The Rescue; Cardiff, UK 2009
Saturday night I marched through Cardiff for the children soldiers abducted by Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistant Army.
It was such a rewarding experience being able to be involved with Invisible Children in another country. I met lets of people from not only the U.K, but from around the world. It was great to see everyone together for the same cause.
We slept outside of Cardiff university, in the front lawn and even though it rained, it wasn't too bad because I learned how to say "goodnight baby" in Welsh, "Nos Da Baba" and how to make the "LL" sound (which involves hissing out of the sides of your mouth).
Anyways, made this video from the event. Please take a second to watch it!

Ahhh Home Meet Home
Having my dad and mom and uncle come visit me in Swansea was a very proud moment for me. I didn't just want them to like Swansea, I wanted them to LOVE IT! In the short time that I have lived here, I have really grown to love Swansea. From the random rain, to the ponies behind my flat, to the sheep on rolling hills, and cliffs that look over the water, (and to the crazy students throwing eggs, bread, pans, and whatever else out their windows when they get drunk oh and putting maynoise on people's door knobs, hot vaseline on the walls, raw fish through the mail slots, and toothbrushes in toilets), Swansea has won my heart.
I took my parents to all the Hot Spots and of course on our trip out to the Gower Penisula it rained, but it wouldn't have felt right without it! Took them to see the Mumbles light house and what's left of the Oystermouth, Swansea, and Panean Castle. And the best part of all, Mother's Day was the Sunday that my mom had come to visit me (which I learned Mother's Day isn't a global holiday, that date varies depending on what country you were in...who knew?)
Here's a video of my ridiculously crazy mom...Patty Wagon Explores the Gower, apparently she felt like dinosaurs should live on the Gower and that it was like Robinson Crusoe.

I'm realizing more and more everyday how much I am like my mom, and it's scary.
And here's a video of our adventures in Swansea.
Really enjoyed the time I spent with my dad and uncle! They are really adventerous for their age! And in shape, they were going up the hills faster than i was haha.
Welsh Men Can't Rap
Welsh men can't rap, but who really gives a shit about that?!
"When we get beat, it hurts a bit,
Especially if it's against those English shits."
