I have just returned from the meeting with all the conspirators. They showed up in cloaks hiding their faces, isn't that strange? Cassius, Casca, Decius, Cinna, Metellus Cimber, and Trebonius make up the conspiracy, including me. I welcomed them all into my home and greeted them indiviually.
Cassius had the funniest but foolish idea of the whole night. Don't tell him I said that! Anyways, Cassius urged us to take an oath! AN OATH. Can you believe that? Oaths can be taken by any human being, but that isn't the issue, the issue is that any kind of person can take an oath. Liars, Cheaters, Murders, etc. could all take these oaths but still lie. Oaths are taken by men who can't be trusted. Actions speak louder than words so why should we take an oath when only our actions matter? If anyone were to break his word, Roman blood would be adulterated.
Not one single person commented on my long, wise speech I told the group. They just changed the subject to someone joining and pointless things. I started to ignore them since they ignored

me until I heard a messy idea. Cassius again had such an excellent idea(I'm being sarcastic), he wanted us to not only kill Julius Caesar but to also kill Mark Antony. Just because he could be a threat to us, and it would prevent this supposably. They all seem to forget the reason why we're killing Caesar in the first place. It would also be way too messy and pointless. Our goal is to keep the Roman Empire away from Julius's ambition, not to kill all of Caesar's acquaintance's. It just isn't necessary. We all agreed and made the right decision to only kill Julius.

They all seemed to leave around three and we decided to meet around eight o'clock again at Caesar's house. I wish I could stay and blog more but my wife is calling, be sure to check back to see what my wife says! I promise ill write!
