Remembering 9/11

My thoughts and prayers today are with the victims and their families of September 11,2001 ......Lest we forget

Anyone else?

Ok. So I have a problem and I am hoping I am not the only one. So I have a pretty serious crush on a guy I have never met. Yeah, I know pretty bad huh. Anyways I am not saying his name cause its irrelevant but yeah. It's interesting though because I feel that it is more then just looks because I mean who hasn't thought certain celebrities are hot but this time it feels more like a crush I used to have on this other guy (one I actually do know lol) then on celebrities I just think are hot. I know it sounds crazy I mean the closest I have to "know" him is from the interviews I have seen him do but, I don't know. I am hoping blogging about this will help and I have mentioned it to one of my friends but other then that I don't know. I mean it would help if I met him, even if he was an ass at least then I would be able to move on but......geeeeeeeze........Please tell me I am not the only totally insane one out there :S

Special Lemonade Recipe

Ok. So I found this recipe online and decided to try it. It is suprisingly very good. So much so that even my extremely picky brother liked it. :)

Ingredients

2 medium lemons
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups milk
3 cups club soda, chilled
2 drops yellow food colouring (optional)

1. Remove ends from lemons and discard. Remove lemon peel with a knife; set aside. Quarter lemons; squeeze juice into a bowl. Remove and discard white membrane. Place the peel and pulp in a blender or food processor; cover and process until coarsely chopped. Add peel mixture and sugar to lemon juice; mix well. Let stand for 30 minutes.

2. Stir in milk. Strain lemon mixture; add club soda and food colouring if desired. Serve immediately in sugar-rimmed glasses in desired.

Be Brave

I must not fear, fear is the mind killer.

Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration.

I will face my fear.

I will permit it to pass over and through me.

And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Only I will remain.

-Frank Herbert

Australia Day

Happy Australia Day Everyone.
For those of you who are curious, I know I was, here is a little bit on the history of Australia Day and when it started.
"

The tradition of noticing 26 January began early in the nineteenth century with Sydney almanacs referring to First Landing Day or Foundation Day. That was the day in 1788 Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of eleven convict ships from Great Britain and the first governor of New South Wales, arrived at Sydney Cove. The raising of the Union Jack there symbolised British occupation of the eastern half of the continent claimed by Captain James Cook on 22 August in 1770.²

Some immigrants who prospered in Sydney, especially those who had been convicts or the sons of convicts, began marking the colony's beginnings with an anniversary dinner - 'an emancipist festival' to celebrate their love of the land they lived in. Governor Lachlan Macquarie, the emancipists' friend, made the thirtieth anniversary of the day in 1818 a public holiday, thirty guns counting out the years of British civilization, a tradition Macquarie's successors continued.³

In 1826 at the centre of the anniversary dinner, 'Australia' a new word for the continent, entered the list of toasts. The term, recommended in his Voyage to Terra Australis in 1814 by Matthew Flinders, the skilful circumnavigator of the continent in 1801-03, and proposed by Macquarie to a reluctant British government in 1817, was taken up in Australia, especially by emancipists. The most famous of them, William Charles Wentworth with a fellow barrister had established the colony's first uncensored newspaper, the Australian, in 1824.⁴ "
