Dang it feels good to be gangster..

Man oh man... I am tired.

And I hate unpacking. But I sure do love my cat curling up right next to me as I write this and going to sleep. That makes my day. :]

Oh..and I miss the coolest people on the planet- Tawny and Kristine. Seriously...what the heck? Screw you summer!

Oh..speaking of summer.
It's friggin cold here. Come on Oregon..didn't you get the memo that it's summer?
Consider this your stupid memo.

Passion...

So... I'm in the middle of writing Marler's little blurt for the insert when all of a sudden, it hit me. I don't even know this guy, barely even heard of him...yet I'm looking through all of his accomplishments and I feel sad that I didn't know him. Marler was freakin amazing. You know that whole collection of Holocaust books that are in the library? Yeah, Marler donate those books to CBU from HIS own collection. Do you realize how many books that is? That's incredible. He had a big passion for the history of the Holocaust. We all have a passion whether we realize it, or not. My passion? Becoming the best writer I can be, and maybe change some lives on the way through my writing. I have no idea how I will do it, but hey- it can happen.

On this day back in 1968, students at Columbia University took over the administrative buildings and shut down the university, protesting the Vietnam war. They had a passion. I wonder what they were feeling when the protests were going on. I wonder if they felt like their passion for peace was more powerful than any authority figure that tried to stand in their way? It's pretty cool when that kind of thing happens, it's almost like an adrenaline rush- maybe it even was for them.

Hmm. Just me thinking out loud again. :)

Star Wars?

Oh and one more thing.
If you ever have a bad day, and need a pick-me-up...Watch this. It is brilliant.

Ok, so I downloaded the 30 day trial of InDesign and I absolutely adore it. It's ridiculous. I've already made some cool stuff with it.. I hope to be better before next year! I'm learning all the tricks and shorthands and all that stuff. It's so much fun!

So, an interesting event happened in history, on this day, back in 1978. Korean Air Lines Flight 902 (a civilian airliner, mind you), was taken down by Soviet missiles, after failing to comply with Soviet orders to leave their area. The Korean pilots ignored the commands from the Soviets, and therefore, had missiles chucked at them. Two out of the 97 passengers died, and the rest were held for two days and then released. The pilots apologized for directly ignoring the Soviets and were sent back home. My question is, what the heck were they thinking? Ok, so they got off the flight path a lot more than they expected, so why would they just ignore the Soviets? Don't they know that Soviets are cranky and flying into their "air space" is just not the right thing to do, especially without explanation? Just a thought.

Oh, and another thought- I really wish Albert Einstein was alive. He was in fact, a deeply religious man, and I can only wonder what he would think of our world that we live in today. He died on April 18, 1955 and so much has changed since then. The man was brilliant. I thoroughly enjoy his ideas and C.S. Lewis' ideas. Those two men are amazing. That is all.

I also, really enjoy blueberry muffins. The end. ♥

Hello world. :)

Well hello.
Life is good. Yes, there are always complications and hold-backs, but nonetheless, life is still amazing. Thanks God.
Anyway...I don't have much to say at the moment. So, hello and I hope you are having an amazing day. That's all!

-love me.
