HAPPY

I saw Greysen today, which makes me happy. I haven't spent more than an hour or two with him in the past 2 weeks because his family has been traveling a lot.


HERETIC
Apparently I'm a bit of a heretic. The definition is "anyone who does not conform to an established attitude, doctrine, or principle." It mostly has to do with religious topics, so it's particularly fitting right now. It don't see anything at all wrong with Muslims building a mosque near Ground Zero. Muslims died on 9/11 too, and not just the "bad guys." When I lived in Minneapolis, I took care of several Muslim children and they and their families were good people. Just as with any religion, there are good and bad. You can't let one small group that take things too far represent how most others in that religion are. In fact, Christians have started most wars and done a lot of bad things themselves in "the name of Jesus/God." And if it is disrespectful for Muslims to build a Mosque near Ground Zero, then shouldn't we find it highly offensive that anything Christian has been built near anything to do with the Holocaust? And since that took place in most of Germany, there really shouldn't be any Christian churches in most of Europe. I know how ridiculous that sounds, but that's my point. The controversy over the mosque near Ground Zero is just that, ridiculous.

HELP
Mostly, I had no idea what to write for H, which is why it took me so long to write this entry. So, what would be your idea for H?

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day ...

I Heart The Office!

Image
My sister introduced me to the television show The Office . And I heart it. I saw Seasons 1 and 2 on dvd in the past week (I watched all of Season 2 between last night and today). The only problem now is that they are half way through Season 3, so I have missed several episodes and it won't come out on dvd until at least this summer... hmm, problem. But you want to know the one thing I heart even more than The Office ? Jim Halpert/John Krasinski (character/actor). He is on the show and I have a huge crush on him. I know what you are saying, you are 25 years old (turning 26 in 2 1/2 months) and crushes on famous people at this age is a little weird, and usually I would agree. It has been many years since I have had a crush on a star. But Jim/John is so an exception. In fact, if I could find a real life guy here in Minnecrap that looks like Jim/John, makes the same facial expressions, has the same sense of humor and is as nice, sweet and kind as him, so basically exactly like Jim/J...

All you need is love?

This is a question people have asked for a long time. Is it true? Is love all we really need? I think it would depend on who you ask. When it comes to young children, love is all you need. You know your parents love you and spend time with you, that is what is most important to a child. You don't understand the importance of money or work or health, all that matters is love. Maybe that is what is so appealing about childhood, why we would all do anything to go back, because we were innocent and love really was what made the world go round. As an adult, I now see things differently. Love isn't all there is, we need so much more. Some would say that makes me cynnical, but I am not. I want to believe that love is all we need and for the most part I agree with that statement, however I see that there is a lot more that goes along with love. As a parent, your role is not only to love, but to protect, comfort, support, provide, but common sense says that those things automatically go...
