A Statue To Commemorate Cannibalism

Feeling a little better. 

Still, 

I'm wondering why finding the 

Donner-Reed Party 

on this date in history is significant.

Someone actually put up a monument to a group of people who resorted to cannibalism to survive. 

I know, 

if I was in that situation, 

I would do anything to survive, 

except killing someone. 

I think life is too precious to lose without putting up a fight. 

But I would not want to be immortalized for it!

I'm also wondering how this leads into my next fan favorite Post: 

A Step Further

  In my previous Post,

I mentioned how people who can afford to pay for items should.

Yes,
I live by this policy.

Let us clarify something first.

I no longer have the urge to own everything I want.

Example;
So far this year I've only bought one hard cover book.

And that was a present to some really good friends of mine.

Today,
I go to the library to check out
and read the books I'm interested in
or download a magazine,
comic book,
or a book on my
"Nook."

I've bought only one complete CD this year,
because I can select the kind of music I want to listen to on programs like
"Pandora"
or
"I Heart Radio."

(There are dozens of such programs out there.)

But,
for movies,
I believe the
"Theater"
experience brings a certain kind of entertainment all its own.

I saw
"The Avengers; Age of Altron,"
in 3D.

I enjoy the sight
and sounds of a movie in the theater.

I still rent DVDs from
"Red Box."

Because of the experience of sitting with my whole family
and watching a movie together.

I pay for
Netflix,
Hulu Plus,
and
Amazon Instant Video
so my family can watch movies
and TV shows when they want to.

Not only the newest shows,
but shows from years gone by that we can experience again together.

I record sporting events on my
HD DVR Recorder,
so I can pause,
rewind,
fast forward,
and finish watching a two to three hour event in three to four sittings.

Of course,
I could use a
"Torrent" 
and get everything for free,
but then I would be missing out on all these experiences,
with my family,
on all the different types of formats the new technologies bring to Reading Materials,
listening to Music,
watching TV Shows,
and the Movie Experience.

If I couldn't afford it,
I wouldn't be doing it.

What is money for,
but to help make your life 
Easier,
Happier,
and 
 Healthier.

Other than that,
I see no use in it.

So as long as I can afford to do these things which make my life more enjoyable,
I'll keep on doing them.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
