The Earth is purging.

News of an earthquake that took 10,000 and counting lives in china, and news of Burma where the government is refusing essential aid to victims of a recent typhoon resonate in my head while trying to make candy colored garments this afternoon.

It just seems so pointless. The only contribution i can give back is a vain sense of self importance while peoples lives are fading. People need to be kinder to each other on a daily basis. Self consumption is at an all time high today.

I was in my office for the entire day and the two times i did leave was just disappointing. 

Just stopping to pick up dinner for Sean and myself put me completely off. There is no reason you should take your frustrations out on people who work in the service industry. As a man screams at some poor girl who apparently got one thing wrong with his order. All while the said mans girlfriend is sitting in his car 20 ft from the door completely chowing down on the “wrong item”. WTF. Is it really so hard to be polite and understanding. 

Does it really fucking matter if you got corn on the cob instead of a potato? I vote no. But who am i anyway.

The best thing that happened today was Sabine and her constant affection, Sean and his amazing intellect to which i have to often concede and respond touché and Gary sending me this beautiful creature .

Do your best to be a little bit kinder and a bit more patient because we all live on this very fragile planet and i think at times it likes to remind us of this fact.

I know what you mean, how can we all just sit here in our perfect little worlds while there are so many unfortunate people suffering? I guess that's America for you, but I'm just as guilty as anyone else. As hard as it is sometimes I just try to stay positive and do what I wanna do, after all we only have one life which can easily be destroyed, might as well try to relax and enjoy it.
