Joshua Trees



We have all wondered why U2 named their monster album, "the Joshua tree." I have the answer, but only because i was just at Joshua Tree national park. Yes that is correct i can scratch Joshua tree off my giant list of national parks. Brooke on the other hand has only scratched off 2 parks (saguaro cactus national park would be the other). So to answer the question. Obviously they named the album "the joshua tree" because every song is actually about joshua trees. Most people will tell you that they wrote the cd as their pilgrimage across the states. These people would be liars or as i like to call them, Sportels. I mean honestly think of all the songs.... "with or without you" has to be about Bonos love for joshua trees, and his realization that he can no long with a joshua tree, but also without one. I feel his pain. "the streets have no names," because if there were streets on joshua trees (the absence of roads has not yet been proven by science) they would obviously not have names. "beautiful day," because every day is a beautiful day in joshua tree national park. Now these liars(Sportels) would tell you that beautiful day isn't even on the album "the joshua tree," and they would be wrong.

To sum up the adventure to Joshua tree i would say that i'm glad i finally found a joshua tree, it was exciting. It did take a while to find a joshua tree because unlike saguaro national park, they aren't giant green things, and they aren't everywhere as far as the eye can see. We had to look for them. Plus since i left my copy of "the joshua tree" at home, i wasn't fully sure what a joshua tree looked like (or what it looks like under Edge's skull cap). So we took pictures of ourselves next to what we thought were joshua trees. We did infact find a good specimen of a joshua tree. We had to stumble into the desert to find one. But we did get a nice family shot of all of use jumping (also known fact of science "wards dont' jump") infront of a joshua tree. So i hope you enjoy the photos, plus for some reason i look gigantic. I know i am actually gigantic, but i look more pilige a village and live under a bridge gigantic. Enjoy.

Yes, you are gigantic. That is evident by the fact you can leap 10 feet into the air. Why must you hate on the sportels? Just because you lack knowledge does not mean you can make some up, but when you do I find it funny. So, I guess I can't be angry with you.

i wanted to go to wikipedia, and change everything and hope that it would stay long enough for you to look and then think that i was right, but alas, i didn't do that.

Well, at first I noticed you jumping kirk....then I noticed a slight jump by brooke, and yet with even more noticing, I saw that mother got some hang time....but Dad.....just looks like he has a stiff back or something....but alas...I like the last picture...I wish to be as sweet as you kirk, I really do indeed.

If you look at mom jumping carefully it looks like she has marionette string attached to her shoulders and they are pulling her up.
