Rights, The First Amendment and Coolness.

Okay can I point something out real quick? Actually don't answer that, because it doesn't matter. I'm just going to say it anyway. And you can't stop me! You know why? Because this is my blog! Alright but anyway now that I have pointed out one of my first amendment rights it's time to continue. I have found out I have an extreme love for the first amendment! Don't stop reading because I just wrote that. I promise I'm not going to go all school house rock or magic school bus on you! By the way I loved those shows when I was a kid! But anyway can you imagine how much it would suck if you couldn't say things like, "I hate eating vegtables!", "You're crazy!" or "You lazy bum hole get off your rear end get a job and move out!" Okay maybe those aren't the best examples but there things people say to other people on a daily baisis! Maybe not to you, but to me for sure. Can you imagine how much life would suck without being able to say what you want? Or how about if you couldn't post what you wanted? Freedom of press people! Without it I wouldn't be able to post a blog or newscasters could say what they please!

Okay religion..how about that? How would you like to be forced to be a religion you don't believe in? It would be rediculous! Heck with out this freedom the government could have us worshipping John Stamos! (Don't get me wrong he is a good actor and he was quite fine back in his Full House days, but I don't think he is God).

Protesting is a cool thing too. The hippies out there are going to love this! I think we need to protest more! Okay we don't like something the government does. Call them out on it! Don't just sit back and let them walk all over you! They are not your mother! Take care of yourself and the people around you and do not let the government take care of your needs. You are more than capable.

Last but not least the freedom of assembly. Can you imagine a world with out concerts, schools, or dance clubs? Okay I know that as kids we all imagined not going to school. Heck some of us still wish we didn't have to go to school or that we didn't have school but with out this no one would be able to get together. Ever. There would be no parties or meetings. Heck we'd pretty much sit on the couch and watch T.V. by ourselves all the time. How much would that suck?

Mkay so this is more of a rant then a blog. So sorry about that. Hopefully the next one will be a little better. But I need to say all this and let it out. My final word today: The first amendment is cool.

Mother's Day

Recently I have tried to make a pie. Well actually by recently I mean today. It's for my mom and grandma tommarow because they like lemon meringue pie. Well let me tell you I have seen my mom make this pie a million times! It is so much harder than it looks! First you have to start by making the lemon center. Well let me tell you it seemed like a breeze, until I was informed I had not cooked the middle enough on the stove. So I put it back on the stove brought it to a boil and started cooking it some more. Then I found out I had cooked the lemony good center too much. Yes that is right. I had just carmelized the middle of my lemon meringue pie! I was unaware of this fact until after I had put the lemon center into the pie. Well you also have to make a meringue for the top. Which isn't as hard, but at the same time I had a slight fail at this. Well you see we don't own an electric mixer anymore, we just have one of those large kitchen aid mixers. I thought that there wasn't enough meringue stuff for the big bowl. So I got a small bowl and put it up to the mixer. Bad idea kids! Bad bad bad idea! My arms hurt so bad! My fingers got hit by the beater! I got a few small cuts on my hand! Not a good idea! So then I was told that I could indeed use the big bowl for this task. Luckly there is no way you can mess up pre made pie crust! All I have left to do is bake the pie. Wish me luck! I don't want to mess this up too!

I guess what I'm trying to do here is say I know I can't do everything thing, heck I probably can't do half of what my mom does! I can try but like you see above I still need her help. No matter how old I get or no matter where I end up I'm always going to need my mom. Weither I need advice for cooking or need someone to help me move or anything, I know she'll always be there for me. I know that tommarow when she takes a bite out of the pie I made she'll say it tastes good, even though I'm pretty sure it's going to taste like lemony carmel with some whipped cream on top. My grandma will probably do the same too. I gotta say I've got two of the best ladies in my life!

All in all my final word in this blog is I love you mom and grandma! I'm so lucky to have you in my life! Now everyone else go spend tommarow with your mom and let her know how lucky you are to have her!

1.2.3. Like a Bird out of Sea

Well I have no clue who sings the song that this blog is named after, but it is indeed a country song. Isn't half bad either. Just seems fitting for today's blog. What's the subject you may ask? Well since it's spring I figure it's a great time for a love blog (FYI this is a subject I do not know much about but hey I'll try to give a little bit of a final word on this) and a whole bunch of bird references (FYI I know a lot more about birds. Not a ton, but I can tell a robin from a blue jay!)



Well I guess I'll start by comparing a bird to love. Which now that I think of it they both have a lot in common. For one they both have the ability to fly. Have you ever noticed that? When you're in love you feel like flying and you feel like your above the world, just like a bird is. It's like you can see all the good in the world and you can see the whole world in one instant. You can see the world from an amazing point of view. Up in the sky were your the only one who can bring you down.



Another thing they have in common is that birds can sing and love makes beautiful music. Have you ever noticed over half the songs on the radio are love songs? Well if you haven't your either:

A. A freak who doesn't listen to radio

B. You're listening to too many political radio talk shows

C. You listen to classical music or the christan radio station (Nothing wrong with that but try expanding your musical tastes)

D. Deaf

But anyway you have to have noticed this! Just turn on the radio for an hour and listen to how many love songs come on! They come on just one after another! It's crazy! I swear if I ever become a musical artist (I really don't have the talent but if I do!) I will never ever have an entire CD dedicated to love songs! (*cough cough* Taylor Swift *cough cough*)

Another thing is that only two things can kill a bird, other than natural causes. Those two things are hunters and preditors. Hunters being your lover, because they are they have the option to keep you flying while a preditor does not. Preditors are the people who want to see your relationship fail. In my humble opinion those people are the people you need to ignore.

Well guess the only thing is that the bird decides where it wants to go, just like you do.

Well that's my final word on how birds and love indeed do have stuff in common!
