First Post Here (and some background)
Hi everybody, it's good to be here among fellow open-minded yet mostly positive people like myself.
I am 25 years old and a journalist who mostly wanted to write about sports...I ended up going to a fine college in the most heavily-Arabic area in the United States per capita and that helped open my eyes to everything.
I was pro-Iraq war at first because I remember watching a story on the history channel about the gulf and my dad was like "If we had taken out Saddam back then we'd be doing fine today" or something, so I agreed that we should go to Iraq and take him out.
Boy was I wrong.
Strangely enough it was my group, the Society of Journalists' event that brought Michael Moore to campus that really opened my eyes. The video of suffering Iraqi civilians sparked me to research what the *#% was really going on and what our motives were.
I had always been scared of aliens growing up and was always a believer...I was afraid to sleep on my top bunk bed near the window because of abduction shows I had seen (some logic) and slept on the floor.
Where am I going with this? Not quite sure...nor am I sure what's going on in the world. I consider myself a very spiritual person now and I usually follow my instinct...right now I am feeling worried a bit on the inside yet strangely calm at the same time.
All I hope is that things don't get life threatening for a few years so I can make enough money to move out and begin planning for the real craziness that could possibly come...please tell me I have a couple years or so until *#*& really hits the fan...!?
I live in SE Michigan in a middle-class neighborhood 30 min from Detroit.
More to come in future posts about my background including one (potentially) really interesting coincidence I discovered last night `-`
