#436 - Go the distance (2?)

So what's happened recently:

- V came over and we had so much fun playing Wii, eating, chilling with Steph and randomly jamming. I was the worst Robin ever because I couldn't jump for my life (:
- Lazy enjoyable days. Finally sunshine!  
- Work. There's a lot I have to say but I think it's better not to say anything but... "every mile will be worth my while." That is all.
-I was abruptly reminded of some memories which I had stowed away deep down in my brain because I don't want to remember the kind of person I was before. Then some weird twist of fate (coincidence?) occurred...
- A very happy birthday to my dearest J ;)
- Bitter's party!!! Had fun even though I had to leave early. Thanks for organising! 
- 18" Costco pizza for a mere thirteen dollars and rediscovering the perks of being a bibliophile. I swear, whenever I see beautiful covers of books, I get so tempted to buy them because the covers seemingly determines and enhances how good I believe the book is. I saw these below but didn't buy them (yet)

- And before I finish, I'm including my view on the Snowden fiasco. I used to be so naive and think Obama was quite a great person but really, what change has occurred since he became president?  He's a disgrace to the legal profession because he conducts in unethical practices and fails to deliver justice on a gross scale to the people. His administration has blatantly lied about about them not being in a rush to catch a mere 29 year old whistleblower but yet the recent Ecuador fiasco proves otherwise; they are willing to create and risk diplomatic uproars in their desperate attempts to catch Snowden because he exposed the shitty workings of the government and the government is afraid that the people will rebel against them. It's true that Snowden violated state secrets but his actions were utilitarian and the people discovered the shitty workings of the government. That isn't even true democracy. Yet no country is willing to take a stand against the US and grant Snowden asylum even though Russia is clearly enjoying the US' demise and Beijing has refused to comply. I simply don't understand, what the US has that every country is so scared of defying them and give in to their sneaky threats? It looks like Big Brother has come to life.
