Today I got a little scare trying to do today's post.
You see, apperently Blogger has gone all Google. I was surpised they took my Yahoo! e-mail account in the first place, but didn't think too much on the subject. When I tried to log in for my third post, however, the sign in screen proclaimed it's Google-change, and asked me to log in with my Google account. I stared at my screen for a minute thinking, "Well, Blogger, say that some of your millions of bloggers don't have a Google account. What then?" Well, actually, there was a place to put your old one and get a Google account. I sighed, but started to type in my account. It was all a big jumble of e-mail, password, account kind of stuff until FINALLY...I figured out that you can just put anything under the Google account sign in. But don't computers have somewhat of a reputation of that? I mean, at least I always figured that since it's not a human, it doesn't make mistakes. I'm pretty sure this is the public opinion, but we have to all remember something. It was made by humans. It's a human invention. Problems with your download, or a glitch on a website, or a computer that doesn't let you put .avi files on Windows Movie Maker which is ABSURD...(*cough*) are truely, trivial. I just completed a book called Three Cups of Tea that tells the tale of a real American hero, Greg T., continues to risk his life constantly to fly to Pakistan and build schools for girls. He has a wife and two kids at home that he rarely can spend time with because he is trying to avoid mines. Americans, dare I say, take life a little bit for granted. It's an unfortunate fact, and there are so many ways that we can help the world to be a better place for everyone. Greg's organization, Pennies For Peace, asks that you only send pennies in to help people in need. I hope everyone does this knowing that every cent is going to a good cause.

Well, that's all. Now to try and get the spilt-bottle-of-pure-Vicks out of my room!
