Traped in Mubai


A couple of days ago Mumbai was attacked by terrorists and my cousin and her fiancee currently live in a hotel in Mumbai. After avoiding the news I decide to read the news for myself, that was bad idea. Terrorist have been attacking hotels across Mumbai. They are currently on lockdown in there hotel.
My cousin and her fiancee are leaving soon but this enter ordeal made me think about the last presentation on The War on Terror. The world if filled with terror there is no way to stop it all. Instead of us looking like knights in shining arrmor we look like terrorist our selves. Our Government is so wraped up that I wish that they would care less about stoping terror in other contries and care more about the safety of it's citizens in other places and the way we look to other contries.

At a Clothing Impasse

Yesterday I was hanging out with a couple of Friends of mine. We stoped into a clothing store to help me look for a dress for my cousins wedding. Her wedding isn't until January 24Th but it helps to look now before the holiday season starts up and the prices jump. any way as we were looking around it seemed that every thing in the store was either to conservative or to risky. At that point I realized I have absolutely no idea what to wear to her wedding. I cant wear anything short because it will be in the dead of winter but I cant wear anything to long because the place where the wedding dinner is being held is going to be hot. Then there is the fact that I can't where heals because it will make me look like a giant among my moms side of the family. So currently I am at a impasse.

Whats your sign say about you?


I was working on a PowerPoint for my Geo science class about horoscopes and constellations when I realized how true horoscopes are. OK I know that sounds funny how could horoscopes be completely accurate about one person not everybody under this sign is the same. Well it turns out where your horoscope is located can differentiate people and there signs. I don't think that horoscopes can tell your future or who you will fall in love with but when it comes to categorizing people they are pretty accurate.

First Obama next the summer Olympics!


Last Night Chicago hosted Obama's gigantic election rally. As I was watching the swarm of people cheering without any fights and I got a sense of community. The crowd was interracial and crossed all age groups. Last night I saw the potential of greatness if Chicago wins the Olympic bid.

As a citizen of Chicago and some one who has been participating in the USA volleyball system for the past three year I know what it would mean a lot to the city of Chicago. Now I know most definitely will not be playing in the 2016 Olympics but I want to be able to see it in my home town. But some people don't think that Chicago deserves the Olympics and I would love to know why! WHY NOT?

Public or Privet

Like Miles Wednesday I was walking with my friend to her bus I was offered a bible by a man, I declined the offer yet another man about two feet away from the first man put the book into my hand without even asking me or my friend and then the third man told me to go to page 166 where I read the passage about how god created every thing including man. This upset me because one I am half Jewish and I had just gotten out of Geosciences class where we learned that we evolved from vertebra fish. I walked my friend to her bus we decided that we were going to highlight the passage and give it back to the guy. So as I walked back to school to wait till school ended to go to Foster reading I highlighted the passage and handed it back to him and said “ I would like to return this because it is contradicting my education.” Then I went inside and talked to the junior adviser chair about the guys handing out bibles and she told me that they handed out bibles once a year and that they knew about it. They told me to talk to the principle Timothy A Dohrer. He was in a meeting but I talked to his secretary as I was talking to her I asked a question that she and no one else had a response to. My question was “Why can they hand out the bible on the side walk but kids can not smoke on it. Now I don’t smoke and I don’t think any one should, but why is the side walk public to some people and not for others.
