Out of the Country! Farewell!
Yes, I get to leave the United States for a while. Leaving today, my family is driving up into Canada and partaking in the wonders that the glorious Rockies have to offer. Expect lots of pictures upon my return, for my camera has been restored to me. Hopefully I can steal the nice film camera for a few real pictures, too. I'm excited!
This means I won't be at frisbee, I won't be at church, I won't be online, I won't be on LiveJournal, deviantART, or anywhere else in the area for the unprecedented sum of 9 whole days! I'm off, travelling again!
I'm hoping to stop by and say "Hi" to Becky as we go through the area, but that depends on my parents' whims. So, wish me luck.
Lots of things have happened recently, haven't they? I've been enjoying frisbee, I did a lot of stuff with Soren and Nathan, I have a job, and now I'm going on a crazy family trip. Wow. And then there's all that crazy stuff going on in the world, what with the war and the bombings and the "Freedom Tower". Ugh. I did run across a poetic Times headline, which I appreciated:
"An Umbrella in a Shower of a Million Bits That Had Been a Bus."
Apparently this woman was just boarding the bus and bringing down her umbrella to fold it up, and the bomb exploded. I'm sure nothing deadly was heading her way, because the umbrella wouldn't have stopped it, but she says "I was shielding myself with my umbrella, and it all landed on my umbrella." At least she saved her clothes from being ruined.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Death is a natural part of life for humans, and hate probably isn't going to die out soon, but whereas death isn't necessarily a bad thing, hate is unarguably horrible.
The moral of the story? Love is good.
See you when I return.
