The World Cup isn't the only big going on in South Africa

So I stumbled on this news article and I couldn't help but think that what I was reading was not true. There is a town that wants to stay with whites only! What?!??! I still don't see how that is true. I guess there will always be racism in the world. It's a town called Orania in South Africa.

Since I didn't believe what I was reading I started to look up more about this country and found this article, it is from 2003 so the information may not be as up to date as the first one but still it is a crazy thing.

I know that I have joked about racism and my friends say crappy things about other races but I wouldn't have thought that in 2010 there was still a town that didn't allow black people into.

This was on my mind all day yesterday and I talked to so many people about to get there opinions on the issue. So let me know what you think I am fascinated by this idea and how I don't think it should be happening.

I did what Rick Mitchell told me to do.

So yesterday was the crazyness of the flood of 2010! And I did survive, Thank you! I didn't attempt to go out in though I just stayed at home with the pup and cleaned watched the news about those that drove through and took a nap. Pretty
exciting rainy day I must say. But the weather man told to stay at home and not leave unless I had to. Which I didn't so it was fine by me.

Watching the news I saw a man that got stuck on a road and the fire rescues had to save him and he was dumping water out of his car. I couldn't imagine being stuck in my car with water coming all around me.

My friend that was in Edmond was okay the water never got into her house thankfully, but I do have some friends at my church that got 4' in their house. So clean up begins for them. And anyone wanting to help them of course.

I was a little nervous though seeing Penn and Memorial flooded and Lake Walmart cause that was where I was headed when I had to go to work. I work at the Best Buy there and people were coming in with computers that didn't know what to do with because they had water damage on them. The funniest part of the night though was those buying TVs in the rain! Seriously?!?!? Oh well not my problem.

Glad everyone is safe! Hope you stayed dry yesterday.

History in the making

So I went to bed around 2 or 3 last night and there was no rain at all. Now we are on a flash flood warning!

My friend that is Edmond just had the Fire Rescue come by to make sure they were okay and that if the storm keeps up they will be evacuated. That is crazy! I hope she is okay and everyone else.

As the news shows all these Jeeps and trucks stuck in water I know my car wouldn't have made it out of the apartment complex.

New Fun

So as I am sitting here all I can think about is my new puppy!!! His name is Charlie and I didn't want to leave him this morning. He feel asleep in my lap while I browsing the internet before class, not like we hadn't just woken up 2 hours ago.

I was nervous when I was going to have to tell my parents what I had got for myself. But they fell in love with him as soon as he came over! Who wouldn't fall in love with that face!

He took that photo this morning with my webcam. He looked up just in time.

I am super excited. Still trying to figure out if he will be a good cacher or will just sleep?

Do I remember?

Even though I was only in kindergarten when the bombing happened downtown I still remember the day. We in Mrs. Myers class playing around when the whole room shook. No one knew what was going on until another lady came down to the room to see if everyone was alright.

Everyone was okay in our room but still no one knew what happened. I don't know when I realized that such a horrible man had out a bomb downtown and killed so many people. We visited the Murrah Building and saw the chain link fence with pictures of people who where in the building when the bomb went off.

I still cannot believe how a horrible thing can bring a city together. The fence will always remain in my head even when I go down there now and see what is left of the fence I imagine how long it used to be and how many memories were placed on it. When I was visiting I wanted to leave something behind but all I had were bracelets on my arm. So I left one.

Do I remember? Yes, yes I do. I may not have understood what was going on that morning in April to a 5 year old it was just the start on spring time and getting to play outside, but to so many others it was a tragic day for them.

My old roommate and me had different tastes in Music

Singing Follow ME!

I have decided to follow a few blogs that I feel are very interesting! The first one is http://www.macworld.com/ . It is all about Apple's latest gadgets and dohickies that they put out. I wanted to follow Apple because I am an Apple enthusiast. On June 24 I am hoping that my phone is available for an upgrade cause the new iPhone looks BOMB! Can't wait to see it in person. I did find it funny that the demonstration messed up (sorry Steve) I know that they didn't want to make AT&T look bad or anything.

I have also found a few cachers that are blogging as well. There is one in Tulsa http://crustygasguy.blogspot.com/ and his interesting because it is not just caching it has what is going on in his world.
