My friends are extremely important to me. I hold them close and I really do love them for all that they are. There are times when they can be annoying or whatnot, but the times that they're fun and kind and loving outweigh those times in a huge ammount.
I've been through some tough times and through each of those times one of my friends had been there for me, even if I don't really talk to them or see them anymore, I still have them on my mind because the fact that they helped me and were there for me and made me laugh kept them there in that part of my brain that holds the good memories and such.
On the other hand those friends of mine have been through some tough stuff themselves and I do my best to try and cheer them up or do whatever needs to be done to help them feel better. I can't stand to see them hurt and when they are and someone made them feel that way I FEEL like I should go kick some butt. (I never do but...I sometimes wish there weren't consequences to that action...but there is...so...yeah...)
Anyway, I love you guys and I just want to let you know that.

Another Way to Die? 2?
To be completely honest it kinda makes me upset that I've already written about this topic and I don't really want to be redundant...but I guess I'm forced to be. So here it is Another Way to Die? 2? Yes, yes a wonderful title I know.
We watched the video discussing the planet and the things we're doing to kill it. But, that's weird
because recently I've been listening to a song by my favorite band, Disturbed: "Another Way to Die." The song talks about how we are creating another way to die by killing the planet, well basically, that's the gist of it.
I can honestly agree with pretty much everything in this song. I wasn't just bobbing my head to the beat it was more of nodding in agreement, it made me realize that we are sort of waiting for Mother Nature to strike back because of all that we've done.
Personally I think that we should be conscious of what we are doing. We shouldn't wait to let something get so bad that the government HAS to step in to try and salvage whatever we have left. I've heard that littering and the wasting of cans and bottles has more than doubled within the last decade.
People, including myself, seem to talk about wanting to recycle and wanting to remember to turn off electronics and such, but we seem to forget and let it slip our minds. Granted there are a few people that put forth that effort to take one more step and toss a piece of paper in a recycling bin instead of the trash can. I think that now is the time to start something, a bit of a revolution to recycle, to help save and rebuild what we have left of this Earth.
**I really suggest you check out this video I thought it was rather 'eye opening'**

Marlboro Marine
 |
| U.S. Marine Corps. |
I know what its like to have loved ones sent to Iraq or Afganistan, I have two cousins in the Marines and one in the Army (there is a difference). All of them have been deployed at least once. I can remember sending them things they could really use (they asked for good snacks A LOT ^.^)
Fortunatley for my family and I, when each of them came back, yes, they were different (meaning they had changed a bit from their experiences), but it wasn't a dramatic change. They were able to deal with whatever had happened to them over there, and we can all still have fun as a family.
Some will say that the people that are deployed over seas are murderers and that they aren't as good as those of us that haven't fought for our country. Honestly, that really wouldn't help make them feel better, especially if they suffer from PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) I don't know what my cousins did over there, but I could never consider them murderers.
What happened to Blake Miller (Marlboro Marine) is depressing, he lost things he loved because he was sent to Iraq. I am extremely glad that nothing like that has happened to my family, and I hope it stays that way.
