So here are some things that I wanted to post previously, but never got around to it. And unfortunately, now they're a bit dated, so I'll keep my views brief.
Balloon boy
Okay seriously, what the hell is wrong with the world today. Who in their right mind would even think to suggest a balloon hoax that involves their 6 year old child? Teaching your kids to lie in an attempt to have your 15 minutes of fame is shameful. I feel sorry for the kid, and the craptastic amount of time he’ll no doubt have to spend in therapy. Recycle your plastic
***** WARNING – Disturbing photos ahead! *****
I saw this random photo blog one day and was completely taken aback. If you click on the gallery “Midway – Message from the Gyre” you’ll see what I’m talking about. In a nutshell, all the plastic garbage in the Pacific gets concentrated in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The pictures were taken on the Midway atoll and birds that nest on the Midway islands end up ingesting the floating plastic and feeding it to their young. The birds end up dying and the plastic that they ate remain in their dead carcasses. It’s a disturbing picture of how man’s influence on life and death can reach out thousands of miles away. If you weren’t into recycling before, perhaps after these photos, you’ll think twice before throwing away any more plastic.
