Even though the people of the afflicted countries in Bush's "War on Terror" are so clearly suffering, we are inundated with assurances that American involvement is only doing good. Even if these videos never make it to the media, you are one more person who will know. American news outlets won't show this.

With it, I have to find a job, locate a place to live, find transportation, and create a monthly budget. In addition, each day I'll be given a card with either ad positive event, like a bonus, or a negative event, like repair bills, and I have to calculate them into the budget.

The first post of my new blog! I had an older account here, but its username is uber-associated with the 12-year-old, online jerk that I was, and I really don't want that following me as I turn eighteen and approach university. Plus, I want this blog to be something that my family and friends can read to keep up with me even while I'm far, far away.

Except now I'm going to have to customize everything from scratch all over again.

Oh well. Good things take time and work. :)
