hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa

so i woke up this morning with no intention to post at 9:39 in the morning, but then I saw an article on my homepage, MSN, that was screaming for attention. It's called Bury Me With My Cell Phone, which is a touching article about how the hot item to die with is one's phone. In fact it was only no. 2 to being buried with your pet's ashes. Although there are no statistics on cell phone burials, this tends to be a common occurance with the younger generation and also the tech savvy.
But why? Why must one be buried make alongside their crackberry?
Well, the answers actually sense.
First of all, some people consider their cell phones a memento of the life they once lived.... As one quote in the article said, "“It’s an extension of them, like their class ring.”
The cell phone is also comfort for the dead, and also for the family of the deceased. For instance, one family gave their loved one their phone charged so that way they could call them later. It makes them feel like they still have a connection. Also, the fear of being buried alive has been heightened in recent years, so being curied with a cell phone can give someone a way out...
What do you all think of this? I understand that our society is dependent on technology, so is this a step too far?

I am in desparate need of a snow day.

time for the spoon under the pillow!
anyways, I just finished reading one of the saddest articles that I have ever read. Ever. It really really tugged at my heartstrings, and it inspired me to do whatever I can to help. Except I cannot yet help with Unicef because I am under 18, or so they told me...
Anyways, I read Cholera Is Raging, Despite Denial By Mugabe, which is written by Celia W. Dugger. It talks about the Cholera epidemic in Zimbabwe, and how their president of 28 years is in denial that anything is happening right now. Currently, water in suburbs has been dried up, and that is what helps Cholera from spreading (washing face and hands and everything one eats). Teachers are no longer showing up at school because their pay isn't enough to cover the 'bus fare'. The inflation hit 231 MILLION percent July, and an estimate made is that the inflation has now hit 8 Quintillion percent, you know, 8 with just 18 zeros...
I can't believe that as the United States is laughing at a President who had a size ten shoe thrown at him, that there are people on the opposite side of the world that are worrying about whether or not they and their children are going to be alive tomorrow... puts things in perspective, huh?
