It’s The End of The World

12Mar11

The wave from a tsunami crashes over a street in Miyako City in an incredible picture taken on Friday but only just released.

So just when things are looking up for me personally, the whole world decides to just go fucking crazy. It’s scary shit that’s happening right now. I woke up this morning to the breaking news in Japan seeing unreal tsunami waves just engulfing land like nothing, taking houses, cars, boats, roads, buldings (everything). It was like that movie The Day After Tomorrow seriously. And now there are fears of a nuclear meltdown in Japan because of the power failures in the region as a result of the 8.9 (HUGE) magnitude quake and tsunami. That shit could just blast all of Asia in one shot. Scary shit.

What else.. A couple weeks back in New Zealand there was that huge earthquake, as well. That town is basically ruined and they’ve already decided to demolish it all because of the extensive damage. Damage and death tolls high.

And we’ve got the wave of revoutions in the Middle East starting with Tunisia following with Egypt and now Libya. Libya is the worst yet. Current dictator is just killing his people with no regard at all and refuses to leave the country despite huge international pressures for him to step-down (well he is willing to leave but only if he can keep his fortunes, I think.. it’s really fucked up –he’s really fucked up). Though attention is on Libya, Egypt still isn’t fixed yet and protests and conflicts are happening between Muslims and Catholics and a bunch of other things. Same for Tunisia, I think. And it is foreseeable that other Middle Eastern countries will follow by example of their neighbours and begin to revolt against their dictorship/authoritarian regimes. It will be violent and many lives will be lost. But it is for the bestI suppose. The purpose of the revolutions have good intentions: overthrow dictator and bring democracy.

It’s really tough right now because the Middle East will need international support and institutional guidance to transition themselves into democracy. This will take its toll on dominant states in the world today because of everything that is happening. Economy is weak in the US, European countries are not very strong either, natural disasters are striking and striking hard.

On top of all this, we have a crazy man Charlie Sheen doing his crazy ass thing with millions of followers. #notwinning.

So, all the problems in my life feel so insignificant right now when I see all the madness happening right now. People say it’s the end of the world in 2012 and with the shit that’s happening now I’m getting kinda scared. I know it won’t happen but I mean, shit what are the odds… I hope everything will get better in time but for right now, there is so much needed to be done in order for the world to get back to normal. Shit is just hitting the fan right now for our world. We’ll see how everything goes.
