Sov's Crazy Ramblings

A very merry christmas, and a happy new year. Lets hope its a good one, without any tears.

Sadly however, war is not over. Hopefully this will change this year with the apointment of Barrack Obama to the presidency of America. But you never know do you.

So I would like to do as my queen likely will at 3 and say: Treat everyone with patience and respect and enjoy life as much as you can.. Or something like that.

Plus I will be listening to the queen’s speech, yes I will.

Take care all and enjoy xmas, Now I must go and mutilate the turkey!

About 14 hours ago now 7-8 coordinated attacks took place in Mumbai, one of India’s major cities. So far the death toll is around 100 but that is expected to rise. The attacks involved armed gunmen to assault 2, 5-star hotels, a train station, a hospital and a restaurant near the Taj Hotel (one of the targets). Hostages were taken and have recently been extracted from the Taj hotel but as yet there is no information on the other locations.

As you can probably see it has been quite a dramatic night with a lot of repeated blatherings of the same information and repeated 5 seconds of footage. Something that made me laugh however was the indian television coverage of the event which I was watching live via CNN. There were about 12 tv crews there flailing around and pushing eachother over, wrestling with massively oversized and out-of-date TV cameras all crowding around the survivors, draining the last bit of life out of them with repeated and outrageously stupid questions.

Your thoughts and comments on my dislike of the reporting methods and also on the situation in India are greatly appreciated.

As I am british I guess I should mention a senior british official was there and he reported that there were 7 british hostages taken who have been recovered and are recieving treatment for their injuries in hospital. He refused to comment on the gravity of their injuries.

The overall death toll is expected to rise and I personally guess it will be around 120-150. That is as long as there are no further attacks. Which hopefully there won’t be.

Anyway thank you for reading, if you want more information check out yahoo.com or cnn.com!

Where the hell is everyone? Seriously. I mean I was up all day and all night… well I got up at 6… o.O anyway… lol

Where the hell is everybody? no one all day and it has just been quiet after quiet. Well Jeff came in for a bit but left reasonably shortly after, plus reds came and ruined my mining joy, so I then played WoW and watched the simpsons mindlessly until just a few minutes ago. I got 1 level or less in WoW and I feel it was a bit of a slow waste of my life in doing so.

Anyway I’m glad my life is a terribly wreck like it is now. Also tomorrow im sorting out my surround sound system which I have had incorrectly setup for 6+ months.

Woah, thats what my life has come down to? looking forward to mundane normal activities that would bore any normal person into insanity. Maybe I myself am insane, thats something to think about while I try and go to sleep while not being at all tired.

I’m sure however that I will wake up and find that it is somewhere in the afternoon and I have wasted another good 8-10 hours of my life in an unconscious state.

Also thinking back to today there was something pretty major that I was going to rant about and it pissed me off something terrible… But I just can’t recall it now.

So, Thanks again for reading and now to go and make it look like I have a semi-normal sleeping pattern!

p.s. For some reason I can hear a sound like it is raining outside, and it smells like rain, but I can’t see shit on my street as the government is obviously trying to save power or increase rape statistics by turning off the street lights after sundown, actually come to think of it I havnt seen on even on all week.
