blogger's block

This is terrible, I'm blocked. Plus it's sunday, and I have three blog posts due tomorrow. This is the kind of situation that makes me want to dress like a pirate and yell "Curse you, my unimaginative brain." So what I'm going to do is go on to Stumbleupon.com  and blog about the first thing that comes up. No exceptions. So here goes:

Well this is quite interesting, it seems to be a furry ball. I'm actually not quite sure what it's supposed to be. Well, here look for yourself: Furry Ball. It reminds me of christmas.

Well that was a dud. Lets try again. Oooo Look, it came up with 5 life lessons  I'm pretty sure I've received everyone of these in a chain e-mail.  I don't know about you, but these always seem extremely fake to me. I've gotten into the habit of deleting almost anything that says Fwd: in the subject.
Some of the chain emails that annoy me the most are the religious ones that say something like "I'm sending this because I believe in Jesus" or the ones that say forwarding this will help some little child that has a terminal illness. How can an email possibly prove that you believe in Jesus or help a child recover from an illness. If you actually wanted to help you would go volunteer to help raise money for cancer research or something, and I honestly don't think Jesus will care if you waste your time forwarding an email or not. I'm sure there are more valuable things you could be doing with your time and Jesus would understand.

Which brings me to another web based topic. Many of you are familiar with facebook, and how recently it was a fad to change your profile picture to a cartoon character to 'stop child abuse.' Would anyone like to explain to me how that could possibly stop child abuse. A friend of mine said "Someone will be beating their child then see all the happy cartoon characters on facebook, and just stop." Yep, that will definitely work. I have blogged about domestic abuse before, and as I have already said, the best way to stop it, is to be on the lookout for the signs of it. If you know someone is being abused you have to tell someone. Some people get a false sense of doing a good deed by changing their facebook picture. They think, I've done my good deed for the week and I can be done now. No you're not done, you're never done. Good deeds should happen whenever necessary. I guess the one good thing about this facebook fad, is that domestic/child abuse is brought into more attention, and I plead everyone to be on the lookout for it, so we can actually stop it.
