The title of this entry doesn't really mean anything. I don't what this entry will be about yet, per ce, and so I just left the title as something random =P
So I got back from Abundant Springs yesterday, and today I leave for Alberta again, Sweet!
I hope the weather gets warm soon, this chill is getting annoying. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Right now I'm at Josh's place waiting for him and Heidi and Cole to get off work, and then we're leaving huzzah! I bought a bunch of snacks today, so that's cool.
Anyhow, that's all I have to say for now, so I'm done, thanks for reading. Expect a better entry later on.

Just a Thought
I wonder...
How much better would the world be if people stopped and thinked about the good a person has accomplished instead of acting on impulse based on the "wrongdoings" of a person. How much stress, anxiety, strife and general heart break would be saved?
Come on people, a person isn't defined by their actions. Actions are separate from a person. So if someone does something that you think is wrong, hate on the action and not the person. Everybody makes bad choices, and sometimes we need to learn that it's not up to us to teach lessons. We act and decided and rule based on what we think is for the good of ourselves and all those aligned with us, and we forget about all those aligned on the other side.
Everyone is human and we all make mistakes. If we simply remove the person making mistakes from the group, it hardly remedies the problem. If anything, it makes other problems more apparent. Leaving hardly remedies any problems either. If everyone leaves because they don't like what someone is doing, then there won't be anyone left to fix the problem. Especially if the problem lies in the group, in which case, the problem simply goes with everyone to the new place.
If a loaf of bread starts to mold, whats the best way to remedy the problem? Lets cut off the mold, and leave the good bread behind, or just cut off the good bread and take it elsewhere. Either way, the mold continues to mold further, and eventually the 'good' bread will also mold, and the same dilemna will arise. There is no way to stop the mold, and removing the mold is bad for the mold. Instead, lets find a way to stop the mold, and start adding more good bread. The mold will always be there, but it can be checked. The good bread will just have to learn to live with the 'mold'.
(aka, suck it up people, jeez. get off your cloud. instead of just standing around complaining and forcing people out, step in and help make a change.)
