So I guess I'm also posting random LJ posts when drunk. I want to know what else I did that night.

Writer's Block: Swine Times
coffee
tyrantiger
Are you worried about catching the swine flu? Do you have a plan for avoiding contagion or dealing with quarantine?


People seriously need to stop panicking. There have been 44 reported cases in the U.S. (two days ago when I last watched the news). Stop freaking out.

Writer's Block: Beautiful Vistas
coffee

It wasn't as much a view as it was a moment. When I was in Old Town Warsaw a few years ago, seeing double, stubbling around to find water to take advil with. I was walking to a store and at 5 the siren went off for the W-hour, or the hour that the Polish Uprising began. Everyone on those streets stopped walking, even people on the main square stopped walking and gave a moment of silence. At that time, it was mostly tourists too. It was amazing.

Friday Five and Musings from class
coffee
tyrantiger
What is your favorite food from each food group?
1. Bread (Grain) Group:
Artisan bread made in Europe.
2. Meat (Protein) Group:
I love pork, but in the US Beef is way better.
3. Vegetable Group:
Tomatoes, I think. This one is hard. Lots of choices.
4. Fruit Group:
Banana's or Cherries from my Aunt and Uncles backyard. On second thought, maybe raspberries.
5. Sugars, Fats and Oils:
Fried Potatoes. Any form probably.



In class I was told that taking river water isn't good. Then I was told that taking ground water via wells isn't good because you are either making a sinkhole or stealing water or depriving the local ecosystem of water. So my question is, where can you get water without it baing bad. Because, well, I hate to break it to you, but even though they are arrogant, play god, and manipulative, humans are part of the ecosystem, too.

Writer's Block: Guarding the Terrorists
coffee
tyrantiger
If you were ordered to become a prison guard for alleged terrorists and live at Guantanamo, what would you find most difficult about your job?


I wouldn't do it. Because I personally have an ability to think for myself and I would know that I would find it immoral. While leaning on God for many things is comforting, I don't need God to tell me which actions are moral. Same goes for the government, they're great when you need them, but a governing body shouldn't say what is/is not moral. Plus, what to one person is a terrorist, to another is a freedom fighter.

Writer's Block: Jackpot
coffee
tyrantiger
If you won the lottery, what would you do with your newfound riches?




Invest half of it in something reliable. The rest I would split into three and my 'rent and I would each get a portion. With my portion, I would go bum around Europe 'till my heart's content.

Writer's Block: In a Former Life
coffee
tyrantiger
Do you believe in reincarnation? If your answer is "yes," describe some of your past lives.



I'm pretty sure that the reason I'm so scared of the dark and of forests and night has to do with a past life.

I'm also pretty sure that I was somehow involved in the World Wars. Watching movies from these times makes me feel very comfertable, but I hate certain stereotypes that are of this time, which I think also adds to it. I don't think I was ever a prisoner at a concentration camp.
