I'm not sure what to think.

I went with Ross, Jake, Bonnie, and my mother to Bay City yesterday. Ross and I watched Pirates of the Caribbean on his new portable DVD player on the way there and back. Then when we were there, Ross, Jake, and I saw Meet The Fockers... it was alright... quite entertaining... somewhat painful at times. Jake unintentionally snuck into the theater twice. I thought that was a little humorous but Ross got annoyed with Jake instead of seeing the humor. When we returned home, Ross helped me deliever some Christmas presents to some people. I hope they did not dislike their gifts.

Stargate is addicting. I watched about 10 episodes today I think. Stargate sometimes brings up certain issues that are applicable, or at least interesting to think about. ...issues of morality, what is right for a society, changing others way of life to one's own "superior" method, and, strangely enough, Thucydides' conflict of justice vs. expediancy. Maybe I will lay out my thoughts more clearly at a later time.

Apparently, there was an earthquake and tsunami. I was unaware, but now I am not. It reminded me of something that I heard when I was in Jr. High... We were watching some movie in one of my science classes about something they were using to predict stuff and I remember that they said there would be a big earthquake in 2004, but I thought it was supposed to be in California. Well, they got the year right or something.

I have been contemplating the purpose of blogs. Some use blogs like a journal to tell of their day, their life... some use blogs to vent their feelings to world that is not obligated to listen... some use blogs to share their observations and musings of the world around them... some use blogs to entertain... some use blogs as a means of conversing with others... and some use blogs for a completely different purpose still. Which is the true purpose of blogs? Which format is the most normal, conventional, and accepted and, at the same time, the most interesting? This seems paradoxical, as originality is frequently connected with interest. I don't know what to think about blogs... a public journal, similar to a newsletter of one's life, updated frequently... and yet it's not.
