A week over due

A conference held by president bush.
Reporter: "So what did Iraq have to do with 9/11?"
Bush:"Nothing, nothing"


Today was a long day. I gave my personal narrative speech. I spoke about how I got kicked out of UCI. I know I hit the class hard but I didn't prepare well enough and it wasn't as power as it should have been. Other people gave great speeches too about being pregnant in high school, getting into fights about racism, over coming fears, finding true love, etc.

My Interpersonal communications class went well although I was really tired and had a hard time staying awake. We played an interesting game that dealt with negotiations. We ended up going back on our word the first round, but so did 2 other groups and the only group that stayed honest ended up losing the most. By the end, negotiations meant nothing since no one had any trust left and our group cruised to an easy victory. It's amazing how cut throat I became in order to win but I did what had to be done to win.


The past few days have been a little odd. My mom left of St. Louis and I've been watching a lot of documentaries and discussion about politics in the US and namely 9/11. It started with me watching Keith Olbermann, a reporter on MSNBC, blast Donald Rumsfeld twice. I posted the you tube links earlier this week. After watching those I began to watch related videos about the current administration and 9/11.

I now strongly believe the Bush administration was behind the 9/11 attack and that what we believe to be what happened, ISN'T what really happened. There are dozens of great independent documentaries and articles written by various experts in fields such as architecture, planes, explosives etc and college professors refuting what happened. But the video that stood out most is this one. Watch it and think for your self, I only ask that you open your mind and look at the facts presented.

Regardless of whether you think our government was responsible for 9/11 or not, there is little doubt that this administration is the worst in the history of the United States. Why are we in Iraq? Where are the weapons of mass destruction? Where is Bin Ladin? Why is everyone so afraid to ask questions in the country with supposedly unlimited freedom? Why are we so scared?

When I think about the this administration and what it's done to this country, it deeply saddens me. We've been mislead and flat out lied too. I wish there was more I could do, but right now, I feel like passing on information will have to do.

On a lighter note, my mom's friends from China came to visit tonight and I had to entertain them. It was so so but what surprised me was that my mom had gotten one of her class mates to drive them to my house. Her name was Cherri and she's a tall, 25 year old Asian. I'd have to say she was really cute. If only I was older and taller. I over heard her on the phone saying "he's so handsome" in Chinese. I only wish I had a heads up so I could of shaved. I still think I made a good first impression.
