Babylon

Well it is Wed. the middle of the week, it is the middle of the week, and it is about time for me to go to aerobics, but I have a few min. to really write what I have been pondering today..

First comes first, for the first time in many many months I was able to talk to my cousin who is in the Navy/Army. It was so good to finally catch up with him and to really hear about what is going on with his life. It made me realize how much I miss him, and it made me think of all those good times. The good times of all four of us pretending to be in the movie "Top Gun" pretending my sister and I were on space ships (riding on our cousins backs), I really miss the times of my childhood. I had and have many colorful, happy memories that really could brighten any dark day that I have.

For those who live in a box without a calendar, today November 11 happens to be Veterans Day, it is the time to reflect of the current, past, and fallen soldiers that have fought for America. It is a big important day that really should get more credit. So many schools have the day off and basically it is just an excuse to sleep in...hell even I really fully didnt care back in high school. But as I have entered college, seeing the schools ROP getting ready for the future soldiers, and really seeing my cousin fight over there for our country...it really has hit me hard. THANK YOU soldiers for fighting for my protection. THANK YOU soldiers for risking YOUR life for mine. It is a very deep and kind of erie thing to think about. This land that I am standing on right now, soldiers died for. It makes me feel sad about how I have not appreciated it.

call me a hippie...but I think we all need to appreciate the land that we are living on, it is covered with the blood of those who fought for freedom and equality.


anywho...here are some other interesting things that crossed my mind today.

1) Why do I still like you?
2) I am so sick of college, and the caf....please do not tell my friend the anount of food he can have..we pay 30,000 dollars to come here and if it was not for me you would not have a job!
3) I really miss aerobics
4) true story when my roommates are all gone I put on music and I dance to it.
5) Coldplay songs make me cry.
6) I have compassion for Hamlet.
7) Dream: to dance with Mark from So You Think You Can Dance.


peace and love,
