um ...

what was i just saying about life being somewhat unpredicable these days??

this has been a very bizarre week. Its weird how things are really good one minute and just crap the next.

for a change im not even talking on a sam scale but nationally!! Wednesday night, i got in from the live8 concert filled with a renewed sense of hope for humanity and thinking that the world was soon to be a better place. People all over the country im sure were also chuffed about the whole olimpic thing. What a contrast to how i felt on thursday morning, i wake up to find out that London has been subject to a terrorist attack. its just crap!! innocent people are dead, all they were trying to do was go to work. I just find it really hard to understand how people can be capable of such evil. How is it even possible to combat the problem when these are the kind of people who are willing to strap a bomb to themselves and die just to kill other people, what can possibly drive someone to do that??

it didnt compleatly disrupt the g8 summit(which perhaps it was meant to?), and the acton plan for africa is moving in the right direction. And they have promised to further discuss the trade issue...which is the most important thing that needs to change. so thats also good but i hope it doesnt get forgotten about or put on a back burner now that there isnt constant coverage of make poverty history marches or live 8 concerts to keep it at the front of peoples minds...

well, that was the serious side of sam that infrequently blesses this blog with its presence, but there you go.
