California





I went to California mid-February for a week... Here's some pictures that I haven't published yet.

I'm not sure why I chose today to post them. I will say that this trip was life changing in it's own way.... Regrets? No. Would I have done somethings different? Yes.

All of the pictures I'm uploading are of the Golden Gate Bridge. That's not the only thing I experienced there but it's four different views of the same thing....

And that can be taken any way you want but I choose to see it as symbolic of the lesson I learned there and today:

That you see things from one point of view, and maybe you think you're point of view is the best, but until you've seen it from every angle you can't really know...

Osama: Because everyone is doing it.

Now I'm going to write what I think about this.

Sometimes I get really disappointed by people. The death of Osama was one of them... And please comment back because I would really like to hear what people think about this.

If I was to claim a political party it would probably be republican, though I try my absolute hardest to be objective when reading something and no I am not always perfect. But I try.

So yes I did vote for McCain. I didn't think President Bush was the greatest president but I also don't think he's an evil mastermind that blew up the twin towers to go to war for oil.

So when I say that I'm really disappointed by the celebration that's going on after Osama's death that's where I'm coming from. Yes he did do what I would consider evil in his life but when I'm flipping through the channels to see 20-somethings chanting "USA" over and over again like some sort of frat party on ground-zero.... I really think some people are missing the point. The death of Osama was a symbol for some. It might have been a relief for some but I think we need to keep in mind that just because we see ourselves as the good guys doesn't justify that it's okay for us to celebrate death over a man and criticize the other side for doing the same thing....

I agreed with President Obama with his quote "Justice has been done." Because it has... I think it's time to move on.

In other news I have a new favorite drink: the Bin Laden. It's 2 shots followed by a splash of water.... tastes like that joke was too soon.... HEY-O

That last sentence was me trying to lighten the mood after a political post... uncomfortable..

Sometimes I don't write.

Sometimes I do.

Most of the time I'm not writing it's because of laziness or that I don't really have anything to say.

Actually scratch that last part. I always have something to say. It's mostly because of laziness...

However sometimes I don't write because I'm not sure of how people will take it. Or that I'm afraid of what someone might think, or say, or judge me.

But I think it's important to remind myself that I write for me not for somebody else.

But I'm scared to lose my funny. I mean... what if I write a post that's not as funny as some older ones I wrote.... what if I was never funny and I'm the only one who thinks I'm hilarious? I just think that if I post something that's not as funny as some of my older things, then it will take a new reader even LONGER to scroll down to some of the stuff actually worth reading... then where would we be? And that's a fear of mine in a nutshell.

Truth: what a tasty little morsel.
