And we'll all go to heaven in a little row boat
I just cannot believe what is happening across the world. Every night I get online and check the updates on the tsunami, and it's never anything more than bad news. Almost 120,000 dead now. I'm almost happy that I don't have cable, because I think seing first hand videos would just be too much for me. The looters (these are people who are not stealing because they are criminals, but because they are fucking starving) are being stripped of their clothing and forced to sit out in the street, to serve as warning to other looters. They are now being publically humiliated because they were hungry, and have lost family and friends, oh and not to mention everytime the tide comes in they are watching hundreds of dead bodies wash in with it.
I've just really realized how much I do have. I have a warm bed to go sleep in tonight. I know that my mother and brother will at least be safe for tonight. I have food in my kitchen. I have a closet full of clothes. Everything I could possibly need and thensome. I just really wish I could send something to these people. Maybe if I get this job I'm hoping for I will be able to. Something small of course, but at least it's something. I think it's just really scaring me to know the Earth is capable of doing something so tragic. What little people that I am close to, I hold very dear to my heart, the thought of losing any of them is just too much to bare. It's just putting thoughts into my head of losing someone I love and care for (which is my biggest fear) and I've been upset from this whole ordeal.
I hope everyone has a happy New Year!
