All is right in the jungle

Everyone is getting what they deserve and it's nice...actually I should probably rephrase that because it sound negative. What I mean is, is that all the people I care about are getting what they have deserved all along and it's really nice. I must say that I had a wonderful weekend, it really was great. Friday night my buddy Carlos and his roommate Jimmy had a party and I got to drink for free which actually means I got to drink alot. This ska band from Atlanta (50/50 Shot) and local favorite Greasy G played and I danced my ass off. Saturday was cool because we hung out with a couple friends of Colby's and that was really nice as a change of pace. I don't know there are a lot of things that seem very positve in my life, but I can't shake this feeling. It feels like everything is on the verge of going to hell again. It's been almost a year since my adult life began and alot has happened, and I've changed a good deal; at this point I'm pretty happy with were I am so I just hope that this is just one of those stupid feelings of impending doom I get sometimes that prove to be nothing.

Let's do some living after we die

"The devil came here yesterday," Chavez said. "He came here talking as if he were the owner of the world."

The leftist leader, who joined Iran last week in an alliance against U.S. influence, accused Washington of "domination, exploitation and pillage of peoples of the world."

"We appeal to the people of the United States and the world to halt this threat, which is like a sword hanging over our head," he said.

He also said the United Nations in its current system "doesn't work" and is "antidemocratic."

So the above quote was taken from the leader of Venezuala and while I don't agree with what he's saying mostly because of the let's become allies with Iran, we need to start really thinking about what is going on in the world; not just our leaders and the people that run the government but we the people. If our Constitution works the way it's supposed too then we are the government and we are what some of the world sees as a threat. We've stood by for a really long time and just watched things happen in the world and done nothing, and now we are attempting to step up and do something, which isn't a bad thing, but it does lend to what some nations are beginning to think of us. Where were we in Rwanda when over 800,000 people lost their lives. After WW2 we said never again would such a genocide take place yet we as a world allowed it to happen. This was the whole reason that the UN was created yet nothing is being done. NOTHING. It's insane. I understand that we can't baby sit the world and force peace but trying to help is something we should have been doing all along. The way I see it is that the free nations of the world, including the US, have not been doing our jobs. We are allowing tyrannical leaders take control of nations and doing nothing because at the time the pose no threat to us, but they do...maybe not right now but they will. If you know me then you know I'm not a fan of preemptive action but it just seems like it's getting to the point where that is the only option. We've boxed ourselves into a corner and what are we going to do. I'm am honestly terrified because it seems like we're coming to a cusp in human history where things are going to become catastrophic, and we allowed it to happen. So the whole point of this was that we need to be aware and we need to do something.

You see this shackles baby I'm your slave

So much to say and so much that is better left unsaid...so let's do some highlights. I went and saw Melissa last friday night which was very nice. I gotta say that out of all of us Melissa is the most mature. You gotta respect a girl that knows what she's doing, is taking care of herself, and keeping herself out of shit. The next night was cool too, we went out for Cady's birthday and ended up crashing a party at Tech...enough said.
The week wasn't too interesting but oh the weekend was grand. Friday night was a little trying/upsetting for these reasons. When people tell you that you should do something and you don't want too it sucks, but when they tell you to do something and you actually think about it it makes it worse. Had some dramatics with Mark, and things were a touch shakey on Saturday morning but eventually we got it back together and our tailgate turned out pretty well. The game was cool, and the party after was better. I got to laugh at drunk ass freshman even though my ass was just as drunk and I found out that Heather's freshman is the coolest guy ever...if you don't know why then we don't want you to know. Other than that life is life. Oh and do some research on the genocide in Rwanda and see if it makes you want to make a differnece in the world. If it doesn't you truley have no soul.

I was born in the back of a Greyhound bus

I love the Allman Brothers. So Tampa was great, other than getting sick, and it was cool to get to spend some time with Mark and his family. We saw Beerfest which is freaking hilarious so all in all I say it was a good weekend. We got piss drunk Sunday night and fell asleep watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on his laptop. When I woke up I really thought the sheets were going to catch on fire b/c of how hot the laptop was...it was scary. The weather has been great for the last couple of days in Statesboro...although I think it's a little sad that 80 degrees constitutes great weather, but whatever. I'm going home this weekend so that should be fun and other than that nothing is really coming up. I'm really enjoying life right now because not only is life going well for me, it seems that karma is coming into effect. Maybe it's wrong to take pleasure in that but it's still nice. BTW does anybody else think that DQ kinda ripped of Rocky Horror with those red lips in their commercial because I think they did.
So this weekend I had one of the moments. You know the ones where you just look at somebody and you know something. I looked at Mark in the car when we were listening to Maps by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and I knew that there is nobody else in the world that I could/would/or would want to be with right now. It's just nice to have those moments when you're certain that you made the right decision. It's been a long time since I've had a moment like that. Plus Heather has her boy now and it just seems like everyone I care about is on the road to happiness even if they aren't there yet. It's nice.
