax, buildings--
guns and bombs.
science fiction,
all gone wrong.

Whispering breezes.
Whispering people--
talking about sad things--
even me.

Stars twinkle--
cold and clear.
Never gone,
but never really here.

yeah..like I haven't talked enough already



So I'm spending more time on here than before. WELL...I think that might be partly due to the fact that the website that I used to visit a lot has totally gone downhill. Sooooooooo...I don't go there much anymore. And therefore, the time that I used to spend on there is now spent on my blog. The problem that I am having, however, is thinking of interesting things to say. But since when did I care what other people think?

Mindless stuff that you really don't have to read..wait, you really don't have to read any of this..oh well



So I'm listening to Abba..and typing up a review guide..for a friend of mine.

Personally...I don't know about you all, but I really like going back through all the blogs and looking the post for Sept. 11th.. like this one.. he seems nice enough. I haven't read much of the blog yet, just found it. And under his archive for September..you find his words on Sept. 11th. And everybody just went totally numb for a day..at least, in my mind they did.

Sept. 11th..somehow, I always come back to it. Also interesting to read are the blog entries for Sept. 10th..people just talking about normal, boring stuff. With no clue of what was about to come.

My archive for September is not showing up on the main page. It's still in the system, just the link is not. Here it is..I just don't know if I should try rebooting it or whatever..I'm sort of afraid to do that because I'm afraid I'll lose everything. Hmm.. What I think is really freaky is my last post on blogger before Sept. 11th..I was actually talking about another Afghanistan-related event. Freaky.

I like the night air..I start getting really poetic when I walk outside at night..I don't know what it is.

There's something about being surrounded by artificial stuff all day..I just don't like it. I like nature.. Wild..crazy..calm..soothing..uncontrollable.

Book Of The Week



So I think I'll start up a book of the week..just going from my own library, of course.

The Ear, The Eye, and the Arm. It's by Nancy Farmer. I love that book. It's my favorite. I've been reading it for about 5 or 6 years. Okay, so the thing says that this book is meant for kids, ages 9-12..well, sure, I guess. That doesn't mean that it isn't still my favorite book!

I don't think that we should forget what happened on September 11th, 2001. Nor do I think that we should let it control us or conquer us. I don't think we should just move on. But I do think that we need to remember the incident, and keep it with us forever.

Really cool candy



Well..it's not that cool..it's kinda old. Tootsie Roll Pops. MMM... I went looking..they actually have a website. That's good. It's just that I want one now. ~Cries~

~Sigh~


Some people are really screwy. I would put the link to this really freaking awful website that I found on here..but I don't want to have anyone think I am supporting it. Well..yeah, my decision stands. I'll tell you what the summary of the site is though: Rants, Rascism, Sexism, Bullshit, Vulgar Observations, Hateful Remarks, Crude Humor: All in one place. Well, damn it. People are really sick. It's on blogger and the name of it is Inane Lands. You can probably find it if you want to badly enough.

Funny thing is, I know someone like that at my school. He hates me, I don't know why. He creeps me out to no end. I bet that could be him, except for the fact that he says he goes to a different high school. Did I mention this guy is only 15? Good grief... not strong enough words for this butthole.

Hmm


Obviously, I'm not putting a whole lot of thought into these posts...naw, really??? Gee, I hadn't noticed. Hmm.. My stomach's a lot better today..since I'm back on my meds. But mom said that we're going to the doctor, Friday morning..just to have a check up b/c she's worried about me. Yeah, I guess losing 4 lbs. in one day is sort of bad..hmm.

Death is such sweet sorrow



So..I haven't had this bad of stomach problems in a long time.. Which that sentence is totally wrong- grammar-wise, but heck. I seriously could have left in the middle of 1st period I felt so sick..but stupid me. I have too much devotion. I didn't leave because I didn't want to miss band. It's my favorite class. Even when I am sick, I always forget about it when I'm in band because it picks me up so much. So I couldn't miss..you see.

Other blogs


So I sometimes look at the other blogs on the list of most recently updated blogs on the homepage..occasionally. So today I looking and found Lecong..it's good. Look especially at the archive for the week of Sept. 11th.

Sometimes Bad Stuff Happens, And There's Nothing You Can Do About It.



That came to me while I was watching TV. So now I have the urge to watch The Lion King.. something kind of depressing, but with a happy ending. I hope our world has a happy ending.

Maybe I'm falling back into a bad mood..but maybe tonight has been the only time this week that I've been able to sit and think.

So A Year From September 11th..



How will we feel on September 11th, 2002? How will our lives have changed since then? Of those of you whom are American..how will we look back through the past year? Will we think of the days when life was more carefree? Or will it once again be more carefree? Will we all be dead? Or paranoid about every nuance of everyday life? Will we spend the rest of our days looking over our shoulders? Wondering what that abandoned backpack is doing on that street corner? Wondering what's going on when someone looks slightly different or out of place on a plane or train..or even a bus? What is our world going to be like in a year? Two years? Five, ten or fifteen?

I wish I had the answers..but all I have are more questions. And I think that whether we realize it or not..the world we once knew is gone forever.

Separation of Church and State



Right..so I was doing research for this discussion that I have to present in my English class on Friday. I sort of procrastinated a bit, but that's okay. I found this good website/group for it..AU...stands for Americans United. Feel free to check it out.

I'm too tired to write about that right now.. But I might talk about it after I talk about it on Friday.

Anthrax Scares



Alright. So everyone's really freaked out about this. Everyone??? Not me. I'm weird, I know. But I'm honestly not freaked out. And I really don't know why. I mean, it just doesn't really seem real, you know?

But if you would like to post your opinions..feel free too. I've got a better guestbook up now.. Feel free to sign it. Tell me what you think..of anything. Just nothing vulgar..

I think this place is really funny..

I ran across an article about the Fellowship of Christian Cheerleaders..right, exactly.

MB: By the way, how does Jesus tie into cheerleading again?

Rose: We believe Jesus is a part of everything in our lives. We use cheerleading as a vehicle to help the cheerleaders grow in their relationship with the Lord.

MB: Right. So basically what you're saying is that Jesus has nothing to do with cheerleading.

(Long, awkward silence.)

Rose: He has something to do with everything . . . I don't think Jesus was a cheerleader.

MB: I'll quote you on that.



Exactly. I'm a Christian..okay? It's just that..some people really are sort of stupid.

So if you don't mind seeing the F-word a couple of times..I suggest reading this.

Of course..I feel like if you're going to represent your religion, at least know what you're talking about..I'm a Christian wholeheartedly. It just..this is why Christians often get a bad name..because of semi-stupid people who don't know what they're talking about and contradict themselves a lot.

Sheesh


I swear that some people are dumb as dirt. Okay, that sounded harsh. But it's true! I was reading Ann Landers today..well, I think it was today's paper. So there's this lady, right? And she thinks her husband is cheating on her because he went downstairs with a supposedly lame excuse about looking for his wallet. But she said that his wallet was upstairs. So now she's screening his phone calls or something and is thinking about hiring a private inspector/detective/whatever. Blah.

Going a little overboard are we?

Sheesh.

LCH

Yessireebob. Right. I'm glad that whomever is reading my blog..is reading my blog. Because that makes me feel special. ~giggles~ (maniacally?) Hmm..

Anyway..as you may have noticed, we are now over the 400 mark as far as visitation goes. Whoopee! I feel even more special.

It's sort of late

Not really late, but I don't think that I have been getting enough sleep..and as a result, at 10:33 pm at night, my eyes blur over and I get really tired. Huh. Weird.

Sleep is good, I like sleep. I just never have time for it..well..not enough of it. On the weekends..whew. I get about 12 hours at least. Heh. :)

Stupid, piddling stuff

So I should have something to say. Uh huh. Right. Well, I don't. Mostly because I've been avoiding the news. Yup. Sticking w/ the ol' crappy reruns. That's me. Yup.

Anyway...there was this really gorgeous sunset tonight. We were all trying to decide what it looked like or how you could reproduce it. It looked like sort of like cotton candy glued to the sky.. in big, puffs of pink and blue.

FF

On a completely different note.. my website that I always visit has just made a drastic upgrade. Awful, I should say. Nothing works, everything looks wacky and I can't hardly ever get in there. Grr.

This also means that I have change all of my links that I had meticulously arranged and collected over the period of about 8 months. Grr again. And, I also have to change the links on this page. Grr yet again. Grr.

Stupid upgrade. Stupid website. Grr. Makes me mad, messing with my stuff like that. Actually..well, that's a story for another day. Right..

The Wonder of Heat

I like heat. I'm guessing lots of other people do too. Especially when it's about 30/40 degrees (F) outside. Our heat isn't working right now. We tried flipping the breakers, but alas..it didn't work. It'll come on now, but it's just cold air. No heat :( That makes me sad. I rather enjoy heat. I don't know, it's just sort of comfortable. IN the morning, oy..it'll be cold.. body temperature goes down when you sleep, right? So if it's already cold in the morning..and I have a lowered body temperature..well then. That'll kind of suck.

That SUCKS

On a lighter note.. well, not really..but anyway, in band we can no longer say the word "Suck(s)" anymore. :( Oh well. I just will say "Vacuums instead. Heh. But it won't be the same.

Also, there's this cheer that they yell at football games..part of it says "Go! Buck Wild. Go! Buck Wild.." Mr. Hendrick (my band director) has decreed that we can't say that cheer anymore because it sounds like we're saying "Go! Butt Wild.." So now, we just get around that by saying, "Go! Blank Wild!"

Heh.

So I've found someone else on the internet with the same name as me. She's an author of young adult literature. Cool.

Sometimes, life just kind of sucks

On the other hand..America just started bombing Afghanistan. Fun. Great. That's just freaking wonderful.

On the news they said that today most Americans felt for the first time thus far, a sense of fear. I don't know about you, but I've felt fear ever since my teacher turned on the TV at 9:45, September 11th, 2001. What? 6,000+ human beings being slaughtered in the blink of an eye didn't send a wave of fear through you? Well. Geez.

I've only had one nightmare thus far, and even that was really funky. I dreamed that I had been drafted and was on my way to boot camp on a bus.

History in the making

So we're having this discussion, right? And we were talking about how this is history in the making. Someday our kids, (if we have any), will be learning about this in school.

Morbid thought- But, what if somehow we manage to blow ourselves up before then? Huh. What happens then? No school. Well duh. End of life as we know it? I think that has already happened. I guess it's sort of like being back in the Cold War..no one is sure who is going to blow up who first? Uncertain future looms..We thought we could handle whatever was dished out. But I don't think that anyone ever expected this. Ever. And like I said yesterday, that's not fair. It shouldn't be like this. I mean, what can they hope to accomplish through this? Don't answer that. But as I see it, the only thing that's going to come out of this is more hate, death and destruction. Freaking great.

So...it's wet here. Hmm.. I believe that a cold front is supposed to be moving in sometime today.

~sneezes~

And I feel sniffly. I also really don't have much to say. Nothing much going on. I've stopped watching the news for a while, just because I don't want to see it anymore. That sounds bad, but it's true. I really don't want to see any more of it. It's just too awful. And that's not all. It's not just awful, it's unending.

I'm not one of those people to cry and swear about this sort of thing. A lot of people are, I know. It's their way of dealing with this. I'm more the hold it inside until I start shaking type. That's what I did when I watched in on TV in class. I just started shaking and couldn't stop. It's more of a "Well, this sucks," kind of thing. Or, "This is awful." But it just freaks me out. I can't even come up with words to describe it.

I think I've been avoiding thinking about it, and for good reason. It does suck, and true, it is awful and it's not fair. But it's more than that. And I can't quite figure it out.

You go about your daily life. Ignoring things, blocking things out of your mind. You try not to think about these things, and if you do, you try not to put much stock in those thoughts. You try to go back to your regular, boring thoughts. Your steady thoughts, where you know where you stand and know what's going on around you..but in one instant, it all changes. You suddenly don't know where you are going..or your world..or your country. And I don't know about you, but that scares the living shit out of me. Where are we headed?

For the last 20 years or so..America has been really sure of where she was headed and what her place in the world was.

You know.."My country tis of thee..Sweet land of liberty"... Nice words. Sweet land of liberty. If this keeps up- the fear, the ever increasing security.. are we willing to give up our liberty for our supposed safety?
