Forget Decembeard

Hi friends!

It’s been awhile since my last post regarding some idiotic event happening in our crumbling society, however, this post brings some hope for the less fortunate.

Five Days for the Homeless is a charity campaign founded in 2005 by students from the School of Business at the University of Alberta. It is a 5 day campaign in which university students live “homeless” on their campus and make personal sacrifices to raise money and awareness for a local charity (http://www.5days.ca/).

Here Today, Forever Gone Tomorrow

No sarcasm, no creative play on words – just a story that shouldn’t have to be told.

Celebrities Are Sickening

Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ve had enough.

I was mindlessly checking my Facebook feed this afternoon and I came across a post from TMZ, and to no surprise it was about Justin Bieber.

The latest buzz on this young lad is that he may or may not be the father of a potential crazed fan’s child.  She claims that at one of his shows in California she had sex with the then 16 year-old Canadian singer and demands a paternity test.

The Great Blackberry Blackout of 2011

CONGRATULATIONS!
You’ve all survived the Great Blackberry Blackout of 2011. You can dry those tears and put away the panic.

Mr. Hyde can retreat to whatever hole he crawled out of, and you can move on. Be happy. You did it.

I’ve been around for many worldly events (Katrina, Japan, the World Trade Centres, the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami -not so much in that order), but I had never had the feeling that it was the end  of the world.
