Issues and Issues


Hey crazy cats, It's finally starting to get a little warmer here in Florida. There isn't that much ice in the mornings. It isn't that we're complaining down here. We're just not prepared to the cold weather and ice for days on end. However, the sun's out and the heat is slowly coming back up.
Anyway, I woke up this morning and read on the news about the horrific earthquake in Haiti. The country's capital is apparently destroyed. That's pretty bad. We all know that the death count is going to be high. That's just terrible.
That got me thinking again. Yep, more smoke... more fire engines racing down the road. I know that I'm not the only one noticing the event that are unfolding. I know that the government told us that the concept of global warming is as real as the tooth fairy, but I'm beginning to doubt that. I know that the government will not not or hold secrets from us....(pun intended).
It seems like the planet is pretty much pissed at us and is letting us know it. We, as humans, have been a parasitic entity on this world. We rape its natural resources and never even think twice about our actions. We do not care about what our grandchildren are going to inherit. We believe that the planet will continue to give us its bounty without any forms of repercussions.
It is unfortunate that most think this way. Only a few actually are thinking what might happen if we continue in this way. As a matter of fact, we are already seeing the ramifications of our actions. Granted, some of the things are natural in origin. I believe that the natural events are happening as a secondary action due to our incompetence of being stuarts of the planet. Call me crazy, but that's my stance.
I'm the first to admit that I'm not the most earth-friendly dude on the planet, but I do try. I don't think that many of us are really taking what's going on seriously. It's usually the whole "me" attitude. Eventually, it will catch up to us. I just hope we can change before we get to that point.
Moving onto another subject, as some of you know, from an entry done a couple of years ago, I am the proud owner of two beautiful African Grey Congo Parrots (Jasmine and Stitch). They have been such a delight. They continue to amaze me on a daily basis. Their curiosity is only shadowed by their caring and love.
Lately, both have been learning a little too much. They imitate every single sound they here. When I'm around them. They imitate me until the point of nausea. However, they also listen to other sounds when I'm not at home. I guess I have to leave the radio on because I hate the sound of dogs barking. Either that or expensive "game hens".



Anyway, I have to continue working, since I'm doing this entry on my work time. I love the government! Well, I hope everyone has a great day. Keep safe and dream big!
