Blehhhh....

So I have definitely had one of those BLEH weekends. You know, the ones where you are so bored you ACTUALLY wouldn't mind organizing and cleaning? And I am actually tired of watching movies and worthless television....quite odd! But at the same time, with the current news this week, I had to think about how lucky I am to have a warm, safe, place to sleep and food to eat throughout my boredom. The past week I have been reading and hearing about the terrible tragedy in Haiti, and the struggle for all of the aids workers to provide the citizens with food, water, clothing, and a safe place to sleep. Its like hurricane Katrina all over again. (Aside from the fact that this time the U.S. government response was immediate, and not delayed by 3 or four freaking days!!) Its so sad that so many lives are lost, and so many people are still trapped under concrete, wood, and other debris, and may never be found. Why does it take a disaster for people of this world to notice the poverty and destitute living of others?? People are acting surprised by the conditions of Haiti....Just wondering, where have you guys been the last 50 years????

This and more has been frustrating me this week. This week has been....dramatic, irritating, frustrating, and trivial. Thousands of people are dying and we are worried about drama? We should really grow up and get a grip. Myself included. Right now, I am thankful for being alive!
