I am really having a hard time trying to come up with something to write. I wasn't in class on Tuesday, so I don't know what the topics are aside from energy (see last post). I know it can be annoying to have these stupid "I don't know what to write" intro paragraphs on many of my entries. However, they do help my mind get into gear to write something.
I won't go too deep into the fact that I believe I finally completed my five-generation family tree yesterday. The search for this ancestor really began twenty years ago with my parents and a couple conversations they had with older family members, and I found the name yesterday when I had a few minutes between classes. You have to understand that I tried so hard for such a long time to find this info, and it finally kind of popped up in front of me yesterday. It's a miracle, if you ask me. The only way I thought I could find it was having an angel come down and bop me on the head with the right info. That's basically what happened yesterday as I was in the Wilk.
I saw that the US embassy in Belgrade was encompassed with and burned by anti-Kosovo protesters. I don't have extremely warm feelings toward Serbia anyway, so I really wouldn't care that much if the US just let Serbia hang. Of course, His Excellency, Czar Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, would pitch a royal fit. He does have his motives, though. However flawed they may be, they have some reason behind them. Separatist movements like the Abkhazi movement in Georgia, the separatists in Russia (Chechnya) and Azerbaijan are at Russia's doors. I can understand that Kosovo's declaration of independence could be fuel to the fires in these locales.
Going back to my sentiments toward Serbia, I really can't say anything definitive because heck, I've never been there. I really don't know how it feels to have part of your country tell you to go to Hell and then try to declare independence. I was not born yet when my native land, Georgia (Southeast US, not the country), did that from the United States, or at least tried to do that.
