Well, not sure if I can really honestly find more to write about. I wish I would have done these during the time frame they were suppose to be done, cause than I'm sure i could have found relevant information to chit chat about but seeing as i kept putting it off than eventually forgot, well, that is my own fault.
I did end up getting that apartment so I am excited to move into it. I'll be moving to la crosse so my trip to school will be drastically cut down. Taking me a few moments to get to school rather than the 30 min I have to drive twice a day.
Hopefully everyone has a great Christmas break and looks forward to next semester. I sure am!

Today I will be leaving school after written communications to go look at a couple apartments in la crosse. I'm excited to move out of the parents house since I've lived there since I've been back from Iraq. The one place I'm looking at is on Charles street and is an upstairs duplex. Its listed as a "Huge One Bedroom". So hopefully its a decently sized one bedroom apartment. most one bedroom apartments I've seen seem to be small and not offer a lot of open room for the price.
The other place I'm looking at is on Gould st. I'm hoping that one of these places I look at today is a good candidate for my new humble abode!

Finals. The last few weeks of school are always a stressful few weeks. I only have a few classes but it can be difficult to keep up with the amount of homework that seems to build up towards the end of the semester.
The month break that i will get will be enjoyable but also am going to be working on staying on top of my next semester and being prepared.

Thanksgiving is always an intersting time of year around my house. We usually have my grandmother, my uncle, and of course my immediate family. We had a big turkey, stuffing, cranberries, greenbeen casserol and of course the always delcious pumpkin pie.
My family is a bit different than most, but that goes without saying with any family i suppose. Only a few people in my family converse with one another outside my immediate family. Theres always something going on that causes a fight or a falling out amongst family members. Its always interesting to see who the family is talking to around the holidays becuase those are the ones that show up.
My grandmother had quite a few children, 4 girls and 3 boys. My family, including my mother, father, brother and sister only seem to talk to my grandma and my uncle Scott. The rest of the family kind of sticks to there own, usually becuase something happened along time ago that they can't remember but still hold the grudge.
Holidays are fun, sometimes exciting, but almost always interesting.

Considering i'm trying to cram in a bunch of blogs in a short amount of time, it makes it difficult to find topics to write about. Than I think about what really bugs me in the world and than I can usually think of something to rant about.
This topic is about the world as a whole society, and how we are stalled in our current development.
We see T.V. shows depicting America in the future, building spaceships to explore the infinite galaxy, curing diseases, cancers and virus's that are common today. People might speculate or wonder if they will ever see something like this in our near future, or if we will end up somewhere around there in our distant future. Its easy to say, for me at least, that we won't be there. Not now, or anytime soon.
The reason behind this in my own opinion is the simple fact that humans, as we are, tend to be selfish, trying to obtain wealth and power, which i can't say I don't try to, who doesn't love money, but the reason we have money is because of our own greedy needs.
In order for us to advance as a civilization, I know it sounds rediculous, but we need to stop with the arguments about religion, believe what you want to believe, we need to stop the petty bickering over resources and put asside this hunger for power that we seem to have.
Now i might not speak for everyone, there are a lot of selfless people in the world, but not enough to change it entirely. The whole world, every continent would need to come together under a united front. One world, one people.
Now in the beginning i'm sure it wasn't intentional, races developing in there own area's of the world, content. Than we explored, waged wars enslaved people based on skin color and have done some pretty terrible things. We are a destructive force and will most likley engulf ourselves in a huge conflict that in time will leave one super power behind, or an empty planet devoid of life of anytype.
I'm most likley placing my money on the latter, as with technology and nuclear power, wouldn't take more than a few button pushes to destroy the face of Earth and usher in the extinction of man. I would hope that I will be proven wrong in the far future, but as of now, we will never progress becuase of our basic instincts. We are human, we make mistakes, but I think its about time we learned from them and looked forward, otherwise eventually there will be no one to tell the stories, or hear the stories, just another lifeless hunk of rock hanging in the speck of light that makes up our galaxy.

We had a bomb threat today. I really don't understand the whole point behind a bomb threat becuase honestly if a bomber wants to blow something up, they'll just blow it up. I understand that you need take the threat somewhat serious and check the area for an actual bomb.
The scenario was a bomb threat at WWTC today. For one, its a technical school. There where no politicians, world leaders, or really anyone of real world importance other than the students and teachers. Now I'm not saying this isn't a great school to go to, but its a technical school. Its not Harvard, Madison, Yale or any other Higher Educated learning, there is really no importance strategically, or politically to be gained.
Its just rediculous what some people will do to avoid taking a class for an hour, or doing a final. If you don't want to come to class than dont come to class, its only your money, time and effort that will be wasted than, not the other students time.

I've been slacking terribly on these blogs. I'm going to attempt to finish as many as I can and hopefully get some points from them, but it is my own fault as to the frequency these seem to come out at.
It seems like heroin is becoming a big problem around the la crosse area, well possibly not a huge problem, but a problem none the less. To me it seems like people are dropping like fly's from one of the most dangerous drugs. You hear about it in the news, the drug dealers getting sentenced for negligible homicide for selling the drugs.
Now I understand that being a drug dealer isn't a legal profession. I understand that drugs are dangerous. The people that are shooting up the drugs, they have to know the danger's from it. So why do they do it? Why do they shoot up liquid death? I think its wrong for people to point the finger at the drug dealer becuase he sold the drugs. He knows what he is doing is wrong, but the people who are buying the drugs and are using them, they are at fault, he's not shooting up for them, he's just giving them the means.
Think about it like this, is Gander Mountain going to be arrested for negligible homicide because a hunter accidently shot a person and that person died? No. So its a valiant effort to come down on the drug dealer, but its a wasted one, becuase honestly, they should have better means as to sentencing dealers and proper punishments for the crime. Giving someone a sentence for selling an item to someone KNOWING the dangers is ludacris in my book.
