North Korea has said that it will “legitimately counter with powerful nuclear deterrence the largest ever nuclear war exercises to be staged by the U.S. and the South Korean Puppet Forces.” North Korea is still upset that they are blamed for the sinking of a North Korean War ship a few months back and they aren’t big fans of the United States so even the notion of the United States and South Korea doing anything together can be seen as some type of hostile act in the eyes of North Korea.
While this is only a threat for now, I do believe that North Korea is very capable of carrying out this threat. They have already vowed to have a physical response to the drills that the U.S. and North Korea plan on starting Sunday (7/25/10). I don’t think that this is just some idle threat that should be taken lightly even though that’s probably how some of the people in power feel. We are not invulnerable and we can be touched. Never underestimate a crazy man, especially one with a large army and nuclear weapons.
The U.S. military doesn’t seem to take this threat seriously because there was ‘no sign of significant troop movement’ but how significant of a movement do you expect. If they are planning a nuclear attack or response then there is not a need for a significant amount of troop movement. This may be something that they said just to throw us off and downplay the situation though. who knows.
North Korea is a major foe with major nuclear power at its disposal. Threats like these should not be taken lightly and some type of resolution should try to be reached before this gets ugly. Or is it too late for that?
Andrew Breitbart. This Guy is a perfect example of how bloggers that think they are journalists can ruin not only the credibility of other bloggers but people’s lives. So he says that he wasn’t aiming at Shirley Sherrod but at the NAACP and their racist views. Whatever.
He totally cut and pasted her speech in a way that paints her as a racist and now that he’s been caught refuses to back down. His credibility is shot so he might as well give it up right? Wrong! Think again.
I think that he was wrong and that the USDA, the secretary of Agriculture and even someone at the white house was wrong and jumped the gun on asking for her resignation. I think that they should have viewed the speech in its entirety as well as looked at her track record before making such a major decision like that. I cannot believe that they would ask for her to resign without even looking at the entire speech. Nothing against bloggers put there that report accurate information but I double check major accredited news sources so why didn’t anyone Check this Guy’s credibility? I’m confused. This is not the first time that he’s done this either.
This just shows that bloggers have a voice and when that voice is not used correctly then it can be damaging.

So Boog is hopefully starting preschool at the end of August. I say hopefully because there is a waiting list and we’ll have to see how things go. I’m ready for him to start school and I think that he will do well. He already seems to be ahead of some of the other kids his age. Not to brag or anything and I know that every parent thinks that their child is a genius but I don’t care. I’ll admit it. I think that my child is the smartest, cutest, and best kid ever! *Kanye shrug*
This is going to be a a major step. I know that he’s ready but are we? Are we ready to send him off into the world to fend for himself? Well sort of. I mean I’m only talking pre-k here. Its not like he’s graduating from high school and going to college somewhere halfway across the world or something. I’m probably going to worry myself to death over this but hey I’m a new, first time parent. I’m entitled to freak out over the little things as well as the big ones. I’ll probably be just as nervous, and probably more, than he will be on that first day. That sleepless night before I’ll be up making sure that everything is in place so that things will run smoothly.
One of my major concerns is that since he is ahead of some of his peers that he may get into trouble. He’s not a mischievous child but when he’s done with his work he may try to find other ways to occupy his time and some teachers don’t recognize that as him needing more work or challenges but as him disturbing the other kids. One thing that he is that I’m not or wasn’t at his age is social. He is such the social butterfly just floating from Person to person and conversation to conversation. I still need to work on that but he seems to have it down to a science.
Children grow up so fast. It seems like yesterday I was holding Him in my arms at the hospital and now he’s about to be in school. Before you know it he’ll be applying for colleges. it’s true that time moves at its own pace and waits for no one.
That is all

Sometimes it’s hard to just let go of certain things or people but it is necessary. Holding on to that baggage is not good for your health or mental well being. Just let it go. If people don’t like it then let them go as well. No one needs that negativity in their life.
People must be able to accept you for who you are and not for what you are. You should never feel that you need to change who you are just to please someone else that in reality probably doesn’t even like you all that well. Just be yourself.
This its not a free pass to just become an asshole to people under the guise of “just being you” but it should allow you a bit of freedom to do things the way that you would like without fear of ridicule.
I may be wrong but I think people are too caught up in what others think of them. As long as you can live with the decisions that you’ve made then so can I. If your decision does not affect me then why should I care what it is? Does that sound selfish? If so then it just has to be that way.
We worry too much about was others around us are doing and not enough about what it is that we are doing and in some cases not doing. Its time that we sweep around our own front door before we try to sweep around someone else’s. The change must first come from within. We must change ourselves before we can even think about changing someone else.

“Happiness is unrepentant pleasure”. – Socrates
Happiness to me is sometimes all that matters. Our own happiness should be first propriety. Its great try and make the other people around us happy but it should never come at the expense of own sense of happiness. Happyness is a direct link to sanity. Don’t let the actions of someone else influence your happiness and well being. You are the captain of your own ship so don’t let just anyone come along and rock your boat.
