Being a brat
When I think about what a brat I can be sometimes... When things don't go my way or someone lets me down... I'm disappointed in myself.


I really have such an amazing life and family and friends.

Reading about and seeing the destruction and devastation from the typhoon in the Philippines, puts it all into perspective. These people have no homes, and the streets are filled with bodies, and fragments of buildings which were their homes. I can't imagine that kind of loss. My heart really goes out to them, it's humbling to see people survive such tragedy.

I am so happy I am able to come home to Blo again and see my babies and my brother and my sister in law... And of course my friends. I'm gonna hug errybody real tight! Partially also because its cold there and I'm a tropical baby now. :) It's still in the mid 80s here and it's so nice to go for a walk in shorts and a t everyday.

Interestingly, many attribute the deplorable response of the Pakistani government to that particular cyclone to the creation of Bangladesh.

But then, one might argue, when has any Pakistani govt. ever done any good?

In the 1970s, Bangladesh (or formerly "East Pakistan") lost 500k people to a cyclone. :::link::: Death tolls from natural disasters frequently cross 100k in low lying South Eash Asian countries.

Sadly, its the circle of life.

It's good to have perspective. I read your post and remembered almost every one of the few problems I have is minor, especially compared to things like the typhoon. We really are so lucky!

At least you recognize it lol. Its hard for me to get worked up about natural disasters elsewhere. I mean when you think about it there are natural disasters happening everywhere all the time. If I stressed out about each one I'd go crazy. Sometimes, I think all of this interconnectedness just gives the world more anxiety. That being said, I still feel really bad for them and hope I never have to experience it first hand.

Liars
I have a revolutionary idea. People can be truthful instead of making shit up or withholding information.


I would rather get the truth however terrible than be deceived any day.

Liars can't sit with me. Faaaaaaaa q!


Maybe I should go back to the gym.

Sometimes we don't want the truth, but right now i'd like to know it.
lilho - 11/10/13 17:21

I resent that comment. Was not drunk... The bride left scarves on the backs of the chairs for all of the women in case we got cold . :(
paul - 11/10/13 10:33
Did you get so drunk you decided to use the napkins as a head dress?

I'm coming home(again) bitches
Since I don't start work until the 25th and all I have going on here is my twice a week tutoring client and the gym twice a day.... I decided to go back to blo for a week. Mainly because I won't be able to do any traveling for a week because of training with the new job.

I had a red eye flight in and arrive Wednesday... I loathe the red eye. It will all be worth it to see those sweet little angel faces and get hugs and kisses!

Now I must come up with a workout and diet plan whilst I'm there because I seem to not have control of how much I eat when I'm in blo. :(

I was full for two days after I came home. I love being able to hike and be outside here so I'm just gonna have to bring bundled up workout gear and tread the pavement! Fall hiking anyone?

(E:mike) ill text ya when I arrive heaux.

Coming back to paint the town pink!
