Tsunami rant?
I’ve been itching to put up a new skin for about a week now, but I can’t bring myself to replace the “I Run Away” skin as default. -Sigh-… maybe this weekend.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks, you’ve heard about the tsunami drama in Asia. While I do sympathize with the victims and the victims’ families, I believe the media is a little too focused on this one event. Granted it was a giant natural disaster, but there are a million other news-worthy events occuring everyday in the world that get little to no attention (ie. genocide in Sudan, HIV/AIDS in Africa, starvation, etc.). I wish more people would actually donate to an extended list of national crises, other than just the tsunami relief. I can’t tell you how many ideas for fundraisers that I’ve heard at school, on TV, and online. Don’t get me wrong; donating to a cause like this is a very nice thing to do. But so many causes in the world are going semi-unnoticed just because Sandra Bullock didn’t donate $1 million to them and they’re not covered on every single news broadcast/website. I’m sorry if I offended anyone in this little ‘rant’ by going against popular opinion, but that’s just how I feel at the moment. Feel free to [civily] rebut if you want.
Shifting to a more upbeat topic… I never got around to exchanging the hair dye, or stealing another box. If I ever get around to dying my hair, it’ll probably be this weekend. And to those interested, I finally got my straw in that damn juice box. Stupid Minute Maid people… *mutters curse words.*
I watched Garden State yesterday. What a freaking awesome movie. Bye, kids!
