childhood ignorance

Being human we make mistakes all the time every day. One of the earliest mistakes I made when I was little, even though i don't really see it as a mistake I saw it as fun, was when I decided it would be a fun idea to try to climb over one of the llamas my family owned. I was only 4 or 5 at the time and I had climbed over this particular llama before. Well this time the llama decided to stand up as I was climbing over her. I was sitting on her as she stood up and I ended up riding her. It was very interesting and really stupid. When my dad saw the llama starting to walk towards her pen with me on her back, he jumped up from the pottery he was throwing and ran over to pull me off her back. Both him and my mom were really scared for me, but I was just like that was cool can I do it again?

Nur Menschlich

"Only Human" is what the German title of my Blog translates to. It was hard to narrow the title of my blog down any more than that. There are so many aspects to us humans and I'm going to be focusing on some of them. I'm not sure which ones yet, so we'll just have to wait and see I guess. This should turn out to be an interesting experiment I think. But I do know one thing, I'm in the perfect enviroment right now to see where this blog will go.
The title for my blog actually came from my one friend who is always speaking German and told me this when we were talking about something. I asked him what it meant, he told me, and I loved it. "Only Human," we are human and make mistakes its part of being human. Actually thats a great idea, my blog will be about human error and what it means to be "Only Human." Alos i have a weird fasination with titling stuff in German.
