Wow, I Exist

I had forgotten that this portion of my blogspot existed. I am not used to blogspot because I never actually use it (and I have about five other online 'blogs', Livejournal and Greatestjournal being my favorites). Well, here I am...Now what am I supposed to talk about?

Well, I suppose since this is my blog I should talk about myself (that doesn't seem to be a very intriguing topic to me). First of all, today I went out 'shopping' (which for me means finding one item that costs a dollar or less, normally a book, and then sitting in the car for the rest of the day and reading while the other people I am with purchase mass quantities of unnecessary items) and I found Joan Osbourne's 'Relish' cd at Goodwill for $1. As I looooove that cd very much and feel that fate guides me to the cd's of my past whenever I am in Goodwill, I splurged and purchased it. I also purchased the book The Making of Mankind by Richard E. Leakey for $1. After that I felt guilty because I could have fed three and a half children in another country or adopted a giraffe for that money. Okay, adopting giraffes is a bit more pricey, but I'm sure there is a fund somewhere in the world in which I could have adopted some creature (an amoeba perhaps) for $2. Or a sapling. I could have donated it to the Rainforest Preservation Fund. Or Save the Whales. But I didn't. I spent it on myself. Because I am a fat, selfish, greedy American.

But I exist. And that is a good thing.

After I got back from 'shopping' my family ate dinner (I mention this because some families don't get to eat dinner every night, some families don't even technically have families, which would be like saying they didn't have themselves). Then my cousin and I sorted through boxes and boxes of the cosmetics that my family sells in our store.

Now I am online collecting photographs for my newest project: making movies in windows movie maker in order to spread awareness to others on various subjects. I have my first one up, here, watch it (that's not a request, that's a command): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCy_RA4OoXE. My computer is a big douchasaurus so it took a long time to load.

Tis all for the evening.
