What in the world is going on?

You know whats funny? I write all the time but I think I would suck at being an author. Its weird how those things work out. Even if you have a passion for something doesn't mean that you are all that good at it. I just enjoy it so much I don't care if I made people's eyes bleed because of lack of talent. (actually, if people's eyes really bled then I most likely would stop writing...hahaha) :) Im kind of in a silly mood. I wish I had my own room or my own house because I really want to dance to "My sherona" by The Knack...but my roommates would think I was weird. Correction: they already know I'm weird, they just might not appreciate it because they're trying to work on homework. 

So the guy that I am dating right now is way cool. He would dance with me if he were here. And he'd sing along and it would be great. haha We went roller skating this monday and it was really fun because I was trying to dance to the music they had there while were skating but I almost fell over every time. Luckily he's strong so he caught me. what a stud. :)

So I have really been trying to get up to date on the news on an international front because it seems like us as Americans are in this little self absorbed bubble where we don't really talk about other things that are in the world if they don't directly involve us. It bothers me a lot actually because no one really knows what's going on. We don't hear about Somalia and their government and how it has never been a stable thing. No one is talking about how we could solve that or what anyone could do. No one talks about the muslim women in Europe and the discrimination that they go through, or their dilemma between being stay at home moms and being in poverty or being successful business women. Or how about how if the Dali lama dies then his peole will be over run by the chinese and how that is a big deal because he has been their main reason for staying peaceful (if you can say that). Or how about Sri Lanka and the terror that is going on there? Why doesn't CNN show it on the news? Were so caught up in our own little squabbles we fail to see the massacres that are happening around the world. How can we help change the world if we are not even partially aware of it? Just a thought.
