Amir

is a coward, which is probably why Baba doesnt like him as much as Hassan.
Thats pretty much what I got from the book, that Amir is not as good a person as Hassan. Amir is jealous of Hassan about the respect he gets from Baba,so much so that he frames Hassan and has him sent away. This event will influence the rest of his life, in that he feels guilty and wants to find a way to make up for it.

i enjoyed the kite runner, i hope i like this one

story

I really cant think of a story for this, it just reminds me the the scene with the special forces in the gully in the movie 'clear and present danger', as theyre chased by a hundred or so members of some south american military.
I have no idea what this guy is doing, probably some courier service, maybe practicing for if radios arent working, i have no idea.


and now the picture button isnt working...

oh now it is

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good people do nothing.

I believe this is one of the most true quotes there is. It has been proven too many times in history, and yet again, I can use this picture of chamberlain because it is exactly what this quote applies to.

decisions

some decisions i have made in the past determine where i am now and what decisions i have now to make. one of the most influential decisions has been becoming a volunteer firefighter. Because of that, I have chosen to go to college for Fire Protection Engineering. I believe that it is a good decision to make, because there are more people with those in demand, than there are available, so I will be able to have a career very soon after i graduate with a degree.

a not so creative title , Afghanistan

2 gallons of un-arid able land
a cup of the worlds lowest living standards
a gallon of foreign aid
some oil
do not add government

mix until somebody causes trouble and the world has to deal with it, but then everyone hates the country that actually does something about it

My normal spring break...

...was mediocre. It was average in the sense that I spent a standard amount of times doing run of the mill things. The weather was ordinary so I casually walked. Entertainment was typical. I am quickly running out of synonyms to the word average.
So now this comment post will end, as usual.
