Some New and Interesting Stuff (At Least to Me)

Well, here we go. I've got some new stuff to talk about since current events don't stop since I've go out of town, and I'll tell you about some other stuff too, but we'll start with the news. First of all, Head Supreme Court Justice William Rehnquist died Saturday night after a long battle with thyroid cancer, and President Bush has asked Judge John Roberts, who was orginally nominated to fill the seat left by Sandra Day O'Connor to take up the head position at the Supreme Court. Also in the news, both levees have been sealed up and two pumping stations are working to begin to drain the city. Things are getting better in New Orleans, but it's still bad there. Officials are saying that due to the damage Katrina caused the Superdome, it may have to be torn down. Many people are refusing to leave New Orleans now that they have been let in to inspect the damage. That's pretty much the news for now, I'm going to move on. I did some pretty cool stuff while in Providence and Boston. I helped my sister move into Brown University where she is going to school. After we moved her in, we went and saw Waterfire, this amazing show that the city of Providence puts on every once in a while during the summer on Saturdays. If you ever get the chance, go and see it, it's really wonderful. I went and saw some of the oldest buildings in the world in Boston before I left to come back to Chicago, including the oldest church in the U.S., where Benjamin Franklin's parents are buried, where Paul Revere, and John Hancock are buried, and where Paul Revere lived at one point. Finally, I had some extra time during while my parents and sister were out getting some stuff for my sister's room, and wrote a new life thingy. I'm going to think of a name, give me a second, wait for it... wait for it, ah, got it, Life, One Word, A Million Possibilities. One more thing, I'm probably going to be adding quotes to the bottom of my post from people, maybe songs, but probably not cause other people do that, and I'm not other people, but I'm going to figure out some little signature or something to add to the bottom to make things interesting for some people and me, you know, I do get bored sometimes. Actually, I get bored a lot, but not as much now with school and other stuff going on. Anyway, I'm going to stop boring you, and give you my life thingy. I hope you like it, and as always leave comments, and give me feedback on it. I will appreciate it a ton, seriously, I will. This post was way too long, I've got to limit these things and for some reason Blogger isn't letting me upload my image. I'll try to upload the one I had in mind later if I can, but for now I'll stop blabbing and here you go, my new life thingy, starting right....... about ......... now.

Can you give me directions to life? I don't know. Life is a crazy deal. No one can tell you how to live it. It's your life, not someone else's. It's out of this world and the only thing stranger in life is the people that you are going to meet in it. Some people you may orginally think you won't get along with or like, but you end up learning to deal with them and becoming friends. Life's weird that way, and before you know it, you've lived your life, and all you have... are the memories. Memories of the good, the bad, and yes, even sometimes, the ugly. That's life, one word, a million possibilities. So can you give me directions to life? No, no I can't. Here is something I can give you though. Go take risks and live your life while you have the chance. Take a chance, go jump off a cliff that you don't know where the water is below or how deep the water is. A nasty end, perhaps, but, ah, what a glorious flight on the way.
