Hi Everyone,
I know it's been a long time since I last blogged. The reasons are many but bottom line, damn I missed blogging. Actually I've been hoping to start blogging again when the new blog site is up but it's taking longer than I anticipated, and I can't wait any longer!
In the past couple of weeks, much has happened. We embarked on 2010, a new year where we all are hoping for better prosperity, especially after the recession, the lay offs, the credit crunch, the wars, the insane weather and the crumbling environment...man what a year last year was. However, 2010 started on an "off" note.
More lay offs, company closures -- and this happened to people that are close to my heart, so I know the stress it's putting on people.
Tiger Woods did what????
Climate isn't getting any better, instead it's scaring the hell out of me...I think we should all watch "Day After Tomorrow Again" and get some pointers from Jake Gyllenhall on how to survive what may come :s By the way, what a disappointment the movie "2012" was. Omg, you'd think they would have used this huge blockbuster opportunity to provide some explanation of what this myth is all about! But nooo...it was the same sort of disaster depicted over and over again, all throughout the movie. The audience just had to sit there and accept the fact that some planets lined up (no explanation of why, how, and the prediction) and now the earth is just breaking apart and swallowing us whole....yup....great movie....gosh...
Tiger Woods did what, you say????
Okay, let's get a bit serious now -- Haiti.
I woke up one morning and all anyone was talking about was Haiti, so I went online, turned on the television and what I learned and saw broke my heart. What a massive earthquake, followed by devastating aftershocks, and the sheer number of casualties and victims, it truly saddens me and my love and support are with the survivors, the families and basically just everyone. I really wish I could do something more to help out.
Now some anger -- what in the world is CNN and the US doing? They show a helicopter loaded with supplies hovering over the makeshift survivor camps, and instead of touching down, or setting up some sort of organized relief effort, the US copter dudes begin to THROW the supplies down from up above and just let the people below clammer and fight for them. And there's CNN showcasing it and the anchor is saying: "yup look at them, so sad". I mean WHAT THE HECK?!
Thankfully I changed the channel to CBC News -- where they were focusing on the UN's relief efforts and yes as I expected they had an orderly set up. Everyone was in a line, food and supplies were being calmly handed out, people looked relieved and more importantly it looked HUMANE.
Alright, I gotta end this now - I will write back very soon. Got some other things to chat about... it really has been a very long time. For now let's pray for the people in Haiti and hope that the relief effort goes well and people get the help that they need and deserve.
Peace Out!
