adios bin laden.

Today in history, we talked about Osama Bin Laden's death.
Which eventually morphed into a discussion about humanity, with most of the people trying to extend our conversation for the duration of the entire class period.
Our air-head of a teacher realized what was going on (half an hour later) and finally led us back into the topic of the Civil War.

I'm not sure how I feel about his death.
I'm certainly happy that he's gone and won't go around bombing any more civilians. But seeing all these celebrations about him dying just feels so incredibly wrong.

You shouldn't have a party because someone died.

I guess I'm too young to really understand what is truly right and wrong.
At this moment, him dying feels right, after the horrible things he did to thousands of people.
But the celebrations feel wrong.

I think I still need some time to think this over.

average.

I'm average.
I'm not phenomenal at anything.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying I'm bad at life.
I'm just average.

And being average is hard. You don't stand out. You don't get special attention.

Which led me to reason that all I have to do is be really good at something nobody else does.
But after a few days of thinking, I realized that everything is taken.
And if it wasn't, doing it would get me no respect.

Like the bagpipes.
I feel like people would label me as a freak if they saw an asian playing the bagpipes. I know I would.

My solution?
Move to another country.
Like Ukraine. I've heard good things about that place.
