The west fails yet again
Rant = on
Am I the only person who had alarm bells ringing in his head when he saw that Russia and Georgia where engaging in armed conflict?
I mean once again we find the aggressive nationalistic state of Russia forcing her agenda onto former soviet satellite countries. And here in the west all we do is wring our hands in a distressed manner and tell them to stop being little children. Whats really sad is that Russia has been making its aggressive tendencies perfectly clear ever since Putin first came to power but no one seemed willing to confront them about it. It's like Europe in the 30s anyone who wanted to could have read mein kampf and gained a clear picture of Hitlers intentions but they decided to listen to the pacifist Chamberlain while the Nazis gobbled up Europe. What's really disturbing is I don't think there will be a Churchill to pull us out of the muck this time.
The problems:
NATO is ineffective.
the UN is a corrupt system that can do nothing but condemn Israel and line the pockets of corporations and terrorists.
and individual countries seem unwilling to act.
So Russia is free to duke it out with Georgia. The only bright spot is that the Georgians are defending themselves.
Whats really sad is no one seems to care. When I checked CNN a story about John Edwards Fathering illegitimate children ranked far over coverage of the fighting!
I am becoming royally fed up with American culture.

ok I admit it I am a slacker...
... I haven't updated this sucker in awhile so I thought I would throw up a few random lines on my recent history.
...well let's see I'm living in an apartment because my house is having extensive renovations over the course of the summer...
...I went to camp in Florida for about a week which was friggin awesome!
...I saw the Dark knight best movie of the summer so far hands down! heath was amazing!
... I've been trying to think up some new layouts for my blog and or other personal sites(which have yet to materialize)
that's all I can think of right I am kinda brain dead because I have the camp crud and symptons=headache, congestion, soar throat, runny nose etc. which combine together to make thinking kind of tricky

w00t! it be my birthdayersly
well june 6th has rolled around yet again and I am yet another year older it's kinda freaking me out last years felt like it was yesterday not a year ago I'm in one of those weird time warp things when you can't believe your only 17 but you can't believe you're already 17 it's kinda weird and annoying the older I get the less excuse I have to be an idiot which makes life less fun sometimes
anyway I get another year of being and idiotic high school student and then I get to be a idiotic college student for 4+ years and then I have to join the real world and get a job and do something productive with my life ... oh well.
I need a job,

update
just realized I hadn't updated this personal internet journal in awhile so I thought I'd just list off some what I've been up to recently.
well I finished up school a couple of weeks ago, saw Iron Man(it was amazing!), saw Indiana Jones(pretty durn good), learned a new song on the guitar, hung out at the river last sunday with the family, almost finished up the yearbook, saved the world from nuclear holocaust, and interviewed at starbucks this Monday.
the last one is the most important to me. The guy pretty much said he will probably hire me eventually but whether it comes sooner or later is as yet undecided. So if all you peeps want to keep my job situation in your prayers it would be cool.
in a not very cohesive or practical state of mind,

P.S. memo to self: please remember to occasionally plan out what you're going to say ahead of time and edit it for content and grammar when blogging.
