Happy birthday Mom! I love you and I'm glad the kids and I are here for your birthday.
Writing everyday is harder than I thought. Like everything else, I have a million thoughts running through my head - and then when I sit down, nothing. I guess thats what happens when you go non-stop. This has been a curse and a blessing for me. While I enjoy challenging myself and taking on a lot at once, sometimes I overdo it. Better to be pulling my hair out than worrying myself to death, I guess.
Speaking of worrying, I do want to touch on this Osama thing.
Like most things I think about nowadays, I'm torn.
I can't decide if I'm proud of Americans for the patriotism we're showing, or disguisted at the reason we are showing it. I definitely think this was a giant step for us, and in a way, he got what he deserved. But I am a little... shocked at how so many people can dismiss his life and celebrate his death because he was a 'bad person'.
One of my favorite topics in sociology was deviance.
Nothing is inherently bad. These labels are determined by reactions. His actions horrified US because we were taught that these things are wrong. They were obviously taught much differently. Naturally, we think we are correct. Nothing WRONG with that - everyone thinks that at times (some more than at times :/). But are we really correct? I guarantee you that 'they' feel the same way we do - they're way of life is correct.
Can we really ever have peace if we are always judging and trying to change one another?
I don't want to dive too deeply into this subject, because I'm not big in politics. I don't have a degree in sociology, and I don't feel like I'm correct. Like I said, I don't know how to feel. I tend to overthink and overprocess things, so I could play with this for years and never have a sound theory on it.
Before I move onto something fun, I would like to ask that everyone pray for our troops, for the US, and for everyone affected by his death. Yes, everyone. Remember that every person has some struggle or pain in his life, and to him it is just as rough as what anyone else is going through.
Now for the fun
