| To avoid certain people reading this and mis-understanding the context, I won't get into the details of the event....
But..did you ever go through something and even though it's such a small insignificant portion of your life and it probably shouldn't make a difference in what you do or feel; the event just takes over and makes you feel like crap? One more thing...could this post be any more vague? |
| Just a quick sad note. I just read the news that one of my favorite illustrators has passed away. Will Eisner was the creator of the Spirit; to me one of the coolest looking comic characters out there. If you get a chance, check some of his stuff out. |
| It really takes me aback when I see figures like this in the news....
Now don't take this the wrong way (some may just do that)....any amount of life lost is not a good thing. That being said, 2,500 lives were lost in the World Trade Centre attack.....the US then spends BILLIONS in a war that has nothing to do with this said attack. 150,000 people perish in what could be considered one of the world's most catastrophic disasters of our modern times, and the US offers $150,000,000. Don't get me wrong...that's a nice chunk of change....but really, when you compare it to the above figure, it just reminds me of how much the US government sucks. I mean, the Canadian government is supplying $80,000,000. When you consider the size and power of our country compared to the States, the US offer is horribly low. |
| Wow...it's been sometime since I posted. My apologies. What with the holidays and everything, a person just seems to want to shut down. I know I had grand plans to do some of my own stuff...but those didn't happen.
But 2005 is a new beginning right? I'm not keen on resolutions all that much...and really the big resolution I had began 5 months ago. There are some things that I'd like to happen in 2005 that are probably too early to divulge.....mostly because I don't know which direction this year will take me. In the short term, I have projects that I'll be starting tonight actually. Sketch 22, Trivia at Baba's and the Little Mac Shoppe are all on my agenda as far as projects go. I'm also teaming up with some people on some projects that most internet users in Charlottetown will know. So that being said, I have a feeling 2005 will be one hell of a year! Be sure to check back as I'll be posting more frequently. As well, be sure you head down to the Red Cross and donate as much as you can to the Asian relief effort. |
