Back, yes I know...

I suck at keeping a blog updated. Well I hope you all enjoy the new layout. It's a little brighter! There are a few topics I will touch on today which include Olympics, Toronto explosion and the Russian/Georgia war.

First off, the Olympics kicked off with a wonderful opening ceremony on 08.08.08 (a number considered lucky by the Chinese. Oh and I wouldn't touch the Tibet situation with a ten foot pole. I can see China put their heart and soul into hosting these games. I am glad to see China get a chance to show how beautiful their country really is. At the moment China is in the lead with 8 medals, six of which are gold. The USA has 6 medals, 2... OK I JUST GOT AN UPDATE! USA is in the lead with 11 medals, 3 gold. China has 8 medals, 6 gold. Korea has 5 medals, 3 gold. Wow, congrats to everyone! Oh and Canada is in 64th place with a grand total of zero medals. (I'm sure that will change.)
WELCOME TO BEIJING!



An explosion rocked Toronto at 4AM this morning (Aug. 10th). A propane factory went up in flames and typically the propane exploded. If you watch the videos on YouTube, it almost looks like a bomb was dropped. The two big questions now are: Why did this happen and WHY THE #@$% WAS A PROPANE FACTORY IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD?! I hear the one firefighter lost his life, and an employee from the factory is missing. I would like to see the government actually take a look into this, instead of sitting on their lazy asses like normal.

I heard that Russia and Georgia are at war. All I really have to say on this issue is that Russia needs to respect Georgia's borders. Stop the war, talk like Georgia offered, and lets settle this already. How many people need to die?

Agree or disagree with any of my thoughts above? I want to hear from you! LEAVE A COMMENT!
