90 Miles To Freedom!!

I have to go to work today! BOOooo!! I'm not in a sitting around a golf shop mood, I want to swim! Speaking of swimming.... Today there was a big breaking news story about a rusty old boat carrying a bunch Cubans trying to make its way into the United States. Now, when I lived in Canada I had never even heard about these things happening. To tell you the truth, I had to laugh at first. I mean, they pick the craziest things to come across in. Like a while ago there was a bunch comming across in a truck with big barrels tied underneath so it would float. I'm sure it would have been a good idea if they had made it to shore (they could just take off the barrels and drive away), but ofcourse they didn't make it to shore. As I kept watching it did get kinda sad though. I felt kindof ignorant for laughing, but I didn't realise that they were leaving because their country treats them so badly. I truly just thought that they were a bunch of guys who just couldn't get across the boarder, so they decided to try to sneak in. I didn't really catch on to the fact that they were running from their horrible government. That is so sad. It makes me thankful that I live under the government we have, with all its flaws, at least we don't have to try to sneak into other countries to get freedom.

Anyway, those are my thoughts so far today. MAN! I really don't want to go to work, but my sister is going to come with me today so it might not be so boring.
Blog ya later!
