Does anyone get cravings for certain foods all the time? o_O
Sometimes its chocolate afghans, sometimes its Cheds, or Chex cereal.
I am currently craving peanut butter chocolate cups, though I have never in my life had one.
Mmm, peanut butter :D.
I seriously believe that America is great.
Its interesting, everyone goes and rants about them being all uppity and having a "oh-I'm-American-therefore-I-own-the-earth-therefore-I-am-awesome" and complains about their capitalist swine dog system?
America is the only country I know that embraces those who wish to become Americans as their own. I've lived in 2 countries (well 3, but I can't really recall too well seeing as I was only 2 years of age). I highly doubt that either of these countries would allow/accept a foreign citizen as its own. An example of the previous: my employer's cousin was born in India, and accepted a scholarship to America when he was in his late teens. He subsequently went on to become a policy advisor to Ronald Reagan (haha, 3 degrees of separation from me to a American president! Score!). Now in what other country could you find such warmth of acceptance? And there are countless more stories I'm sure.
Not to mention American culture is so pervasive. Authors, actors etc, you name it (*cough*MileyCyrus*cough*). Hollywood. Etc.
They also carry out large scale peacekeeping operations in other countries. And yes, I support Bush. The Iraqi mission was a lot better than the should-have-been Rwanda mission under the Clinton administration.
Yet the only thing people can complain about is the fact that America has screwed up, majorly. Seriously, if you are at the top of the pedestal, everyone can see you when you trip over. The one reason why Russia's (and other countries, of course) shortfallings are not brought to light is because they have a somewhat repressive political system. And because they aren't too (excuse me) important on the world stage. Come to think of it, are they involved in any peacekeeping missions (I know there must be...one or two)?
Oh and before I forget. The US army has its own naval transport. Which is separate from the Navy. Take a look at their carriers :O, tehhh awesome.
America is great. I do not think that they need to apologize to anyone else for their peacekeeping duties they've taken up: "sorry, I do apologize that we have killed some innocent civilians, even though a lot may die without our intervention". Or anything like that. And even if an American does act with the aforementioned "oh-I'm-American-therefore-I-own-the-earth-therefore-I-am-awesome" manner, they are justified. They just need to get some humility...before the rest of the world bashes them.
I love America though I have never set foot on its land. Go America!
"The insipidity and yet the noise; the nothingness and yet the self-importance of all these people!"
Read more...My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?

Hmm.
Its quite disheartening when you've got to stay up so late to complete an essay...and you hear the birds singing, heralding the morning.
I really really dislike (hate?) essays.
