sad, but true

well i didn't make it home. im at amanda's house near bakersfield. there was a huge head-wind shooting straight down the 5 at about 30 miles an hour. this turned my poor little 4 cylinder jeep into a large brick wall on wheels. i was going about 50 miles an hour and getting about 12 miles to the gallon. at this rate i couldn't afford to get all the way to oregon and still be able to pay my bills. i am super broken hearted right now, and feeling really stupid. hopefully i will get to go home, for the first time in about six months, when school gets out. i am so disapointed. to top it off, amanda and her family aren't even here at their house. they went to the beach for the weekend. they were nice enough to let me stay at their place for the night. they are good and kind people.

in an odd twist of fate, the day i have been the lowest in a long time brings the craziest news i have seen in years, literally. today some super awesome folks at a company called Scaled Composites unveiled a completely developed and functioning space plane!!!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you have no idea what hope this gives me for the future of manned space flight. i am so incredibly blown away by today's developments. to top the whole damn thing off, it wasn't done by the US government! there is hope for man in space!!!! read this article to find out all about it, and go to Scaled Composites' website to see more amazing pictures of the White Knight and SpaceShipOne.

praise the lord for space planes! ------>
