Tired...

The wedding was good, Susan is all married to Nick now and they are off at an undisclosed location.... No one messed up his car, which is good for them, I suppose.... It was assemblied chaos behind the scene though, but it was all good....

I did laundry and ate chicken, now im really tired... so I'm gonna sleep

Wedding Bliss..

So today is the day... my best friend since I was 3 is getting married.... what seems to be an exiciting time on one hand, also seems incredibly stressful on the other, for some people. I get to be in the wedding as a bridesmaid so I have to wear a dress and all that fun stuff. I still need to get socks this morning, luckily shopko opens at 8am. Pictures aren't until noon so I have plenty of time, I probably could have slept more but I didn't feel like it.

This day makes me reflective, it's been a long 25 years.

test

I am trying to add a comments area to my blog.. so far... not so good.....

reality...

There is nothing I can say here that will make much of a difference... I have come to see today that there is still a lot of evil in humanity and that no matter what people say, we have not advanced much passed the monkey state. The only difference now is that we have spent hundreds of years and millions of dollars perfecting better ways to "strategically" kill people... maybe it's just me, but it seems wrong. It seems wrong to me that an intelligent community that we supposedly have is at all supported of this war. I understand the need to enforce UN resolutions, because if you do, not then what is the point of having them. But, if we are truly a global society, then we have to act in the best interest of the whole, not the few. This war is morally wrong, and I feel it in my soul as such.

If we are such a "peace loving" nation, as has been stated many times, then why are we the ones instigating such violence? We are also only bringing more problems to ourselves. Do you think people will stop hating us if we act even less as a member of the global community? No. This will just give more people reason to feel that we are not the great nation we say we are, but rather international bullies with only our own agendas in mind.

I want to go on record as saying, that while I do not support this war, I do support the UN. I think that what would have been the better alternative would have been a clear resolution that said Iraq should disarm by a certain date and if they do, not something is going to happen to force them to disarm. The ramifications of this war will not be felt for some time now.

I am tired of the administration using the Iraqi people as a shield for this war to get revenge on Sadam. Yes, I agree that the signs are there that he is a dictator. We all know what happened last time a dictator was allowed to simply flourish, i.e., Germany. But then again, look at Cuba, by all practical purposes, he is also a dictator. I just don't know. I would hate to think that we did nothing and have something horrible happen . But then again, what if the objectives of the war are not met. What if the people really do love Sadam, we do not live in their society, so what do we know? I guess we will find out soon enough.

All I know, is if some other country tried to do to us what we are doing to Iraq, there would be citizen armies in the streets to fight for our rights. Maybe it will be the same in Iraq, who really knows, I certainly don't. If I could will this whole thing to stop, I would do it right now. I do not think massive destruction of any entire country is the best way to handle conflict. It only makes the US look worse in the eyes of the rest of the world. We are a nation of nations, and must act accordingly.

I must also address the issue of people saying it is unAmerican to criticize the president or his policies or the war. This is not unAmerican, this is very much an American right. We have the right to say what we want and a duty to keep our government in check. That is correct. It is your duty as a citizen of this country to make sure the government does not become so corrupt that we are brainwashed into accepting everything it does simply because it is the government and they should know better than we. Speak up America!! All these countries in the world are full of people that hate us, for the very actions we take. I do not hold any personal hatred towards anyone, it is only a waste of time.

I know we have started something that puts us on the tip of history. Where we go from here is anyone's guess, but mark my words, if we do not start acting in a more globally friendly manner, we will be the ones that are marginalized.

it seems like the closer i think i am to being settled in, the more stuff I find I need to do... tomorrow I am going to get a vacuum.. it is getting bad in here... (imo)

speechless

I have nothing to say at this moment...... nothing of meaning, nothing worth saying..... where will we be in 5 months?

80 degrees...

meh... some stupid noise outside woke me up... and I realized I was really hot..... it may be 53 degrees outside right now... but the thermostat in my place was registering 80.... blah.....

Today

Today was another fun filled day for me....

I did some laundry... um... went to the mall and ate dinner. It's odd though, I hate the mall a lot, usually, but today it was different. I didn't feel like killing anyone, I'm not sure what is wrong with me. I mean there were annoying people everywhere and my rage never went above normal. Very strange.

Another oddity, I like cheesecake now... I used to hate cheesecake, but now I like it... *shrug*

Time to hang up my shirts...
