Osama Bin Laden is Dead

As, I'm sure, most of you already know: Osama Bin Laden is dead. D - E - A - D. Dead.

On Sunday the 1st of May 2011 a United States Navy Seal put a bullet through Osama Bin Laden's head. A lot of people seemed to rejoice in this fact. Personally I'm glad he's got his, I'm glad an American Sailor gave it to him as well. I am definitely not going to sit Shiva over this man, and am in no way going to hold or partake in a wake for him, but neither will I celebrate his death. The reports say that he was buried at sea with as close of an adherence to the Islamic tradition which was possible, I am grateful that the officials were respectful enough to do that-even though he probably did not deserve that considering I've been hearing reports that he used his own wife as a human shield.

Some people are calling him a martyr. No. This man was not a martyr for any cause, most certainly not a martyr for Islam. He had to know he was not getting out of there alive, and yet he used someone else as a human shield in a desperate attempt to save his own hopeless self. Ass.

What we must remember is that this was just one guy in a massive international organization, and the whole thing does not end with his death like it did with Hitler 65 years ago to date. There will be a new head arising to take his place, there may be retaliation. When the world is finally at peace then I will celebrate: of course this probably means I will never celebrate because in the history of man there has never been a time when the entire world has been at peace with one another.

Other than that my weekend went like this:
Worked on Friday from noon 'til nine p.m. then wasn't able to fall asleep until like 3 a.m. then woke up at 7 a.m. and went to work and worked from 8 a.m. on Saturday til 2 p.m. then went to the store to get the supplies I would need for this week, and didn't get out of there until 4 in the afternoon. Went to Cornival up in Helotes from 7 to 10 then headed to the bar at 11, bar closed at 2, cleaned up a bit, didn't get home 'til 4 a.m.. Needless to say, whilst doing laundry and chores on Sunday I pretty much slept. Then I heard Bin Laden was dead, but was too tired to post anything then so am posting now as i just got home from work on this freakishly cold and cloudy day.

and yet, still no rain. Come on clouds when will you stop teasing us?
