Today was a sad day, I watched on TV as the horrors were unfolding in London. I still get a feeling that this isn't real but in a way I was expecting it for so long. It's sad to think that our sense of freedom in the Western World is being threatened like this. It pisses me off that Iceland is one of the countries that supported the Iraqi war and has sent men over there, so I guess we're on the terrorists shit list as of now? We as humans can't let some loser terrorists that blow themselves up in buses take away our freedom and security. I believe in a higher power and I think the goodness in this World can eventually overpower this evil force.My thought for today is a saying by Gandhi:"Be the change you want to see in this World"
What's on my mind today is the G8 Convention and what a bunch of idiots run this World we live in. Bush is coming to the convention but refuses to cut down on polution or even acknowledge the treaty which most of the industrialized world has. The global warming is not as important as the U.S. economy? I'm starting to think that the man has a very low IQ, "Where the hell will we be if we keep on poluting this earth you moron!"Alot of the protesters are being blocked from entering Edinburg and they have 4000 armed police officers to control 5000 people? There are going to be some shameful human violations because of this summit.Why is it wherever George Bush goes to a summit protesters end up getting locked up or caged off? HMMMM..............
A crazy thing happened to me this morning while I was driving to work. All of a sudden a car from the opposite lane came driving towards me on my lane. This is a high way where people drive 90-100 km per hour. My reflexes were quick and I stepped on the brakes as the driver of the other car goes off the highway down a steep hill. I stopped my car and ran outside after him, another man had reached his car and was pulling him out. This guy was passed out and having an epileptic seusure and there was blood pouring out of his left ear. We called an ambulance and checked the guy out to make sure he was alright, eventually he gained consciousness and had no idea what was going on. What pissed me off though was the fact that the other guy who was helping him out just assumed he was on drugs. I've taken care of epileptic patients before and he was having an attack which makes people pass out and lose all touch with reality. This man shouldn't be driving though and they're not strict enough here in Iceland about banning people who get seusures from driving their cars. Another thing that shocked me is the fact that only 2 of us got out and helped this man out, everyone else just drove on by. Humans can really be sickening sometimes.After this experience I'm kind of numb and afraid to drive, it was a close call and I don't want to think about what could have happened if this man would have crashed into my car. I drive on this highway everyday to work and have kind of become immune to all the accidents that happen regurarly but this woke me up a little. Alot of people have died on this highway it's kind of looked at as a deathtrap. Maybe I should move closer to my work place, it would also save me 90 minutes each day of not having to drive?Anyway, I came home tonight and held my son tightly and thanked god for this day and everyday I share with my loved ones.
