Since I made it Here, I can Make It anywhere

In the headlines Today:
Obama is planning to send 40,000 new troops to afghanistan. This will take the money being spent on the war, as I understand it, from $40 billion to $54 billion a year. This is being opposed as the governments budget is soaring, due to weak economy (although the scotsman told us that U.S.A has officially come out of the recession) and Obama's plan for a costly health plan, not unlike our NHS. Whilst all the budget stuff is interesting, very interesting, what really interested me was that I am at least 98% sure Obama promised to get the troops out of there, not send more out. I mean, if i was American, that would be one of the reasons I voted for him. In my opinion, and I am not a war reporter or anything, this war has gone on way too long, and it doesn't seem like we are even fighting for a reason anymore, just people dying for no explainable reason.

Technically, not "news" but as someone with an opinion on everything, this stood out, because I have very strong opinions on this. So the NY times had an article on their website about People listening to mp3s in public, Talking on Phones etc.
So the talking on phones I agree with, I mean really, no-one cares what your wife is cooking you for dinner, or which stripper your friends ended up going home with last night.
And those are the more milder conversations!
But here is my view on MP3 players. If it's me, I listen to my music Full Blast, on the bus, train, in the street. I like to listen to loud music. This may make me insensitive, but it is just who I am. However, if I was on a full bus, I would turn down my music for the comfort of the person sat next to me. But if they decide on an empty bus, to sit next to, behind, or in front of me, well that is up to them. I wouldn't tell them not to sit there if they had a personal hygiene problem or a particularly annoying fidgeting habit. I would just move. Makes sense right?
The music for me makes my journey easier, it makes it seem shorter, and as a sufferer of travel sickness, this is V important to me, and it is just entertainment. But when you are sat in front of a whingy person on an empty bus, you are anti-social and rude.

MY DAY:

First full day back in Chippenham. By the way, town last night was a bust. I hated Chippenham town night life when I lived here but now I live in a city where something is always on, it seems worse, but anyway, they wouldnt let me in anywhere, because my passport is not valid :( so we went back to Rhi's and watched Spirited Away lol. So this morning I got up and had to get a taxi home in my clothes from last night. With no shoes on as I only had 5 inch stilettos with me :). Then went to Hungry Horse with Rhiannon and Andrea, and Gerry met us at one.
Then Me, Gerry, and Bethan went into town and I saw everyone from Boots =D Yay.
My friend Emma met us a three thirty and we all came back to mine. We were all sat around talking and then Emma had to go, which is sad, but not to sad as I hope she will come to Lincoln soon!
OMG Me, Bethan and Gerry had the biggest play-fight ever. Must have gone on for about 2 hours! soooooo much fun!!!
Then I had a yummy roast, watched X factor and went to bed!
Pretty fun day lol but not that exciting!
Till tomorrow...
