I'm Back

After a little hiatus in which my computer died, I'm back. With a new computer. A lot has happened, both in the real world and in my little life. My Bro has come and gone, which I'm glad is over with. Christmas passed, and was fun, until my compute broke and my family started killing each other (metaphorically) because of how much it cost to repair, and each attempt to repair it went even wronger, costing more.

Meanwhile, outside my little selfish bubble of problems, something alot more serious happened. Yeah, ya all know it. 125,000 people died. Or some number like that. At a time like this, where war and terrorism grips the world, it was a reminder of what nature is capable of. Cooper pointed out how the media seemed to thrive on the tragedy, and he's right. I can imagine some evil head of a newspaper company crying out "Over 100,000 people dead near Christmas!? That's great news!" just so they could sell more papers, but it did serve a purpose. Our country donated so much our country's overall donated aid money went from £1 million to £20 million in a matter of days, and now I think it's even higher. At least the media was good for something.
