Hello world, let me introduce you to...

MY BFF GOOGLE!

It never ceases to amaze me how may people fail to utilize Google. Yesterday, one of my kids with a smartphone was like, "Uh, I need a dictionary." and I told them I didn't have one, so they asked me to look up a word, but I told them to use their phones to Google an online dictionary. (We weren't doing anything; it was the end of class.) and they were like, "OMG! I never would have thought of that!"

Really? Because I go to Google anytime I need answers, like, for real. It's not challenging or anything.

Then you have those on Facebook who seem to think that the "what are you doing?" bar is the Google bar, because they're like, "DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHEN THAT NEW MOVIE WITH TOM HANKS IS COMING OUT?"

Uh, do I look like Cinemark? No? Go to my BFF Google and find out...

...ok, fine, I'll find out for you, mkay?

Moral of the story?

MY BFF GOOGLE IS BETTER THAN YOUR BFF YAHOO.

A day in history.

Nearly 10 years after the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001, it has been announced that Al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden has been killed in Pakistan.

I'm probably one of the least-political people on the planet, because I just can't seem to maintain interest, but I do know how huge this is. This is a person who had so much hatred in his heart that he killed thousands of people---not just on September 11th, but people anyone that he deemed to be lesser than himself.

Sound familiar? Oh, right. There was that Hitler guy.

My main news source tends to be the local newspaper as well as links that are posted on Facebook. This is a fact about my life, and while some are probably cringing their noses, I don't really care. Scrolling through my newsfeed tonight has felt similar to the night that President Barack Obama was elected...people that were celebrating and people that were enraged, and today, it bothers me more than it did a couple of years ago.

Tonight, people in this nation are celebrating the victory of our soldiers that have been fighting hard and endlessly to protect our nation and our freedoms, but there are those that want to make it about their hate for politicians.

I wish people could look at the big-picture. I don't think that the "war on terror" is going to be over, because someone will surely try to take over for Osama bin Laden, but it's progress. Everyone just need to remember those that were victim to Osama bin Laden's hatred, and how his attacks on September 11th forever changed this country.

I do not feel that it's celebrating the fact that someone died as many people are saying...it's celebrating that our again has a sense of strength. With everything that has been happening in the world in the last year, I think that many Americans are feeling like there is little to celebrate these days. They're celebrating that we're actually succeeding in what we are fighting for. I bet that Al Qaeda celebrated on September 11th. Two wrongs don't make a right, but if I think it's safe to say that people were pleased when Hitler killed himself.

Or do you have to kill 6 million people for that to be ok?
