Alaska and the rest of the World!

It wasn't until Alaska that i realized how left out i was to knowing what was going on around the world.  I don't like living a life of naivety through my first year of college.  Now as i approach my second year i hope to push myself to knowing what goes on around the world.  BBC does a good job as well as CNN world news but we as American's lack the proper circulation of important information in american media.  I don't really care who did what or what actor made  fool of himself or what new court trial that plays no relevance to the everyday life of the American porves (unless of course it really does affect me in some way or another but probably not).  Not to down play the stories of missing children and murders but history has proven that as only a tool of public dissociation with the world.  We are a selfish nation.  We lack the proper intelligence and information to fully understand what is going on around us everyday. Yes we are one of the most if not the most powerful country in the world but we have alienated ourselves form the rest of the world which in the end leads to things, problematic things.  

I got bored in Alaska.  there aren't a lot of people of there which quickly leads one to a desire to return to society.   I loved the beauty of nature and i loved being in Alaska, but I wish i could truly breath it in as I should.  I don't know why i couldn't maybe because my good friends weren't there or maybe I am just not a nature person.  But it was beautiful.  

Now being on a cruise for the first time was an interesting experience.  I mean i don't mind drinking but its the only thing to do on cruises as many people make it seem.  But it was fun and that is all i have to say other then that i am a mean dancer.

Alright, thats it i think.
