My Right.

All this talk about guns and the restriction thereof is such a ridiculous mess. It is all about control. Not gun control, government control. Anyway, I don't want to talk about it too much because it makes my quite angry! I promise an in depth post about how unconstitutional this (and pretty much everything that our socialist president has done) is. I also want to inform the world that I am officially a registered member of the NRA (National Rifle Association)!! Loud and proud baby! Chicago has some of the most strict gun laws in the nation. It is January 18th. In Chicago there have been 27 homicides and 94 people shot. How are those gun laws working out for them? *In case you are too daft to realize that the question was rhetorical--it's NOT working out for them.* Wake up America. Get an education and take a stand. If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.

2012

I can't believe I'm already doing a "wrap up" post about 2012! I feel like it just started. Oh well. Here is everything that happened to me during the past year.

1) I started and completed my first YEAR in college
2) I learned how much I truly love my family and  how deeply I miss them when we aren't together
3) I went to a Nickelback concert in SLC
4) I went to a Boys Like Girls, Parachute, and All-American Rejects concert in Blackfoot Idaho
5) I worked the most horrid job ever invented: A call center
6) I got fat
7) I changed my major
8) I decided to make my dream to go to Europe actually happen
9) I decided to take a religious stand
10) I learned how to be independent
11) I learned that I need to think about who I am dating because it actually matters
12) I learned that every time that my parents have said "you're going to look back and say to yourself 'ya know? Mom and dad were right!' " well....they were right. *Don't tell them I said that*
13) I have gained maturity
14) I learned how to laugh at my mistakes
15) I learned to push through the pain
16) I have learned that there must be opposition in all things
17) I have learned that I don't like nasty politics
18) I experienced my first real honest-to-goodness heart break
19) I have learned how to forgive and let go
20) I decided to let the past stay in the past
21) I have learned to ignore what other people say, think, and do. It's not my problem. Let them be

There is probably more. I am just not that focused right not. Over all I have had an amazing year and I don't think I even recognize the person that I was this time last year. Here is to 2012, the start of 2013, new beginnings, and growing for the better.
