The world is messed up, that's a fact
We fought for what we lacked
God has been defied and people died for
Freedom, love and life

What will save us? Do we know?
Saving friend and fighting foe,
Most of us are not sure, is there a cure?
Freedom, love and life.

Hope exists, but clearly twists
Human wish and action
The question remains, a bit insane
Is it for
Freedom, love and life

For all our oppression, hate, and strife
There will be freedom, love and life

Well, I went back to the east coast, and that was delightful. It seems that nothing has changed in Virginia. At all. And I did it with surviving without one of the most vital things in the world, you'll learn what at the end of the blog. So anyway, my dad says that when you fly over, you might see a lot of vegetation, but it is actually just moss growing on the top of the people's heads (cuz they're apparently ignorant.) Well, I beg to differ. Even if we don't have a fast lifestyle, we still have a hella lotta culture. Well, anyway, the first day I came, I called up Ian and we went to watch a movie. We ditched his mom, and we decided to watch Semi-Pro. However, we learned that Semi-Pro is R, and we didn't have a license so we were forced to watch 10,000 BC. It was horrible. Absolutely horrible. Except for the animals, the CGI was incredible. So anyway, somehow Ian's dad picked me and him up and somehow we made it back to my grandma's house where I was staying. The second day, I had lunch with Hannel, my funny but slightly perverted Korean friend. We had a good time and decided to have a sleepover the next day. The next day, I came to Hannel's house kinda late, but we had a good time busting our skulls open with Halo 3. So, I went to Brendan's house to have a sleepover the day after that, and that's when I discovered he was going through the same thing I was going through in the west coast (in terms of school.) So, we made a video, stayed up, explored an abandoned house from pre-Great Depression age, and generally had fun. I was very sad when I had to leave his house. I was then supposed to go ice-skating with one of my Indian friends, Vivek, but we came too late, and we didn't have his cell so that didn't happen. I got rather homesick at the time we were driving to Dulles airport to leave, so I wasn't that sad leaving. However, when I look back, I realize that everyone misses me, and I miss all of them. So, to clear up any suspense, the item I miraculously survived without is..... my cell phone. Yep, I scheduled all of those fun "activities" without a cell phone. I forgot the charger, so I was stuck without it. So, until next time, toodles!

Merry Christmas/Kwanzaa/Ramadan/Chanukah!
And a happy new year! I can't believe that 2008 is right around the corner, and the old hooker in the white house is finally getting out. I haven't done much in 2007, the lucky year, but thats the beauty of it. Just standing around and not doing anything is actually really powerful. Standing around and letting global warming happen. Standing around and letting mr. olde hooker go out of office. Standing around and letting someone get killed. Standing around can hurt people, or it can save people. Now, I realize I am starting to ramble on, but I just ate and I'm tired. And kind of excited. for. Christmas. So, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!!!!

P.S. Why did Santa Claus get beat up by the Secret Service? Cuz he said ho ho ho to Bush. Tee hee.
