Ignorance is Bliss
Lately, I get frustrated at myself. It is mostly because I always have to give myself a reality check about the world. I just don't understand how I can go on living my life peacefully, when there are so many people across the world fighting, surviving, and dying. It's easier to live life through ignorance, but I just can't do it anymore. Not that it's a major change in my life, but I am trying to pay a lot more attention to the world, especially the war and the election.
In watching the news yesterday, I heard of so many deaths that were occurring in Iraq. I never realized the extremeness of this war. I can't even begin to assess the amount of devastation this war has caused and will cause in the future. Everyday there are suicide bombers, killing soldiers and innocent civilians. It's so freaking horrible. It's really heart wrenching.
On the home front, a woman who attended Laura Bush's speech yesterday, began shouting out that Bush killed her son. Her son was killed while disarming a bomb in February, while in Iraq. The police arrested her and charged her for disrupting the convention. That woman silenced 700 people including Laura Bush, but after this woman was taken away, Laura Bush had the ability to continue her speech. Being a mother and a woman, how could a person even continue a speech about righteousness, when there is a helpless and confused mother crying out for an explanation? I wouldn't have the composure to finish, in fact, I would have consoled that woman. In another story, a young man came back from Iraq, because his 2 month old son is dying. If his son does not receive a heart transplant in the next six weeks, he will die. I cried when I heard that.
I don't know what this world is coming to.
They are saying all these natural disasters occurring are the build up of something even more disastrous. Apparently, we Californians are long due for a major earthquake. It was supposed to happen a few Sunday's ago, and was to be the biggest earthquake California will ever live through. The more days that pass, the larger and more fatal the earthquake will be. Hopefully it wont be as bad as the scientist have predicted. They've already been wrong in predicting the day the earthquake will hit, so maybe they will be wrong on the magnitude of the quake. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But what really ticks me off, is that there hasn't been much reports on the news about the earthquake. They should at least warn people to be a little bit more cautious and aware of the situation.
In politics, Kerry and Bush are predicted to be a dead heat as of now at 46% each.

In my life, I just got sick. Scratchy throat and a runny nose are on the list so far. I am also joining the American marketing association and hopefully the mentoring program at school. Apparently all the hot guys are apart of these organizations. Who knew? Obviously not me because I would have otherwise joined years ago. There's a bonfire next Friday. It should be fun. I'm also really freaking sore. In particularly in my triceps and in my upper abs. Those 575 meters of the butterfly strokes did me in on Wednesday. But I have to say it feels good. Hopefully I am able to get over this sickness and continue my rampage of swimming and running as scheduled.
