Sadness and prayers for the victims of Katrina.

// September 2nd, 2005 // No Comments » // Cool stuff

My heart really goes out to those in New Orleans, and others that have been hit by Katrina.  I’m not a person that really gets emotional about things, but every time I am watching the news coverage of the aftermath of Katrina I am on the edge of tears.  I can’t help, but think of all of the children that are missing or dead.  Parents can’t find their kids.  That really gets me.  I watched a family talk about their baby that was born days before the hurricane and it was premature so they had to leave it in the hospital, and they just found it today in a hospital in Texas.  I can’t even imagine that kind of grief.  Also, a woman that was still looking for her eleven years old son and she has no idea what has happened.  I wish I could give those people so much help.  I have nothing to give.  I don’t even have enough to pay for my family right now, but if I could I would give as much as possible.  Sadness fills my heart for those families.  All I can offer is my prayers at this time, but I know that only God can really help the many people that have it so bad.  If I could I would invite these people to share my meals, at least.  I can’t believe that it took the National Guard five days to get there to help.  On the news they were saying that when the tsunami hit there was help out there much faster then that.  I have to thank those people for helping out though.  However, I have to look at those people in charge of such organizations with much shame.  Also, Bush has only 850 some National Guard in New Orleans because they are all over in Iraq.  What a terrible shame.  I know that the people of Iraq need help also, but our own country is in a great need also.  What kind of priorities does the leader of our nation keep?  What kind of heart does it take to watch these people on the news everyday and have the power to help and delay so much?  Again, this brings so much sadness and suffering.  The ones that did survive are now in danger of dehydration, starvation, looters, and riots, everything covered in toxic water, burning buildings, and lack of proper medical attention.  Please if anyone out there is reading this and can donate as much as you can to help out these people.  You can give many places including here.  Amazon has collected almost four million at the time I wrote this.  As much as that sounds, that’s still not much more then a couple dollars per person that is in dire need.

Green tea and Japanese

// August 18th, 2005 // No Comments » // Cool stuff

I love green tea.  I have just started drinking it regularly.  I tried it in the past and got those boxed teas in individual tea bags, and that was not the best stuff.  I found some loose tea in a local supermarket and that was much better.  I have been drinking that and I think I want to get a teapot for green tea and some really good green tea from Japan.  This is the site I found and it seems like it’s the best.  I really want to get some of the Kanro Gyokuro or Netto Gyokuro.  I have been practicing a little Japanese Hiragana.  I would love to learn to speak, read, and write the language.  I joined this site, and this one in an attempt to learn a little, but I have not really gotten into it yet.  The most I have been doing is practicing writing these sounds; あいうえおかきくけこ.  That is as far as I have gotten really.  Not much I know, but it’s something.  I feel Japanese could really help me out in the gamming industry, in addition to a general curiosity for the language and culture.
