so it has been a while since I last updated on something so as we come down to turkey day it would be a good time to see how things were going and here we go on that topic. First thing about school is that im glad it is almost over I have been away from here just writing a huge paper which I basically got a c+ on it which means it wasnt my best effort on it but I know my writing sckills were pretty rusky as I hadnt written a paper since high school in terms of how long the paper was going to be wriiten. I learned from the feedback I have to shorten the introduction of the paper it was a page long and I guess for most college paper that might be a little bit too long in terms of writing it self. for me as a writer it is hard to work on a formula for writing that has worked for me over such a long period of time. I may go into a topic a little bit too much at the begining but it is my way to truly to get someone attention and get them to start thinkin about what the rest of the paper is going to be like as the paper is going to be written. I have another paper due on tues about current events that are on in the world and I have to write a two to three paper based on the roots of that issue. so im not here for the weekend that is the reason why. on too my work life. the ressuccion has finally gotten to me after all of this time. Ihavent lost my job but my work hours has been trimmed to about 25 hrs a week for now and to tell ya the truth if it conts then I am going to make more changes when it comes to work. I havent finalized a decision on what my plan to do in order to get over the crisis that seems to have taken over the workplace. it is starting to back up on the things that need to get done and the truth is that i dunno if I want to be around when the bussiness is planning picking up again if that ever happens again to tell ya the truth. For now im going to be working finding a second line of work to split the 40 hrs a week that I have been working since I started working again back in sept. Changes are a board with everyone at work and im not sure if people are be there or are to be liking the kind of changes that are coming around. im hearin layoffs might be happening and if that is the truth im going to be getting of this sinking ship before it dives itself into the ocean that is for sure. in my personal life since batsday I have been keeping a lowe profile there was alot of things that happened over that weekend that I had to think and now that some time to think here are some of my reaction from that weekend. People should havent been going there at all if there werent planning on going at all I was dispointed cause some people were soppure to be there when they no showed there at all. It kinda was the downer of the weekend. I had to keep my own promise to be there and put all of my money to make the trip and i did. Ijust wished people would have panned on better when it came to saving for the trip that is for sure. for the people that I meet there during the weekend im glad they were there to help save the fun that the whole weeknd would have been not saved if for the friends that I loved were there in one or another to be with me one at a time instead of being ina group like last year. I have new pics coming from that weekend in about a week when I get to school so people will have to wait then then to see all of the fun that was to be had at the park for that weekend that is for sure. other than that im waiting to stuff my face of turkey and be with the ones that im truly thankful to be with on turkey day if I done see ya on here then have a good hoilday and such to you and your familty alright.
bye 4 now,

The Vietnam War that took place in the 50’s and 60’s was an event that wasn’t to be understood by anyone who ever experienced it or the people who decided to run it. The Generals, Commanders, or Presidents that ran the whole thing didn’t understand truly about the whole event. They had used for formulas that had worked in previous wars. The reality is nobody in any country in any war had ever experienced what soldiers, the locals of Vietnam, and the other fighters on the other side fighting knew what kind of damage and carnage that would have happened over the period of time that was the Vietnam War. Even the American people who had supported all wars and causes since our country got together in 1776 to form our own nation could not even imagine the pictures, experiences, and the other effects against an enemy that had no clear face, patches on their jackets, and other symbols that they might used in previous wars.. The fact of the matter is that everyone that was part of the fighting each had their own point of view, which they were thinking that the fighting was really going on while the event was happening beyond their point of view. Each person will be looked over through this point of view and will be shown on how each thought they had the whole picture that the Vietnam war was when to them. There is not one person either in charge or that were fighting there on the ground during the war that had the bigger picture of the true nature of things that were going on at the time. If people had a bigger truth on the war itself, there would been some people that would have to ask some questions that might to have been answered if the bigger picture would be have told to them a little bit earlier. For example this would be asked “Why are we in another war even though the Korean War event has just ended recently?” In the middle of the fighting of the Vietnam War some of the people might have asked themselves “Who is the true enemy here, is it the people that we are trying to fight that have no clear patches, faces, uniforms or any other
Shipp2
way of telling them apart from locals or it is really us because of the fact we are killing innocent people of the war going on around them” At the end of the war most people would have to ask themselves, “what was the true cause of this war?” and “Why did over 50,000 people have to die for a war and a cause that we should have stay out of in the first place?” If everyone in the war had truly been asking a few of these questions a lot of people involved would have seen there a lot of misunderstanding and misconception was going on for all of the people involved that were a part of the Vietnam War. If the true picture would have been told to everyone involved, then it the war wouldn’t have gone on for as long as did. There will be looked at over time and seen that the whole conflict was fought over useless reasons and it was just a big waste of time, money, and lives on both sides of the war. That is why though it is all that if the bigger picture would be told the Vietnam War wouldn’t become the biggest misconception of all wars that involved in any country at anytime at any point in history.
There were a lot of people who in during the Vietnam War period didn’t have the clear understanding of the bigger picture, when it came to the overall picture that the war when it was going on that period of time. It was the misconception of people not having the true understanding of it all that made it almost impossible for anyone to truly know what was going on at the time. Our Forty President, Ronald Reagan, had a quote about misconception at the beginning of the war. He said it about the conflict in Vietnam in 1968 “We should declare war on North Vietnam - we could pave the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas.” Even he as a California Governor at the time couldn’t truly understand the conflict that the Vietnam War in the ten year period that it took place. He thought it could be
Shipp3
won over in a very short time. He probably thought the war was going to be a short conflict that could be ended in one swift of the finger toward a missile solo somewhere out in the Pacific Ocean. Another point that has to be made is that it is interesting to see how someone have a such of point of view of the war at the beginning when it would he who would become a future President and have to help lead out of this period of time in US history. The truth that has to be asked is that how could someone who was just running a state at the start of the conflict could truly understand the truth of the events that were going to be unfolding while everyone was living on during that period of time. Everyone who had an authority over somewhere in the government of the United States had the same feeling at the start of the war. When in truth it would become one of the biggest misconceptions that have ever occurred in the history of all wars. When in truth all that they did was to make things worse of all parties when it all ended up the way that it did.
The locals that lived in Vietnam during the war were the ones that had some of the best points of view when it came to the war. It was on their homeland and it was them that offered the best point of view when it came to all of the fighting that was going at the time. The rest of the world at the bringing of the war saw them as the traditional bad guys that were just trying to spreading the communism that they thought would have is taken over the whole area if it hadn’t been left alone at all. The locals that were choosing to be part of the fight had to offer this point of view of all of the nations that had one part or another tried to control their country and all of the natural resources that it produced as a country. One local farmer who joined the Viet Cong in
Shipp4
1961 had this point of view about the conflict going on in his country at the time. “I knew that the rich oppress the poor. The poor had nothing to eat and they also had no freedom. We had to get rid of the regime that allowed a few people to use their money and authority to oppress the others.” To a lot of people the big picture is that the Vietnam War was truly about the war for all of the locals that were fighting in the world. For them this was the whole truth of what was going on around them. The misconception is that nobody else in the world saw that point of view in terms of the beginning part of the war. The truth is that was them that were fighting for their independence from the countries that had taken country of the Vietnam for the past 30 years since the end of the Second World War. That point of view be later be known to the rest of the world in the later years of the war and the misconception that was there beforehand would go away as the protests marches and negative ness of the all of the backlash would finally catch up with people to finally let them on true nature of things.
There were a lot of stories that come from the war on how bad the war in Vietnam was in truly conditions that brought on the Vietnam War. A Rumor of War is an example of the good war stories that were brought on because of the war and the effects that were brought on from in such a war. It talked what a solder really went through going through the war from his point of view and how it changed his outlook on life and everything that was around him in the world. He said the following which offered a good summary of the war that he was involved with; “We had believed we were there for a high moral purpose. But somehow our idealism was lost, our morals corrupted, and the purpose forgotten." That quote was the reality for a lot of the soldiers
Shipp5
that got back from the war. A lot of them had to ask themselves a lot of questions and also what were the real morals for fighting a war. The misconception is that a lot of the people that chose to fight in the war were tricked into a cause that as the event get bigger and bigger in terms of the conflict. They started to notice that the direction that the war was supposedly good wasn’t going in their direction at all. It became a moral issue with a lot of the soldiers in terms of why they were trying kill an enemy that really had nothing to do them with personally and they had to question that along with what were the true reasons they were over there at all. Did the body count that was announced everyday just a way to give a cause over there? Were the locals that didn’t have anything to do with the war except for living in the country that it was going on just be in the wrong place at the time and somehow got involved because of the all of the corruption that was going on with the villagers soldiers and the foreigners that were fighting in the war at the same time? These along with other questions of error in judgment that came with the leading people of the war were things that everyone of the war had to go through on a daily basis and it was such an event that most people spent the rest of their lifetimes still feeling those bad decisions and errors to the end of their lives.
Another factor that had to be put into effect with all of the after effects of the war that was going on at the time of war was that the United States Government saw the Vietnam War as a black hole of shame in the years to come after the war. Basically they had tried to put it all on the backburner in the years that had followed the war itself. As this quote from Rumor of War
Shipp6
said it best; “You were faithful. Your country is not. As I write this, eleven years after your death, the country for which you died wishes to forget the war in which you died." This was the
view of the US and the government after the war was over in 1975. They wanted to forget and try move in the future but the misconception here is that the Vietnam war was seen as such a big event in the history of all wars that had taken place overtime. The Misconception for all of the people that fought in the fact that the Vietnam War is a hard event to forget about after being away from the real world from a long period of time. The reality of that is for the veterans that fought in the war came home to have to deal with a lot of nightmares in their personal lives and still had to deal with the returning to their normal lives that they went back too after the war was over it. Most of the veterans couldn’t go back to normal life after being away from the regular world for that long period of time. It made it for them almost impossible to try to live a normal life after the being involved with when it comes to dealing with the effects of the Vietnam War. While the rest of the world was trying to recover from the trying effects of the war, most veterans had to deal with the reality of all of the killing and the useless fighting in which they all had just gotten out of in the first place. It was a hard process for all veterans and everyone else involved with war having to deal with those effects based on what can happen to a person’s mind and how it affects everything that a veteran would have to go with on a daily basis. It is for reasons like that a war like that is going to be hard to try to forget in the first place at all.
After looking over the different evidence that was mention all during this essay one has to ask themselves if people had the true understanding of all sides of fighting that was going on
Shipp7
at the time, would it still been as bad as it truly was during that time or would there have been something even deeper of a conflict that would have happened in its place of Vietnam War? If the true reasons of the war were to be known to the world, during the war itself, would the soldiers still would been proudly served as they did during the war. These would have been just some of the questions that would have asked to the general public and everyone else around the world and if the misconception wasn’t out there at the time to block the true knowledge of the war the events, pictures, of everyone that was involve in the war might have turn out in another way that would have changed history forever would have changed history forever.
alright now with that nightmare of the night that was and used to be known as halloween night that was what it was to everyone else but myself I guess. I go into work into work today and today is basically fine as it has been lately. I have been thinking about leaving my job lately just becuase the job and the pay sucks monkey balls. It isnt the work or what it is that I do that is the problem. It is just I hate dealing with the idiots and chilren that I have to be with on a daily basi and the truth is that something will have to be done about it soon enough just becuase there has been some thought about doing things like yelling and something that I needed to coached on. My work is alright but like I said if there arent any changes to it here shortly I will have to make them in terms of finding work and going to that job from now on instead of having to to my current job for work. My boss basically told me to step it up or move on another line of work which is total BS becuase they have never given a shit about this before and now it is only becuase people have nothing else going on in their departements and they pulled the little taattle tale shit which explained to me all I needed to know this holiday season. Why should give a care to a job im leaving anyway in a few short months I dunno and until that changes I will cont not to truly give a shit about the work that I am doing right now and if my boss wants to have another one of these stupid ass convos im going to force to tell him to fuck off and move on with everyone;s else life except mine.
that all for now,

As I have explained before it just feels like that haoliday that used to be known to me as halloween will always been known to me as hallowed day from now on until the viod that this haoliday has brought into my life that is for sure. anyway onto the party itself. after all of the stupid shit that happened with former friends that had happened there. I got to meet the rest of my friends family and for me it explains about them and theya re the way that they are and the way that im talking about is lazy and in some crazy way just fucked in their heads. They had alot of people over and they were cool to hang out with but I could tell that they was alot of backstabbing going on in the background. I could them talking about people be going on in the back while nobody around. I ask yourself and now that I have thought it I have to ask myself why in the hell did I even go in the backgorund knowing all of this bs was going to happen I guess I needed something to do this halloween and didnt want to be home like last year. one person got knocked at the party and I found out today nobody from that family go to the hopitial to pick him up which was the stupidest shit that I have ever heard or seen in my life and that fact was the breaking point last night that I decided to say to this people fuck all of them for all of the shit that happened all last night. if someone I knew got hurt at a party that I was hosting I problay be telling people that they all needed to go and go do something else regagardless of whatever or what was going on with the rest of the people at the party. that is my opinion on this topic and I hope that anyone that reads will learn from the mistakes that were going on and hopefully learn from what has happened so far that is in terms of my life and such.
bye for now,

I dont call this halloween weekend to me this weekend was just so much bs this weekend. it is just some of the most biggest bs that I have ever seen in my life. this weekend was the reunion for me with most of my former friends that ised to hang out with this weekend and I have seen how bitter and crazy that these people since I last saw them a year ago. I cant beleive how people have gotten I told them the truth about I had truly frlt about all of them and it didnt sank in too well even when a year had passedover them since it happened. I dont requite at all what it is I did. I think now that they are all douche bags and they needed to hear that from me a long time ago. one couple that got hooked up over that time got married and then their house got taken over by the bank and they had to move into seperate houses with frineds. my ex roommate's ex hasnt changed one bit since I told her shes a douche and stalker and needed to get the hell away from there. there is the biggest fake out of all of them. Our dearest friend only to be known as T on here for safety purposes. she is a sub teacher who goes to church on sun and during the rest of the week she is all over the internet whoring her out there trying to get dates. now im not saying anything about it but that is get to be the biggest fakest thing about all of this that I have ever seen in my life. well all of these people are at the same party as me and it was interesting seeing all of the reactions that I was getting from there and it made quickly remember why im no longer friends and it kinda brought a certain closure to my life becuase they were my life for three years and it was hard to lose them after everything that happened and now that I have realize and thought it all out I knew it was ment to happen in that and that im glad that it worked like that.
bye for now,
