I was about to quote some lyrics from Manic Street Preachers but that would be very inappropriate and I doubt we’ll hear that song for a long time.

I normally purposefully stear well clear of current affairs on this blog, on the board and anywhere else on t’internet because usually I can’t really be bothered to actually follow through with an argument, I don’t have all the facts, I’m not well-informed and in most cases I’m not particuarly bothered unless it affects my life. Selfish, yes. But at least I’m being truthful.

The Tsunami was a disaster and the worst one I’ve ever witnessed (via TV) in my life. I can’t say I’m not in the slightest bit affected by it, that’d be lying. I would be lying to be saying I’m laying awake thinking about it at night, I’ve got other things to worry about (check the previous post for example.)

I do wish I could help with the relief effort and if the chance arose to go over and do something productive then I would, if the chance arose to to put some of my computer skills to use to help, or anything then I wouldn’t turn it down. I just can’t donate money. Mainly because I don’t have any, not even the few pounds that everyone is donating. This has come at the month where I’m wondering whether I will actually have somewhere to live at the end of the month. I know that everyone will be saying “well, they don’t have a a place to live” which is true. But self survival is the way I live. If I’ve not got a house I’ll be mightily upset, if they don’t have a house then true it’s upsetting, but it’s not my problem.

I know I probably do sound completely selfish, but I make no appologies for it. If I had spare money I would give it. I am giving at work… not a lot but we’re helping.
