Post No. 21 : What's that you say?

Hello everyone. Jeez, it’s been almost a month since i’ve blogged so...hiiiii ^_^. Okay, so here is a little update on my life ; I’ve been caught up with school and work and getting things done early or on time and working on Print Comp and my portfolio AH! So much stuff to do. Oh also, I have to start doing research for TWO different group presentations and working on a photojournalism essay. BLAH! I better get right on top of that. Anyways, two “beefs’ but nothing too serious.

The other day I was sitting on the bus with my friend Cassy and we were just sitting there, minding our own business. These two girls sitting in front of us were just talking away loudly about random things and at one point, we saw one of the local soliders walking around in his uniform and she goes to say “That is so stupid. Why would you walk around in your uniform?”, “Why are their uniforms green? It’s not like there is a forest here in Canada. They should be different colours, maybe white or something”, “You don’t need an education to shoot a gun, I could do it if it was up to me”, “What are these retreats they go on? They don’t do anything other than hang out with each other”. Etc etc.

Why would this girl say something like that?! I don’t exactly understand what her prerogative is but that was uncalled for and unnecessary. There isn’t a problem with people walking around in their uniforms. It’s a thing called Pride. People have pride in what they are doing for their country. The colour of the uniform, duh, when will the Canadian Army be fighting IN Canada. Idiot. Don’t need an education to shoot a gun? Maybe not but those guys know their stuff. Pretty sure that is why they are there learning about different things. Ugh. Retreats, they probably don’t tell you anything important because it wasn’t “exciting” in their mind. Why not talk about the funny things that happen inbetween each course and stuff. Ya know?

Anyways, that’s really it for now. I’ll type some other fun stuff later. MY BIRTHDAY! W00T! =]

Thanks.
