There are people on
the net that
have nothing better to do with their time then be nasty
to other
people online. They post rude comments, spend hours a
day talking
about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend
hours a day
talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and
posters for
their opinions and their right to free speech. They
expect everyone
to fit into their narrow-minded little world view or
else they throw
a temper tantrum.
To these people I say
grow up.
Here's a bit of info
people...the
web is a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here,
or who I am,
or what I do, or talk about, or what I look like, or
the color of my
hair, or whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go
somewhere else.
It's really, really easy. Honest. You just click the
little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending,
big, mean and
nasty site has disappeared.
I pay for this site.
It's mine.
That means I can use it for whatever the hell I want
to. Don't like
it if I'm bitching about something in my life? Oh
fucking well. Go
somewhere else. Think I'm stupid for expressing my
thoughts? Too
fucking bad, don't read them. Somewhere along the line,
someone
forgot this simple fact: Live and let live Don't
like me,
cool, fine, whatever, I don't care. This journal
is NOT for
you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or fame
or anything
stupid like that. I write it because I need to write
and express
myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read
or don't, it
doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours)
bitching about
it.

For The Love of Rain I'm sure you've heard of the wildfires in Georgia but maybe not the ones raging across Florida. None are in my immediate area but today, the winds are carrying the smoke in very badly. It's all hazy out there and it smells like burning. If you have any other Florida blogs you read, you're probably going to be hearing about it a few times. It's pretty big (and scary) news. About 260 separate fires are burning in Florida covering more than 20,545 acres.
There's a health advisory because of the heavy smoke and particulate matter increase in the air for all of West-Central Florida. Basically, the recommendation is to stay inside as much as possible until the smoke passes. The ironic thing is that we're having absolutely gorgeous weather with highs only around 78F today and low humidity. But you can't go outside to enjoy it. Weather turned nice last night but will be back up towards 90F in a day or so.
This drought situation is so bad. We're so dry here. As of May 2nd, due to the drought and fires burning across much of Florida, the governor declared a state of emergency. More than 80% of Florida is experiencing moderate to severe drought conditions. Our water bills are going up because reserves are going way down. Add in too much uncontrolled population growth to global warming and the climate changes that are happening because of it and you see a recipe for disaster. (Hrm, kinda like the one we're in right now....)
Anyway, I've got errands to run today. Joy of joys. It's going to be hell to do in this smoke. I needed to get this stuff done yesterday but didn't and this is the price for procrastination. Florida's burning though folks, even when it's not your backyard, it still is your backyard. Today's blanket of smoke reminds us clearly how interconnected the weather system truly is.
