I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Don't get me wrong, I think a lot normally. But this is the introverted analytical thinking. I've been thinking a lot about the people I know and what motivates them at different times and different places. Nothing special has come of it I just noticed I'm doing it more. My Mom says that I've always been able to understand people better than others. I think what set it off was the stuff with Amber last week, the death of Ronald Reagan, and having coffee with my dad and brother on Monday. Nothing special has come from my ponderings. Nothing earth shattering or anything like that. Something that kinda blew my mind though was something I heard on the radio while driving in to work on Tuesday morning. Glenn Beck had asked people to call him up if they were on the communist side of the Iron Curtain during Reagan's presidency. He had lots of people call in from East Germany, and Yugoslovia and Ukraine. One of the things that they said was that they would hear Reagan on the radio illegally. They said that when they would hear him talk about democracy and wanting everyone to be free, they would be so inspired that they would want their own country to colapse. They would want their own government to colapse. I cannot imagine this!! Maybe it's because I'm an American. But even when I didn't like our leader and figurehead I still wouldn't want my own country to fail. I can't imagine not loving my country. But I guess if I wasn't free to make my own deciscons and have my own faith it would be different. I'm beginning to see more and more of a connection between oldschool communists from the 60s-70s and the liberal left today. Here's a great example Communist Agenda from 1963. That kind of thing makes me so happy to be in a country that I can love and be proud of.
Aside from thinking a lot I've been hanging out with John a good bit and just basically chilling out. At work things have been deader than dead. I have taken to reading the comic that Kate likes so much called 8-bit theatre. It can be really funny in parts. But after a while the humor got kind of old. Of course that might have just been me reading it for about three hours straight. I'm about half way through, and he really needs something a little more original. The way it looks, I'll probably finish them today lol. That's all for now, I will update again at least once before Sunday. Maybe more because I anticipate being at home and bored a lot during the graduation. So until then take care.

PS. I love you Kate and I miss you.
