What To Expect

I decided to create this for the sole purpose of ranting. I needed somewhere to voice my opinions. Many of you will not agree with me, but i'm not here for you; i'm here for me. You can expect anything to be said here. If I have an opinion, I will most likely rant about it. This is my little home away from home. This is where I put my thoughts into words. You can also expect lots of grammer mistakes, and typing errors. I will do my best to look over what i am typing, but for the most part, I don't exactly care. I am not very old, therefore I am not very wise, so expect nothing magical and brilliant. Well, let this be the begining of my blog.

Make sure you follow! Also, comment with your opinions!

Europe.

Wow, all I have is fond memories of this place. Visited Spain, Italy, and France for school in March/April 2008. I'll never forget it. It was just one of those things that I have ALWAYS dreamed of doing. Since I can remember I have loved history, not really Canadian history, but especially European history. We visited churches, basilicas, cathedrals, amphitheatres, aqueducts, and everything you can imagine. I never really new how much this trip would mean to me until I first set foot in Spain. Now, I have a hard time even thinking of the trip, even writing this is hard. Sadness overwhelms me, and yet I do not fully understand why. Shouldn't something like this of made me feel better. I try to tell myself that I have seen things that other people dream of seeing, I have seen things that I HAVE ALWAYS dreamed of seeing, yet its all to no prevail. I wish I could go back, and be with the 29 others I was with during that 2 week period. One day, maybe in the near future, I will head back, and visit some of the places I never got to see. Never shall I forgot the Ward's Wanderers, the Cassils Castles, and the Gable's Griswolds.

Oh, Religion.

There are going to be many that disagree with what I am about to say, and talk about. But again, this is for me, to put my thoughts into words. Feel free to comment, I would like to know what everyone's thoughts are. Well, ever since I started learning about the Universe and everything in it, as well as theories of how we were created, etc, I begun to think that the theory of creation, though a higher being ("a god"), seemed very far fetched. I just couldn't think of how one man could create all that there is in the Universe. It just seemed impossible. I don't say this much to people in the real world, because, well, most people don't like me doubting religion. Back on track though, what was here before "a god" created everything. There must have been something. Personally, I think humans think were special, and that we were put here for a reason. I think its a load of crap. I think people need to start realizing that the human race is not a special thing, put here by a man who loves us all. We are random. Random living things in the mass expanse of space. We are lucky to be here yes, but again we were lucky. Lucky that some living cell, bacteria, etc, crashed into the earth, while riding on a meteor, in its early years. But, while thinking of this, another thought came to my mind. There are MANY religions. There are different beliefs for each and every religion. Different gods rule each religion. Each religion has different groups of followers, whether it be race, color, or sex. I'm not dissing any religions, i'm not saying any are better then the other. But, which one is the CORRECT one. If people do in fact believe that there is a greater being, an ultimate creator, then which one is "the one". With so many gods, almost 1 for each of the MANY different religions on earth, one must be actually real. I would assume that each and every god could not all be real. They cold not all have created the Universe. I don't want to hear anything like, well sometimes believing helps in life. Whether what you believe in is real or not, it makes you stronger. That's not why i'm ranting about this, i'm here for the truth. Me like many others, I would assume, want to know if there is an actual ultimate creator out there. Maybe one day, everyone will find out. Maybe it will be for the better, maybe it will be for the worse.

Democratic Republic of Congo?

Well, I was doing homework the other day, and the news was on in the background, and that is when I heard that the European Union, was going to meet and possibly make plans to occupy Congo, because of the civil war. This is a good idea and all, attempting to get rid off the rebel groups, and maybe give some of the refugee's some of their life back. It seems to me though, that maybe entering Rwanda, or Uganda, would be a better idea. It seems that the genocide that has taken place in these areas, has not yet ended. And what about the child soldiers. Well, I guess Congo most likely also has them, but it seems that Rwanda has been in much greater need of an occupying foreign army for a longer period of time. From what i've heard, learned and have been told, nothing was done in an attempt to save the hundreds of thousands that were slaughtered here. Don't forget the millions still stuck in camps. Well, I guess not NOTHING, was done, peace keepers were sent to the region, but what can they do. They keep the peace, not make it, and when there was no peace to be kept, what good were they. Maybe the U.S would be better off helping Africa re-build, rather then destroying Iraq, and stealing it's oil. But if oil is the only reason they are there, then maybe they could move next door to Afghanistan and increase the U.S troop count there and to fight the true war on terrorism, along side the Canadians and many other foreign countries. Back on topic though, Congo is a place in great need of foreign help, I just think they shouldn't JUST focus on it.
