The more things change the more they stay the same

Today facebook changed again and like usual people have already started to say how much they hate the new facebook. Just like they did when it changed the last 100 times.  You know normally the changes actually turn out to be good things the first drastic change facebook made was opening it up to non college students and most of the people who might read this wouldnt have even been allowed onto facebook.  Just when everyone will start to accept the changes facebook will ultimately change yet again and the cycle of people bitching will continue.

No Intro Needed

Sitting in Ms. Schaeffers computer programming class learning about how to program in basic.  Thats where I was when I first learned about the WTC attacks.  It was fourth period and as I went to 5th period Mr. Vergari's class I was wondering if we were going to get out of school early, looking back on it I am a bit ashamed thats what was going through my head, as we learned we were going home from school I was asked to play hockey later that day.  I was so excited to play hockey for the rest of the day, when I got home I had learned about the 3rd building in the WTC complex to go down.  I had no idea how that one day those 4 planes would change the rest of my and our lives forever.  Now ten years later I wonder when will it happen again if it will happen again, in those ten years yes we found and killed both bin laden and saddam, but it will never be over I fear.  I can only hope that some day my children will look back at Sept 11th and never have to go through a similar tragedy, much like I am sure my grandparents hoped that their children would never have to go through another Pearl Harbor.  I have never been the most patrotic of people and those of you who know my stance on the term hero being thrown around will be suprised by this but those fire fighters who looked up at buildings that had just been hit and knew they were going to go down, but still went into that building are heros.

Maybe we can have nice things

Finally I have a laptop again, I had forgotten how nice it is to be able to sit down somewhere and type.  I havent had a true laptop in probably 2 years because of the horrible battery life that I had and then the monitor went out so I was confined to any space with a plug in for my big desktop monitor.

I have been thinking a lot lately about the things I have done in the past and wondered what kind of person I would be if I had not done certain things, such as what would I be like if me and Ashleigh never would have split, what if I never joined Tau Kappa Epsilon.  What if I just accepted the answers I was given and never questioned anything.  I think I would be a vastly different person, maybe for better but maybe for the worst but at the end of the day I am happy with who I am now and with the choices that I have made in the past and that is all that matters at the end of the day.

Oh and finally I had a friend read this the other day who was upset because she hadnt been mentioned yet, so hi jackie now your mentioned dont complain again haha.
