alright, so i'll start this out with a pretty stupid and hilarious story.
i'm watching cops on court tv. i know everyone knows what that is. i was barely watching it, but i looked up a few times just to see what was going on. one of the cops was smashing out all of the windows on this house that was on fire. he ran into the house and attempted to get the woman out, while yelling "ma'am your house is on fire! it's on fire in the attic! you need to get out as fast as possible!" i stopped watching for a little while after this. i looked up again when a group of the cops was standing around eachother laughing. apparently, this cop had smashed in the door and 7 small windows in this house when it wasn't actually on fire. the house next door was actually the house on fire. and these cops were standing around laughing about it. i'm not sure how retarded these people were, but by the looks of it, they shouldn't be protecting the people in that city.
there've been a few stories on cops that have really got me. i remember watching it once when i was younger where a sting was set up. they set a bike outside of a convenience store, unlocked, and waited for someone to steal it. when the man came up and stole the bike, they arrested him. in my mind, this seems really wrong. maybe the man wouldn't have stolen a bike, but he figured why not since it wasn't locked up. i mean, it's not like this man was going around town looking for a bike to steal. it just seems wrong that these officers set him up like that.
anyways, today's been a pretty relaxed day. i've worked on my art projects all day. and for the past hour and a half i've been copying my art history notes into my computer. it's kind of my way of studying for the exam i have later on in the week, and just to make it more organized. i don't think that i'll be able to take my computer into class with me because i can't type half as fast as i can write. i can type fast, but when i'm listening to someone, it's harder. maybe it just seems hard to me because i'm copying these notes and i'm trying really hard to make it neat and organized. i don't know.
i got a phone call from Wesley today. so here's your daily Wesley update. unfortunately he sounded more depressed on the phone when i talked to him this time. he just got over bronchitis though, which is awful. having to work in 100 degree weather, wearing tons of layers and having bronchitis can't be good at all. he said that they went into the gas chamber yesterday. for those of you who don't know, the gas chamber is where they put the trainees into a room and pump a bunch of toxic gas into it to train them on how to be able to put their gas mask on. Wesley said it was the worst pain that he's ever felt. he said he'd rather get kicked in the nuts.
i feel like talking to him should make me feel better, and happy, but it doesn't. i feel happy for him, but i miss him so much. every day is one less day though, and even though it feels long, looking back on these past 3 months it really doesn't feel that long at all. and in 10 days it'll only be a month until i go to georgia. i'm so excited. SO excited. it's going to be like something out of some really corny chick flick movie. god, i can't wait.
speaking of god, i didn't go to church today. i've just recently gotten into the whole religion thing. usually during hard times i try to seek religion to make me feel better. i see people who are really religious, and having something bigger than yourself to look up to really helps them. sadly, i'm unable to wrap my head around believing in some of the things that they talk about. i know that the bible is pretty much all about morals, but when you can say that your fate will be determined by whether or not you sin throughout your life, that's a little too much. i guess no one really knows whether or not there's a heaven.
everyone will make fun of me for wanting to go to church. maybe it's because of my.. sinful past. my family's never been religious. my mom's always been an atheist, and my stepdad was raised christian but he's become an atheist as well. i wouldn't say that i've been raised not to believe in god, but more not to be forced to believe in anything. i respect everyone's religion, and i find it extremely fascinating to see what people believe in. i don't think that catholics are ignorant, and i don't mean this in a hateful and disrespectful way, but i feel that jesus taught acceptance, and forgiveness. for extreme conservative cathlics to feel so strongly against things like abortion, i feel is wrong. jesus didn't teach people to be hateful or to force his beliefs on anyone. everyone should have a choice.
that was a pretty sucessful blog. i really felt like i had nothing to write about since nothing's really been going on. but now i feel pretty awesome. hooray for class tomorrow morning at 10.
