nothing to do but flu!

GAH!! today was insanely boring!!! we were pretty much trapped in the house! lol

Damn county council was digging to put pipes down.. so of course the found the need to dig this massive trench across the driveway!! only filling it up at 3 so dad could go fetch mom from work!! now we have a digger on out lawn! Random!!
and boring!



From 2005 to January 2009, 12 human cases of swine flu were detected in the United States, without deaths occurring, the CDC said. And in 1976, a swine flu outbreak in Fort Dix, New Jersey, caused more than 200 illnesses and one death............... What's the freak out about?!?! it's nothing new!!?!?!?!


Every year in the US, between five to 20 percent of us are infected with the old-fashioned flu; 200,000 of us end up in the hospital; and around 36,000 of us die. ..... hmmmm so this is less fatal than normal flu!?!

............ so far only mexicans have died from this thinga majig.. and i'm guessing the hospitals and medicines there aren't exactly the best.... so why exactly are people freaking out so much!!?
Not saying it's nothing.. but is it as bad as people make it out to be?!?! i think it's just like this "recession" it's all media!! we have a mediated pandemic alert!

Meh!! if i die you can laugh and say i told you so!

bla bla blaaaaaa!

today.. what a random day!!! went to Trav's for the moring.. then the mib came and helped Brown-Brown (brendan) with the garden.. i think some of them are a few fries short of a happy meal!! lol played guitar hero with Trav... Mark took a bath!! he was so cute!! slipping and sliding all over the place!!
when i got home i tuned the violin and played a wee bit!! lol.. twinkle little star is about all i can do right now... but it's only been one day! lol but it's fun!!
couldn't play drums cuz of course my sticks Broke (oops) and my gayface brother who hasn't played drums in like 3 years (that's not an exaggeration) decided today that he doesn't want me using his sticks... hmm.. after him getting ciggarette burns on my hoodies i lent him i was more than slightly pissed that he wouldn't let me use his unused sticks!! Dumb jerk!

hmm this swine flu thing is crazy.. i was thinking today how i wasn't worried about going to america in june.. but then i was like.. wait a minute... SHOULD I BE?!!? lol but Medic Meg thinks it should be safe... so i'll believe her.... but just incase i die.... this is me blaming her for my death!!! :P



ooh!!! i made this lil ball out of glue that i squirted into my hands and rolled dry!! then i doubled it's size today with more glue!! it's too cool!! lol it even bounces!! i'm trying to think of a name for it... it's a him... hmmmm i wonder if there's like a book .. like names for bouncy balls... instead of babies! DOUBT IT!!


anyway.. yeah it was a pretty random day!! funny though!! Kat gave me a dead leg and i got whipped in the eyes with maggies tail!! i was crying like a baby!! my eyes were open and suddenly.. BAM it hurt like hell!!!


Ok bye!!

think about it!

hmmm well.. there's like the big swine flu thing going on in america right... nothing major.. YET... but it's interesting to read this email i got.. scary kinda too.... it says that 40% of the worlds population will be affected.. 50% of that will die... that's 20% of the worlds population!! scary thought eh?


About a month ago a seminar was put on by Dr. Susan Puls, who is a cardiologist appointed by the First Presidency of the Church as the head of the church's pandemic committee. She said she was not an expert on pandemics as this was not her speciality, but in the two years she's been in her position, is fast becoming one. She now works for the church on a full-time basis working on planning for pandemics and trying to get the word out to as many church members as possible. There were about 1400 people at the Saturday all-day seminar.

In her capacity, she works with the governor's pandemic committee and the federal pandemic planning agency.

She also said a pandemic is coming - not 'maybe' but is DEFINITELY coming.

She says the pandemic is expected within the next two years but she personally belives it will be 'sooner rather than later.' The various groups (CDC, WHO, etc..) do not know what the pandemic will be but 'first among their list of suspects is the avian bird flu. It's only one mutation away from being easily transmitted from birds to humans and from human to human.'

She said the World Health Organization expects 40% of the world population to become sick. Of those who become sick, they expect 50% will die. If you do the math - there are over 6 billion people on the earth today - that puts the death rate at over 1.4 billion people - and she says these deaths will happen over only a 3 to 4 month period of time.

Dr. Puls related that when the pandemic hits the US, mandatory quarantine's of all infected and NON-INFECTED peoples will occur within the first 48 hours. Only emergency personnel (Dr's, nurses, firemen, police, national guardsmen, etc..) will be allowed to leave their homes - not even to go to the store, etc.. This quarantine will last during the duration of the 'pandemic cycle' which will last approximately three months.

Her main point was that everyone will need a MINIMUM of 3 months supply of food at home as the governments of the world will be overwhelmed within the first week and cannot be counted on to provide food, medical help, etc..

She only briefly spoke on the 'social disruption' that will occur and did not go into any detail about what plans may, or may not exist, to deal with this. However - think about this - if your neighbors (both those you know and strangers) run out of food how might they react? Then think of all the individuals who already live outside of the law and are only 'controlled' by our current legal system. How might they react when law enforcement becomes innefectual due to illness among the ranks and those who abandon their jobs to stay home and protect their own families. Ditto for the national guard and our own military.

This isn't meant to scare anyone - just to provide a 'heads up' as 'to be forewarned is to be forearmed.'

Today.. feelings and stuff... it's all gonna be new!

well... 22nd of april... Elections in South Africa are starting today. let's hope the outcome is good... chances are it'll probably stay with the Anc though...
Also its Travice (my sister)'s birthday... heading off for a braai (bbq) in about half an hour... but i've decided that i gotta write something on this everyday.. so i'm doing it now before i go cuz i might not have a chance later tonight.....

I'm listening to alot of yellowcard again.. i like it it makes me feel great.. like i'm in love but i'm actually not.. haha that was the worst bit of explaining i've even done!! >_<

Anyway... i should go get dressed!


Right now i feel happy... not just content but happy.. and excited about life in general..
i think Yellowcard has a way of doing that to me!!

Bubye!!

Tuesday, April 21, 2009

So today i was listening to this Yellowcard song "one year, six months" and i was like.. hmmm how did i feel one year and six months ago.. i thought lemme go check my journal.. but well... idon't think i've even written in it in the last year and six months!! my journal probably only gets pulled out when i'm like in love or something.. so needless to say it's been quite out of use for the past while... anyway.. back to my point.. i'm like always on the internet so i figure.. i'll give blogging a try even if it is just for me to have some sort of record one year and six months from now.. i see alot of changes coming up so might as well document it right?!

A trip to america...
My impending exit from ireland..
all very exciting but scary.... anyway
now i'll have some sort of way to remember how things went and stuff!


One year, six months
Yellowcard

Sew this up with threads of reason and regret
So I will not forget. I will not forgetJustify Full
How this felt one year six months ago
I know I cannot forget. I cannot forget

I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you

I can tell that you don't know me anymore
It's easy to forget, sometimes we just forget
And being on this road is anything but sure
Maybe we'll forget, I hope we don't forget

I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you

So many nights, legs tangled tight
Wrap me up in a dream with you
Close up these eyes, try not to cry
All that I've got to pull me through is memories of you
Memories of you
Memories of you
Memories of you

I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that we can share
Falling into memories of you and things we used to do
