Leaving NYC

I am happy to be leaving NYC!! The city was not meant for me and I should have known that when I first visited here. I almost kissed the concrete when I got back to Arizona because I was so happy to be home. Now I was not homesick, I just did not like the city at all.

However, I ended up dropping all applications a few months afterwards to go to King's College. One day I just did it and I thought, I think God is doing this. So I went to NYC and King's College was great.

On the other hand, the city was just not meant for me. I like nature and open land!!! I love being able to smell fresh air. I love the fact that AZ does not get much rain. After living in a place where it rains a lot, I appreciate the drought. Plus, I never heard of rain boots till I came here or snow boots.

Although there were many bad things there was also a few good things. For instance, the amazing people that I have met here and I desire to keep in contact with them all. Especially those from the Spiritual Life Project. I did not join that group until second semester, but it was amazing. They are true friends and I love that.

Another thing that I like is that the education was great. However, I did not feel like I was getting my money worth because my tuition was going towards paying for the rent in the Empire State Building not towards the students. To the people location is what matters to them not the well-being of the students. Some of you may disagree, but that is how I felt. I like the school but I am not getting my money worth.

Also I am going to miss the Starbucks night crew in the Empire State Building they are amazing. They are just such awesome people. Thanks to Jesse, one that works there (hopefully he reads this) he has officially changed my common drink. My new drink instead of Carmel frap is not Mocha Coconut Frap

Well, New York has been a great experience. I think that God may have wanted me to be here to grow spiritually in which I am a much better Christian now. I have never been so devoted to God since my time being here. I have changed into a much better person and I am happy. Hopefully, I can share my faith to others.


I am satisfied with my decision to go to University of Minnesota because I am going to be able to do what I want. I am hoping to double major and minor. Major in Criminology and Political Science. Minor in Arabic Studies. I am sad to go and leave my friends. However, I feel like this is the right decision

On Karla's Computer

I am currently on Karla's computer. Playing with her Mac. She is such a wonderful friend and I am going to miss her when I am gone. She has been one of the most truest friends I have ever had and I am really going to miss her. She is one of those friends that you want to keep in touch with forever. I am willing to travel 2000 miles to see because she is one of the closet friends that I have ever had.

Becky is another friend that is one of the closet people to me. I love her humor and she is a friend that I can confide in when I have problems. She is also one of those friends that I will travel miles to see and when she gets married to her boyfriend lol.

These two people are very dear to me and I am going to miss them greatly. I don't think that I can ever meet people like them, they are unique and special.

Pakistan

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/10/bin-laden-fight-hostile-pakistan

I am kind of disappointed with the US at the moment. I think that we should have probably consulted Pakistan before we raided his hideout. How would we feel if another country suspected a terrorist hiding out in the US and conducted a raid without our approval. Right now the government is not thinking at all or they were not thinking at all. I understand that they found proof that he was there and I am all up for getting the guy. However, the US is just not doing the right thing. They are lying to the Pakistan government and not communicating to them.

The US needs to start thinking about the relationships that we have with other countries. Especially Pakistan, we had great relationships with them until we started letting the drones in and now we conduct a raid without them approving. If someone did that to us we would be angry and tell them that they had no right.

WHO ARE WE TO JUST WALTZ INTO ANOTHER COUNTRY? Just because we are the US does not mean that we have that right, there is a reason why so many may hate us. We do stupid things like that. We could have let Pakistan know that we would like to conduct a raid and then bargain with them. IF they want something from the US, we would do our best job to meet those needs so that we could have gotten Osama

I think that it is great that we got the guy. However, THE END RESULTS DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS!!! We have absolutely no right to do that because we would not like it at all

The worst part about this is that Obama issued that special forces were given the order to fire at Pakistan police or military if they met any opposition. That is so wrong, I would think that Pakistan has a right to fire because you just came into their country illegally. For a country that is suppose to be helping human rights, we sure are destroying them. Pakistan has the right to shoot if they please, Obama you cannot just walk into your country thinking that you have privileges.

I love the US, it is my country. However, we are wrong in how we got Osama, that is just the end of the story. Pakistan has every right to be upset with us.


PS I know that the US has been doing it for awhile. However, i think that I have the right to get a little upset and I know that it will happen again

wow Now Feminist Arguing for Gender Equality in Children Stories

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/05/06/study-suggests-winnie-pooh-isnt-gender-equal-does-matter/#content


So I am reading this article thinking how ridiculous this journalist is for arguing that women should have a more equal amount of characters in children stories. Wow what is this world coming to? We are never going to achieve perfect equality till the Lord comes nor do I care about gender equality so much. I am happy for the feminist movement back in the day because now I can vote and have more opportunities.

There is no way that I am going to cry over the fact that women get paid less or that women are less represented in children books. Also when I do have children there is no way that I am going to censor my children from children stories just because they are less equal. Get over it!

Japan Sends Tornado Relief Supplies to Alabama

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/05/05/japan-sends-tornado-relief-supplies-alabama/


Thank you Japan for the kindness in sending supplies to Alabama. That is very sweet. See Japan is a country that appreciates the help that we have given them. I have always ranted about how other countries do not appreciate the help that we give them or they never help us when disaster strikes. However, Japan has done a really nice thing, they are one of the few countries that actually appreciate the help that we give them. NOTE: when I rant about other countries not returning the favor, I am not talking about poor countries because they do not have the supplies for that. A thanks is always appreciated though. That is so nice of Japan and I really appreciate the help that they are giving to those in Alabama. Your country is still suffering a little bit from the Tsunami and earthquake and you still help us


THANK YOU SO MUCH JAPAN!!!

Family gets 2 million dollars for bear attacks

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/05/03/judge-awards-1m-family-boy-killed-bear/

So this boy gets mauled by a bear and then the family sues he US Forest Department, mind you in a civil court (so asking for money). Now I find it just a tad ridiculous that a family is going to ask for that much money and then say "oh we just want them to post signs about the risk of bears" First of all, if you are going camping in the FOREST, there is going to be bears present. Secondly, before you go camping you should read about how to stay safe and prevent an attack. For instance, as kids we were taught not to keep food in the tent, but keep it in the car because of the bears. This family had food in their tent THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST RULES WHEN IT COMES TO CAMPING.

I guess not everything is common sense to some people. Anyways, this family sued for a ridiculous amount of money. Just like over half of people that do go to civil court. What are they going to do with that money? Likely do something stupid. How about you go spend that money on making a scholarship fund for the next person that gets mauled by a bear. OR you could use that money to make the SIGNS about bears yourself. So the next time you go camping you will not put food in your tent

Anyway, sorry if I disrespected their family. I feel sorry and sad that the poor boy is dead, it is no ones fault, just a little arrogance that is it. So remember when you go camping DO NOT PUT FOOD IN YOUR TENT.

Osama's death

Okay so I had to sit through two classes that talked about this mans death. One professor was like it was wrong for Christians to celebrate because that is what the Bible tells us. The other was not surprised that Christians acted that way or the US citizens acted that way. My opinion is that I am not surprised that we acted and cheered when we first heard the news. I was excited that justice has finally been served. This man finally got what he deserves.

Now some make the argument that he was a father and a husband too. On the other hand, he killed over 3, 000 Americans and countless others that were fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, daughters, and sons. He should not have killed those people and we cannot let a man run around and do that to people.


Europe was not going to do anything about Osama ten years ago when he attacked the US. The only people that was going to do something about it was the US, no one else was brave enough to do it except us. Madrid subways had gotten attacked, did they send troops to the middle east to find the leaders to fight them, no of course not. IF President W. Bush had not sent the troops in to find him then he would have attacked us more and would have attacked other countries. I am happy that Obama (sad to say I need to give him credit) and military leaders, the military as a whole were able to organize to find him and take him at. Justice needed to be served and sad to say we would rejoice.


However I am not fully happy with him being dead because we still need to worry about terrorists. The war is not done just yet, there are still things that the military may need to finish up. Also the war on terror is not done because there are still going to be people attempting to harm the US. There was an article that was posted a few days ago that stated that the NYPD is practicing with bomb sniffing dogs in the subway and at Times Square because terrorists are going to try. Also federal agencies know that sleeper cells exist in the US and they are trying to make sure to prevent those sleeper cells from getting aid from the terrorist organizations in the middle east.


Terrorism is still a risk, it does not end with one man dead. As a Christian I think that justice has been served, I am not happy about the thought of death, but he killed thousands. I wish that he knew Jesus Christ!!!
