Day three

Let me tell you about today May 02, 2011.

I am Lazy, I woke up around 12 for no reason, I wasn’t tired still, I wasn’t sore from running a marathon like all my friends were. I was simply set on sleeping in. it’s such a rare event for me, I mean the only time I have to sleep in is over breaks, I enjoy it. After waking up I checked my phone and there was the news for today. Bin Laden is dead. All my texts were people telling me the news and how happy they were. Even then I didn’t feel right. I got out of bed and got ready for the day; today I went to the library to get Internet, such a blessing. I have missed it so. Don’t get me wrong I can live without facebook and everything. I just miss my friends. While I was there CNN was on the little T.V. in the corner. As you can guess the news was about the death of Bin Laden. Again I tuned it out and got back to the friends that I have missed. There are few places to go in Allen; we have a grocery store, the library, a gas station, church, and a card shop. Back in high school I was quite the dueling champ when it came to card games, yea I was a bit of a nerd. So I headed over to the tiny house of cards and thought I would poke my head in. I’ve never been into the hardcore stuff though like D&D and L5r or whatever it is. I listen to them talk about their fantasy lives and how each of them would play if they were only a couple levels higher. I felt out of place and odd. So I left. I arrived back here, in the very room I am sitting in now. I sat and thought. Thought some more then my grand mother arrived home. She’s the coolest. She watched wheel of fortune a show where she is the boss at! The puzzle only had three letters and she guessed it right. She’s the smartest! She made awesome dinner tonight as well. I’m glad she’s here. I don’t feel as alone. Then finally the news came on we watched it silently. She was working on a logic puzzle and wasn’t paying to much attention about the news of bin laden’s death. I just don’t see the joy in his death, I know he’s an awful person but I don’t justice in shooting him down. As a Christian I know he’s probably in hell. And I don’t feel like celebrating that. I mourn over it. Everywhere I have looked today the people of this world have been over turned with joy. When all there is to celebrate is death. Where have we gone, why don’t we celebrate the rising of the sun, the lowering of crime, the simple joys of waking up. Instead we stand pitchforks ready at the gallows of a man. Today we took the life of a man. I’m not ready to celebrate, I don’t know if I will ever be ready to. I know it’s un-American, but I don’t care. Justice is at the root of all our souls we should seek it out in the darkest times. Not be over ran with the thoughts of vengeance and revenge. I don’t want a death to define this time in American history, I don’t want to look back at some of the happiest times in my life and be reminded of what our nation did during those times. Why couldn’t we have chosen the high road, could we not have captured him, gave him a fair trial. I’m just confused. All I know is that man is not God, I don’t feel that we have the right or the choice to take another persons life, regardless of how unspeakable the deed is.
