Everyone needs time to think and when they do normaly they have a place that they go to, a place they feel comfortable and a place that they know they can really get some thinking done at. This pic here ... this is my rock. Ok .. it might not be MY rock but it is where I go to think. Its my little place I go to get away from it all.
I LOVE IDAHO! This place, this school, these people, I really have never been happier then being here. I have had many disscussions with people about why they came here. Why would so many people choose to come to this school over provo? Its way colder, theres not as much out here, theres not as many major options...the list goes on.
There is something about being here that many agree with me. No its not becuase our nick name is BYU-I DO its the "Spirit of Ricks". There is just this indescibabul feeling you get being on that campus, in the classes, around the people. I wouldnt want to be any place but out here. I really do think it is one of the best places on earth and if I had a choice to stay out here year round or go home, for the 6th month brake I would choose to stay out here.
I have nothing back in TX .. the only thing back in TX for me is my cat .. my little baby boy who i miss with all my heart!!
I miss my mommy...Thats one of the main reasons i go home. i know that if i chose to stay out here because i say there is nothing there for me it would break her heart. i have mentioned not going home before and i saw tears come to her eyes. i love that woman with all my heart! She is my hero and i look up to her more then anyone here on this earth.
I dont know what came over me to make me write this one ... maybe just major bordum ... but i guess thats what it came down to ...
OH so i have to share this...for my history class our groups had to rewrite the Declaration of Inedpendice and well this is what we came up with .... enjoy!
Declaration of Independence
In many difficult trials it becomes necessary for a group to put an end to political ties which have connected them with another and to reestablish independence the position which natural laws allow, thus stated are the opinions of many men for separation.
We state these obvious truths that all men are created equal and are given god given rights, that these rights are life, liberty, and finding happiness. To protect these rights governments among men are established receiving authority from the governed. When any form of government does not respect these rights it is the right of the people to eradicate this connection and to establish a new government and to institute a new government that will protect the rights necessary for their safety and happiness. Governments will not be change for light reasons, with much evidence men are more easily swayed to suffer, rather than change what they are accustomed to. Since they are so accustomed to suffering for such long periods it is their right to separate from such governments, and provide better protection for their rights. With much such patience the colonies have suffered and now it is necessary to change the form of government. The history of monarchy is a history of abuse and of long suffering, to prove this just ask the thirteen colonies.
This is what the King did…
- Took away the laws to help the public good prosper and be safe.
- Has not given us the right to change the laws that have become a need to be changed.
- Has refused to change the laws.
- Made our right to a trial and hearing almost unattainable and so extravagant in travel on purpose so that we might forfeit the right ourselves because it’s so obscene to do what we are being asked to obtain that right.
- Threatens to take away our representation for us if we openly rebel against him
- Refusing to give any of us over here power to do what is best for us.
- Forebode more people to settle in the colonies.
- Refusing to let us take care of our business here.
- Paying off the Judges that we do have here to do HIS WILL not what is best for us.
- We were forced to accommodate Britten’s Army from our own pocket.
- Even in time of peace we are still stuck with the army, and forced babysit them.
- Won’t let us have our own military, forcing his on us.
- Giving the troops more rights then we have.
- Giving the troops more rights because they are with us.
- Protecting his troops from all punishments-making them above the law.
- Taking away our ability for trade and forced to only have things from Britten.
- Adding on mass taxes making it cost more for us to have our necessities.
- Taking away our right for a trial by jury.
- Making us travel all over the flipping world just to take care of a small, tiny, little issue.
- Taking away any and all rights and privileges that we rightfully have as English citizens and making our lives a living hell because he knows that we have any and every chance to rebel against and become a free nation.
- Taking away all that we have and declaring his right and reign over us.
- Saying he doesn’t and can’t protect us, then attacks us knowing that we can’t defend ourselves because he has taken everything away from us and won’t let us have the rights to protect ourselves.
- After making all his laws and rules over us, he wages war on us; destroying everything we have even to the point of our lives.
- As we speak sending a people over to finish the job he tried to accomplish with all his insane laws and persecutions against us. He is the worst leader of all time!!
- He has forced and captured our fellow citizens and has made them turn against their old friends, brethren and motherland.
- He has caused disturbance among us, he has caused our native savages to turn against us with their great power.
- We have repeatedly protested in the most humble way. Our repeated protests have only been answered with violence. A ruler, whose character is the definition of a dictator is not fit to rule a free country let alone the great and powerful motherland.
- We have not been asking for extra attention. We have warned them numerous times of their satanic ways. We have reminded them of circumstances of our establishment. We have requested of from their justice and we have reminded them of our heritage, they have not listened or hearkened unto our pleas. We must therefore take what is rightfully ours!! Stand up and fight.
- We the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, gathered together to appeal to the Supreme Judge of the world in the name of the good people of these Colonies, concerning our God given rights. We declare that these united Colonies are, and have a right to be free independent states, that they have the right to undo all ties and connections with Britain. And as free independent states with a power to declare war, conclude peace, create alliances, and to establish commerce and to do all the things that states are allowed to do. And for the support of this declaration we have asked these fine men that helped in making this declaration, and we pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
