I went out this morning and I swear the rain saw me coming. About 20 minutes after stepping out my front door it started to pour (soaking the clothes I wore? Too much bad poetry? I think so, moving on...) I actually loved it though. It's -almost- a spring rain. Speaking of Spring, I noticed that the birdies were all super active and chirping at the dawn this morning. SPRING SPRING I LOVE YOU SPRING!

I was in a great mood until I drove by a sign outside of a local fish and chips restaurant that said 'all you can eat' and I got really angry at it. Maybe I just find things like that tasteless when things like the slaughters in Libya are happening right now and oh, oh yeah, the epic destruction in Japan. Why not a sign that says 'You buy one meal, we will help feed Japan!' or something? All you can eat... pff. Like the people of the western world need all we can eat. Seriously? It's just disgusting to see people sitting inside literally stuffing their faces until they can barely move out of sheer greed and a sick mania.

I've always admired the Japanese people and their culture, but after watching how they have handled this crisis and seeing footage of them actually helping each other, not looting businesses and homes, not rioting, not freaking out, not clamoring for food when food DOES come but rather taking it politely... wow. So much more respect than ever. The entire world could learn a million lessons from these people. Such a difference from 'all you can stuff your face with!!!' huh?

There was a story on the news where a reporter from the United States heard of ONE looting 'finally' and she went to talk to the business owner. She told the man everyone was surprised that there had been no lootings, but that it must finally be happening because she heard about this one incident. The Japanese man behind the counter said 'No, you are mistaken. The looter was white'

^ OWNED.

I wish those people the best. I also wish their animals the best. Anyone see the two dogs in the news? One was super injured and the other stayed with it until help came days and days later? Looks like we could learn a lot from animals as well.

I need to stop being so dismayed over these things though, I'm starting to want to become a hermit!! Oh oh, or maybe a hobbit! I love them hobbitses, and hey, I have Irish blood so it almost fits! I need to grow hair on my toes before I can become authentic though. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm going to go work on some stuff now, stay dry and stay classy and don't eat all you can!! Eat what you need :)
