WWRPHD?

I just finished watching a movie wherein the premise was humanity was going to die so the earth could live. I spent most of the movie wondering what I would do if I thought my final hours were imminent. I decided that I would probably sit at my house and read the Bible. Not as a last hope measure, but more as a sign of faith. Going to a church and listening to a spiritual leader would be a good idea. I think that everyone else would have the same idea though and I don't really like crowds that much. Going to my parents would be a big distraction, there would be to much commotion for me to be able to concentrate how I would want to. On the other hand it would be comforting to them if they had more family around. I don't think I would be calling any friends I had or making any condolences to any friends. If I let something go that long, my end would not really be an honest apology. I would like to think that I resolve my interpersonal issues as they come up. I don't really have a loved one that I would try to spend more time with at this point. If I didn't have anyone romantically special to me, I would just stay in my house and wait it out. Death is not something to be scared of. Running around and making myself anxious would not be a solution.

I also want to get my thoughts on the Haiti disaster on here. What has happened there is a great tragedy. Much like what happened in New Orleans and other coastal zones though, I have an opinion. I can't really bring myself to feel really sorry about people who live near what might be described as a tropical zone. Days here in Ohio really remind me that living in such a place has its risks and rewards. We live high enough in the hills here that a flood wouldn't really get to me. Living in a place with a temperate climate year round has some downsides. Earthquakes aren't usually a downside, but I don't have the upside of being near an ocean either. I realize that this is a unfriendly opinion about people who don't really have a means to make that much of a lifestyle change. If I was born in such a place, I would likely think it is great and wonder why people would want to live in such a boring place such as Ohio

  1. Do you know what kind of a place Haiti is?? It isn't a place to be jealous of no matter what the temperature. It is a very impoverished country.
