Sick Pregnant Goth Kids Drowning in Armageddon
Commercial on TV: “There is such a thing as a being little bit pregnant. Now you can use First Response to check within five days of your missed period to catch the pregnancy in the early stages.” Grandma would have a fit.
My neighbor’s shocking news: “A small group of Goth kids, with black trench coats and black lipstick and eyeliner, have been vandalizing my condo parking lot and slashing tires.” Can’t help but to picture those little South Park Goth kids–you, too?
CDC: “Tens of Thousands of (flu vaccine) doses may go to waste.” Chalk another success up to the American Press–single copy paper sales went up–thanks to the news generating panic.
Pentagon spokesperson Major Gen. Stephen Speakes: “Vehicles in Iraq to get $4 Billion worth of armor.” and Brig. Gen. Jeff Sorenson says 8000 Humvees will be armored by March 2005.
Almost 150,000 people have lost their lives so far from the tsunamis. That is almost three times the number of Americans lost in Vietnam. On first glance, one might think that Nature is a more terrible force. But, of course, 1,500,000 Vietnamese lost their lives to that war so at second glance I would estimate War to still be the more terrible force. People still cause more death and suffering.
And my sister thinks Armageddon is just around the corner.
Every year, I think the new year will have to be better–how could it get worse? Every year gets worse.
Every religion, philosophy, creed and credo calls for positive actions to insure positive returns. Give and you will receive. What goes around. (He who lives by the sword.) We get what is coming to us by karma or cause and effect. But I can’t do it alone. This year, please giggle more. Find some joy in every day. And do some secret good deeds. Personally, I like to be the anonymous donor of apple pie or other such desserts to soldiers I see in restaurants. My secret identity – Super Mom, whose mission is to nurture all young people with a single act of not-so-random kindness.
What is your secret identity and how are you making the world a better place?
