Oceans day? How shitty.

Hello Until now I have kept very quiet about the oil spill happening in the Gulf.

I was being rescued by a friend in Seattle on Sunday evening and he mentioned that Canada was lucky as we don't have the horrific catastrophe (don't quote me on this...) that they are going through with the BP oil leaking into the Gulf of Mexico.

I thought about what he said - and you know, I don't consider this an American problem - I consider this the world's problem. On a recent diving trip, somebody told me that the water I was diving into in Hawaii could very well be the same water I swam in when I was in Alaska, or Europe, or anywhere else I had been. We are all affected by this - given not as horribly as the sea life, birds and people living along the gulf coast, but essentially this is bad for the entire planet.

I've listened to some news and radio talk about the oil spill and it is devastatingly sad. I have even sat down and cried about it. I feel so small, so powerless over this catastrophe and without an end in sight the oceans will forever be different, maybe worse.

What the fuck are we doing? How did we get to this point?

My hairdresser and salon owner Missy is collecting hair to send for clean up efforts. So, if you are in Vancouver, go get your hair cut @ Coup Salon - it is a small thing, but it may make a difference.


I am taking a study break right now (reading up on strata properties and management) and hoping to utilize this time to write something more about it, but with an assignment looming and meeting up with people tonight for a Vespa ride, it might not be realistic.

Aspen got into a fight with a shitty pit bull at the beach today . she has a puncture wound below her eye and I had to take her to the vet. - cried about that too. I am just a bundle of nerves lately. Hope the ride tonight cures that.
