Lets catch up on the world

I realize that lately my blog has been me, me, me. I'm sorry about that. I've been treating it as kind of a journal to help get my ideas out and such but I'll fill you in on what has been going on in the world lately. The Olympics' have been going on and although I haven't really watched I hear they've been pretty good. A big win for the U.S. was beating Canada at hockey. Their the best as you would imagine and its amazing that we managed to beat them at that. America has a total of 36 medals, 9 of which are gold and right behind us at second place is Germany who has a total of 29 medals, 10 that are gold. In my spanish class we have a german exchange student and her side of the class have been really competing with her on the whole olympic thing. She takes it well though. I don't think I would be able to go to school in a foreign country. We also have exchange students from paraguay and one of the boys came and played his instrument for us on friday. It was a hard, but it was wooden and shaped completely different. It also had a different sound, so it wasn't really boring classical music. It was really upbeat salsa type music that they call polka. Not Steve Erkel Polka but Paraguan polka.

It has been pretty boring in the celebrity world but a lot of them are currently putting a ring on it. Carrie Underwood is engaged to the NFL player Mike Fisher. I am happy for her. Now she has someone to sing those love songs too and weddings are always fun. Hillary Duff is engaged to a hockey player which is also good news. It seems like yesterday when Hillary was the Hannah Montana of our time. Its amazing how fast time goes by. Katy Perry has of course been engaged for a while, I don't really like her fiance though.

Recently there was this whale attack. I saw something on CNN about it. The lady was blond in a scuba diver outfit and she had her hair in a ponytail. She works for sea world and does those shows where you play with the whale and ride on its back and get it to do all kinds of things. Well the whale caught her ponytail and what happened next is kind of unsure. I know for a fact that she's dead and there were people watching it happen. I feel bad for all those people who were of course in shock and ran screaming. This whale in particular had killed 2 other people before. So their debating on whether to kill it or not. I am personally not the kind of person who really feels for animals. I don't know why but its never been in me. I think they shouldn't kill it, but they should put it back to the wild where the only thing it can eat is other animals. Cause if they do kill it what if it eats someone else in the process. I really admire those people who go into animal fields. it takes some guts.

There was also an earthquake in Chile yesterday. My prayers go out to all those people and their families. This world is turning into a scary play. Two earthquakes within two months. What exactly does this mean? Is it the fact that we aren't caring for the environment enough? Or is it something else out of our control. We also had an interesting conversation over dinner a few weeks back when we had some extended "Family" over. We were debating on who causes earthquakes, God or the Devil. I never really thought about it but within the same religions some people thing that everything good or bad is the plan of God. And then others think that if something is bad God didn't cause it it was the devil. I don't really know where my standing is but I would like to believe I believe in a God who loves his people and hates to see them suffer. A forgiving God who can see past the mistakes that we make while we are on earth. But I don't know, Its one of those things that will remain un-answered.
