Renew My Faith

Today I bought a RayVac usb battery charger. It came with two batteries but I thought I had proper batteries. So I slide two batteries in and an hour later I hear a hissing sound. I just looking around wondering where it is coming from then I smell something foul. I hear a loud pop and look down at the battery charger and liquid is pouring out of it. I was able to pull the charger out and get the batteries out putting them on my table beside me. Leaving a small brown spot where the batteries were. Thankfully myself, my computer or charger was not harmed.

This is no fault of the charger but my stupidity of putting in the wrong type of batteries. Next time I shall get the right batteries.

My mother called me from her work today telling me that several police cars where at her job. That her job was telling her if she spots anyone she does not know to tell someone. She also said several people were murdered.

I was going through some news sites and found some news about the murders. Very scary for a town that is not use to it.

On a bright side. Some stray kitten came onto our porch. Fed it some food and milk. Hopefully it stick around and my other cat does not run him off.

I have been looking for a space sim for a few days. Something similar to simcity but in space. Maybe a mission based sim. I have played an Atlantis sim long ago but no longer have the game.

I have Zoo Tycoon 2 and have played only a hour or so of it. I need to play more. Hopefully my search will return a few good games I can play as I take a break from Guild Wars.

It has been many a year since I have seen a decent fireworks show. Small family ones or just a small pack. It is always fun to celebrate something, especially what the 4th of July represents. I have never been a patriotic man and definitely not a nationalist. Having pride in ones country is arbitrary. I have never found it to useful to have pride in something you were born into. Pride in being an american, pride in being white, black. Being given something from birth is not really anything to be prideful about. If someone has pride of ones nation or even color then what if you were born in a different nation or different color. Would you still have pride of what you are? Nothing wrong with pride in itself but having pride over something that you were born with is silly.

A person should have pride that a nation gives freedom to everyone. Not just a select self-deemed rightful people. It is a shame that even a country that prides it self on having freedom still does not give it to everyone. It is a shame that we are losing more and more freedoms. That more and more laws that are said to protect us are simply oppressing us, simply doing more harm then good.

Happy 4th of July my friends.
