snowy icy and rainy day

So it is a friday afternoon, December 19th. I have just wrapped up another semester in college. Hopefully, it will be a successful one. But anyway, what is there to do on a crappy day like today? well since it is only days left until the big event: Christmas....I thought I would bake. So I am spending my day with music blasting in my house as I bake chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal cookies and peanut butter cookies....mmmm yum. I am decorating in between that as well as wrapping Christmas presents. It is the perfect weather to just stay inside and bake all day.

Since I like to multitask I figure I would do some blogging as well. The hot topic of this week seems to be the fact that President Bush dodged two shoes during a press conference in Iraq this past weekend. In my opinion, no matter how much you dislike another country's president you should never throw a shoe at him, let alone two. To many people he is being called a hero. To other a brave man. To others one of the most stupidest people to ever walk the planet. No matter how much someone disagrees with the president, his policies, his administration etc, it does not warrant shoes being throw. However, in a sense it is a little funny. I think it is great how Bush dodged the shoes. Both times no less. Some people wonder if it was planned. I do not think you can plan that kind of matrix-like dodge that Bush did. Anyway nonetheless, in Middle Eastern culture it is a great sign of disrespect to have a shoe thrown at you.

In New York, during a meeting with the MTA just a few short days after the Bush shoe throwing incident, a man did the same thing with the head of the MTA. He shouted out "you made $300,000 last year" and threw a shoe at him. The man was immediately removed from the room.

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA either situation is so laughable. Have some respect for people. What happened to this world? we resort to throwing our shoes??
