Bah

It is no use. I have to go to the dentist.

Excuse my lack of blogging, I want to write something about Japan, but I honestly can't find the right words to convey it all. I can't stop reading up about it. All those people just disappeared out to sea! And at one point I read that the Japanese army want to clear the area but there are people's posessions and pictures still there, scattered in the debris and snow. If that was somewhere I lived, or grew up or really any community and I lived there, I would want someone to go and collect what posessions they could because if my family had been wiped out and I was the only one that survived, I'd want whatever memories I could salvage. I saw a video someone had posted on Facebook from first hand, eye level of the speed that water came in. Within minutes, and I mean single figure MINUTES the water was SO high. I don't think people can really understand the speed or the strength of the force of the water, or the earth quake. I saw some old Japanese guy on the BBC news website talking to a presenter showing his house, and where he was trapped, saying that when the water went down he found the body of his neighbours hanging from a post... and that a child was washed past him and he couldn't do anything to help them. I don't think I could forget that. Imagine surviving that, but having everything you owned washed away from you, and everyone you knew. Would you really want to live after that? What would you have to live for? Sorry to be morbid, but I can't get my head around it. And now the clean up operation is made extremely difficult by the "Nuclear Crisis" which is being dragged through the sensational media... don't get me wrong, I know it is really bad. It has the potential of being... well, it doesn't bare thinking about, but the focus should be on clearing up the debris, housing those displaced and making sure that the weak get what they need, and everyone is kept warm etc... whilst the professionals get on with their jobs and try and sort out what is going on Fukushima Daiichi and not have fucking journalists all over it for ALL the wrong reasons (ie practising their sad and empathy faces to fuel their own careers)... anyway... I digress. I just see people posting about fucking Charlie Sheen on FB or how some woe has befallened them etc and I have to bite my tongue and not say something like "Could be worse, you could have lived through a 9.0 earthquake and then had your entire livelihood and family washed way into the Pacific Ocean. But I don't.
