amazing things

On June 25 I will be 25 years old, that means it will be my magical birthday. if you know me buy me an expensive present, just kidding. being 25 is not really scary, i've experienced great things getting married, the great wall, the eiffel tower, as well as horrific things like worms, colitis, and depression. on a side note dont you hate when you leave underewear or socks in you pants and wear them the next day and the then the underwear falls out of your pant leg. this year i will be starting a revolution aimed at building relationships. my inner sadness deepens, or does it?

Who enjoys a nice juicy burger every now and then? I sure do, except for the time the burger gave me worms (which was 2 days ago). Based on empirical data, if you do not cook your ground beef to 170 degress farenheit (why stores use the farenheit scale also gets me quite upset), there is a possibility of getting worms. but it really got me thinking about relationships because i think about this topic alot. some view worms as parasites, and this is not a healthy relationship. do we view other people in our lives as parasites? take for example my sister jill, what a great gal but i often feel like she sucks the life right out of me. (just joking jill, you're the only one that reads my blog anyway) but seriously we need to start symbiotic relationships with people both parties must benefit or the parasite will suck every living ounce of strength out of you. basically i'd like to start a revolution with my worms. why can't we work together and coexist? why can't we work out a deal in which we will mutually benefit? Most people would say it is because worms can't speak english or communicate. Wait a minute! I don't want worms! I now believe the best course of action is to see a doctor who will give me some pills to eternally banish these vile worms from my digestive tract and collon. Farewell my pets, farewell. (Actually I hope they don't fare well)

Anyone who knows me, knows I've been quite upset with the political situation in Iran. What is up with that government? Their human right record is atrocious and is a cause for great concern. Their upcoming election is a farce and is just a scheme to get western countries to stop judging them. To protest this sham election I am now boycotting all Iranian goods. Who will join me? If it says "made in iran" do not buy it. How will you be able to live with yourself? Basically I feel life is about relationships and we need to start a revolution, this new way of thinking will quickly spread to Iran like a wild fire, burning their current form of government and leaving the ashes of a beautiful democracy.
