death of a hero

Today, Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, lunar explorer extraordinaire, died.

There are no words I can sum up now but I think the video below accurately sums up my feelings regarding the lunar landing and Neil Armstrong. Why it was such a big step for humanity, an act that remains one of the top greatest events ever in our history, one that stretched the boundaries of the human soul past our planetary confines to the moon..and eventually beyond. 

to find more about Neil Amstrong, Yahoo for once, has a good article about his life and achievements. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/neil-armstrong-moon-mystery-man-022250193.html

I don't know if the world, if america, has truly realized who and what we lost today. Its wasn't just a man but a hopeful perspective, a desire for exploration, for optimism, for belief in humanity. 

Beginnings and Ends and the Time in Between

Pipeline ended on the 12th- all of the students made it safely back home, including my chickies from winslow and shiprock.

Summer programs are always sad because of the family you make and then you have to leave after two brief weeks. But Pipeline is not over, not by a long shot. Our family is still together and will continue to be until Pipeline next summer.

Although my position is a bit tenuous as i'm not sure who will be employing me next month but i have many irons in the fire so I am not too worried. The last thing any of us wants, including me, is for me to go home. I mean California or Atlanta? Which would you choose? No brainer right?

My next two events that I will be helping out on will be Pomona Convocation and the NA Diabetes Health Walk Sponsored by Western University.

-I'm going to the village with my roomie bc she needs cough drops but I'll come back and post more.
