Feeling Froggy.

Update..I'm still the same as when I updated the other day. Everything is pretty ok. The weather here in Brown County Ohio is fucked up, today it's windy. Wind up to 45 mph. Which I guess doesn't compare to the hurricane that's happening in FL and whatnot, but still I'm in rural freakin' OHIO and I'm feeling it. Lol. So, due to that all the electricity was out at all the stores, SO I don't have my pictures printed out for my photography class tomorrow. Big uh oh. Hopefully, I can get it done somehow before class tomorrow. Other than that I'm ready for yet another busy week of school.

Other thoughts...OMG! Palin's daughter is pregnant! Did you guys hear that? LOL. I'm sure you have. I have to get this off my chest though, yeah she may be what we consider young, but I'm going to defend this youngster. Let's think about it this way just for a second, bare with me, we are animals. What are animals meant to do? RIIIGHT. Reproduce. So, it's in our nature to use or reproductive system...it's what it's there for. Let's think back oh Idk no less than 100 years, which isn't that long if you really think about it. Girls were married by 12 years old tops. Yeah, only a 100 years ago. It's still in our nature, I mean we as people haven't evolved that much. Remember when you started taking an interest in boys or girls (whatever garden you dig in)? I betcha it was somewhere between 9-14 give or take for the weirdo's of the world. haha. Yeah, so can we really blame this girl? I'm sick of hearing about it honestly. I mean she was doing what her very nature was telling her to do. Now, I'm not trying to say she doesn't have the capacity to know better, or take precautions to ward off pregnancy, but all that is a matter of perception. I mean, c'mon it's really not that uncommon. Which is actually ironic because it's more ironic now than ever to have a "young" parent. I mean, we don't think of it that way, but most people back in the day were married by the time that we graduated HS nowadays. And it's more uncommon for young girls to get pregnant now because is so frowned upon by society. Young pregnancy became a taboo because we have so many more opportunities in the now. Women have no "role" we don't have to get married, sit around and be the bearer of children. So, people want and expect more. So, really does this pregnancy make this young girl such a bad person? Should we really put her through this. And does this situation actually mean that her mother is a bad mother? I don't agree with any of it. I give them props for dealing with the situation at hand, and with all the extra pressure due to the media. I say give the family a damn break.

That's my rant for this evening. If you agree, good we're peachy. If you don't, well really I don't care. I'll update soon!
