Caves

It was a casual Sunday evening. Approximately 7:30pm and I was currently being trapped in the dining hall. I had intended to leave at 7:30 after completing a quick meal and catch up with one of my friends who I meant to meet at 7:00 pm in the dining hall. I ended up arriving at the dining hall at 6:00pm because my other friend decided to schedule a meeting with this person at such an inconveniently early dining period. All through the week we had been discussing about our housing plans and house mate arrangements and somehow one of my friends was very keen on bringing this random person to live with us so we had to meet her but somehow this random person only eats dinner at around 5 or 6pm so we had to comply with that. Anyway, we finally meet her and converse for about 5 minutes before she has too leave.
My friend arrives and he ends up sitting somewhere else because I was sitting with other people and stuff and he found another mutual friend to sit with him. I go and force myself upon them afterwards and eat with them. We converse and eat for the next hour and soon 8:00pm comes and we all leave the dining hall. On the trip across the lobby floors and towards the elevator, I receive a text from my friend saying that I promised to watch the weekly documentary showing in the Urban Lounge so I went and waited for her not knowing what I was to be viewing. Turns out they were having a showcase on a series called: Planet earth.
Glad it was a documentary and not some action movie because they are always showing some action movie. Oh speaking of Action movies, I went and saw Olympus has Fallen recently. It was quite a bad movie. Really really American. Had like the obvious American heros and the villians who were Koreans (I fell asleep in the movie so I'm not sure if they were south or north Koreans) where the villian had almost no motive but just evil intent to destroy the entirety of the United States. It was pretty annoying because they placed a hell of a lot of value on the president's life and it was like, no worries that tons of other people get killed and hurt, as long as the president's safe it's all worth it. Anyway, it ended up being like, God bless this country built on Justice, equality and integrity.etc etc.

Side track.. Anyway, So I go and watch the documentary and then the title words comes up, and it happens to be about CAVES. So here are some cool caves:

First of is Lechuguilla Cave which is a freakin huge cave in New Mexico. It's not opened to anyone after they documented it with film and pictures cause ain't nobody allowed to touch this thang.

That underwater underwater sea and lake in Mexico:

THis other cave in mexico that's super deep and has a huge mouth so people sky dive into it. It's pretty insane but no google image is doing it justice. it's name is Cave of Swallows

And there's this texan walking salamander thing that is found in one of the caves. I dont know I just think it look weird


and they also talk about halong bay and stuff. yea natural earth formations rock.

(posting more cause procrastination is the only time i get to do shit like this)
