Today is one of those wonderful days when my alarm went off and I just din't believe it. When you wake up and just think, "No.. Thats not right.. It's still sleep time!" So the working week is upon me again and I'm genuinely unimpressed lol.
Yesterday was a weird day, I was very unsettled, couldn't sit still and something inside me snapped which induced a giant cleaning session. I think that was just because I'd had a whole two days off and didn't really know what to do with myself. We didn't end up camping over the weekend but had a good time anyway then came back to the comfort of an actual real bed!
I had a bit of a moral conflict yesterday due to the death of Osama Bin Laden. The way I've managed to rationalize it so far is that while I am very happy that the leader and figure head of a terrorist organization has been removed from power, it doesn't sit right with me to "celebrate" the death of another man, regardless of how evil that man was. I am glad that America have (supposedly) respected his religion and buried him within 24 hours of his death. Other people have said that it was wrong and they should have kept his body for identity checks. As long as they have taken enough DNA and pictures etc then I think conforming with religion was a very good idea. To deny a man his religion, even in death is a breach of human rights. We are condemning this man for taking away thousands of people's human rights, the right to live and also the right to live without fear. To deny him his last rights of burial would be dropping to his level. It is my opinion that the world is not a "safer place" as some politicians have been saying, I imagine there will be quite a large retaliation. You can't expect to shoot the figure head of a violent organization without back lash. Ok, I'm done with politics now!
I tried Lebanese food for the first time last night, turns out I'm really not a big fan. :/
I'm quite looking forward to going home tonight, my girlfriend is staying at mine while I'm at work and I'm excited to see her as soon as I get in :) It's going to be lush :D
I'm with you on that! Celebrating someone's death is madness. End of story. I pretty much read a paragraph of my own views reworded bysomeone else haha :P Glad I'm not the only one though :)
