2009

I would liek to wish everybdoy a Happy New Year. I know its been a huge tad too late in wishing but who knows, somewhere in the far corners of the universe, some ppl (or not) will be ushering in 3419 in a few moment's time.

Looking back at 2008, there was little to be encouraged. Not wanting to sound like a broken record, but the global economy is like a cancer patient. Will 2009 be a significantly better year? Let's consider; if the headlines of the few days of 2009 are any indication of what is to come, then 2008 should be a moderately bad year. The Israelis hammering the Palestinians in the Gaza strip like James to Bella in Twilight shortly after the Pope emphasized for peace in that region during his Christmas speech, it is in stark irony that the holiest lands are anything but that.

Closer to heart, 3 of our people were killed in a fire in a club in Thailand. As if the politics in Thailand weren't hot enough in 2008, some twits have to play with pyrotechnics in an enclosed space with barely enough standing space for 1000 people. Oh, not to mention fire and alcohol aren't the best mix in those kinda situation. The morons in the owners of the club have to iron-bar the windows! They just set the plot for Final Destination V or VI or VII (i've lost count)

Well, that's the start of 2009. At least, that's the headlines in the first few days of 2009.
