Thoughts on The Occupy Movement

I don't have a lot to say. It's late and I have been doing homework all night.
I just want anyone happens upon this post to watch this.



If you can watch this and not feel concern about the state of our country I worry for you. It is not up to one group of people to have all the answers, to have all the solutions to all of our problems. That is exactly the problem with the way things are right now. No one group will ever have the perfect cure for our ailments. The only way to solve the problems is to first acknowledge that they exist. Then we must come together, make compromises. The Occupy movement is a step in the right direction. If you find yourself in disagreement with some of "their" ideas, or opinions. Remember that they are not a political party or a lobbyist. They are people, just like you. They have all their own ideas about what is wrong with this great country and are just trying to voice said ideas in whatever way they can. I hope that you can feel some kinship with them, for at the very least, you are both human beings, and you are both fed up with the way things are going. I love you all. My heart goes out to everyone with enough brass to Occupy. To all of you who have felt the harsh backlash of the law, just remember this: You know in your heart that you did no wrong. These police officers and prosecutors make a mockery of the Constitution they claim to uphold. You have embraced the freedoms given to you by the Constitution, and you do honor to it with your protests.

Thoughts on This Evenings News

 So I am guessing most everybody reading this has already seen the news. Osama Bin Laden is dead, by the hands of US military. I cannot help but feel damn proud to be an American today. I do not agree with everything our country does, but this strike by our military is absolutely justified and all Americans involved in the strike should receive very high honors. Living so close to New York City, you can feel the pain and sorrow that still lingers here from the 9/11 attacks. I am pleased by the knowledge that many people in New York and Jersey have finally received the justice they deserved.

All that being said, I am also worried by this news. I hope that our country can heed President Obama's words, stop arguing about irrelevant and unimportant issues, *cough* birth certificate *cough* and start to focus on addressing some of the serious issues facing our country. I am also worried about retaliation by terrorists around the world. The USA, and the world have enough on its plate. Also, I have friends in Iraq and I am very worried about them.
God that was some serious stuff. How about some humor to lighten the mood. So being the slightly paranoid and over-reactive person I am, I freaked out a little bit this evening. My mom busts down my door around 10:00, tells me to shut off the video games. Dad just called, breaking news, Obama to speak, matter of National Security. So I am thinking worst-case scenario now, either USA being invaded by a foreign country or some kind of extra-terrestrials, (or Zombies-always a possibility). I am up in a flash, and I have a plan.

1.Tell Crispin- I was already on Skype with him so that was easy

2. Get ready- Grabbed some shoes and a sweatshirt; it is pretty warm here so I am good there. I then proceed to start filling the bathtub with water.

Now you may ask: Kyle, Why are you taking a bath right now?

Well, if it were WWIII, you never know when those water pipes might stop working. When the water does run dry, it would have been mighty nice to have a whole bathtub full of water to drink.

3. Get Information- Go to the living room, News is on, sit down and watch. CNN announces Bin Laden is dead. So now I feel kind of stupid, my mom is giving me a "wtf r u doin" face, asking me why I am all dressed to get in the bathtub. Turn bath water off, get some popcorn and sit down. Calm, Watch news.

Hokay guys Goodnight,

God Bless America!



For real though, Fuck Yah America
