Politics is a crazy crazy phenomenon. Keeping up with the news is a job unto itself. Between what is happening with the citizen oath in Israel, to the governor races in Florida, California and South Carolina, and the Chilean Miners' Rescues, I am finding it very difficult to keep up with everything. I used to think ignorance was bliss, in which I knew, maybe, of all the major things happening in the world, but I was woefully mistaken. I don't even know the major things. It is kind of scary how many things are reported and NOT reported; the things that get media attention...as one lyric by John Meyer, "And when you trust your television, what you get is what you got, 'Cause when they own the information, they can bend it al they want." So, in order to overcome this misfortune of having to believe what one news source says, you have to peruse through various ones only to confirm one things or get the stories to just one event. Also, it is very interesting to read what people from around the world have to say about these events. I used to scoff at the amount of attention that my mother paid to the remarks people would write after an article, but I am now seeing the benefits of seeing how other people think. I spent an hour reading comments on Al-Jezeera and gained invaluable knowledge.
That was my day at my internship. I was looking up news for the person who is traveling and gathered news and learned sooo much. After that, I went with Amalee to the combination KFC and Taco Bell....
...
gross. The last bite had something hard and I almost threw up contemplating what I had just eaten. Nasty. Amalee's Mexican pizza looked like someone had taken a dump on the tostada. So she threw that away. Then we walked back to metro, got back to campus and did hw for the rest of the night. Except homework was not as productive as it could have been because I was obsessed with looking for tickets to the Giants v. Phillies game on Saturday in which Lincecum is pitching against Halladay. I REALLLLLLLLYYYYY WANT TO GO! even if tickets are 179 dollars. This is the first time since 2002 that the Giants make a bid for the pennant. Eeeee....world series possibly? Oh please say it IS so! The last time the Giants were in the World Series, they were playing against the Anaheim Angels and they lost. Two things: one) I HATE that stupid monkey mascot thing they had.2) The last game (game 7) was the game in which I went to Barnes N Noble and found Crown Duel, my favorite book ever in the world. I have my copy with me even now. I remember I was really upset about the Giants losing that I demanded that my dadi take me to BN and I went and found Crown Duel, and flipped to the end because I remember the end being good, and I have a tendency to re-read the end to the books I glance at while I am bookstores. And I remember reading a part that said something about a kiss and I almost dropped the book, because in the book I read there was no kiss. I look at the cover and it reads: Crown Duel: Originally Published as the two books Crown Duel and Court Duel. I almost cried because the entire week before I had made my mother call every bookstore (including Half Price Books) in Fremont in search of Court Duel, the second part of Crown Duel. And here I was holding both books - in one- in my hand. Of course my father purchased the book and I started reading immediately, forcing him to take me home so that I could read, went home almost cried as I watched the Giants lose, but read until 11 that night. I remember reading in my Science class with Mr. Aloo. Oops...maybe thats why I ended up getting an A- or a B+... MOM DON'T BE MAD AT ME! Haha so that was the last time I watched the Giants in a World Series and I would like to watch them in the playoff game! Hmmm, reading memories remind me of the one time I literally begged my dadi and mami to buy me a book and no one would drive me, and I was in high school mind you, and I was on the floor with my hands clamped on my mothers leg (as if I was hanging on for dear life) and she was dragging me around the then incomplete floor of our living room. She was walking and I was begging her to take me to the bookstore to buy me a book that had just come out and I was picking up lint as I was dragged around the floor. After five minutes she relented and told my dad to take me and I was very happy to get my book.

Ahh, the good days when I would entertain myself with books. I picked up my book again today and just finished reading for an hour. YAy, good times. So thats all I did today, and I celebrated the return of all 33 Chilean miners! I pray to God that they make a full recovery! I cannot imagine what they went through!
Okay well, my breathing is starting to get constricted and I need to wake up for my early (not really) day tomorrow. I will write more later!
I stumbled a lot today. stumbleupon.com. epic. just epic.
Peace and love.
