BURMA LETS NOT FORGET. Current mood: worried Category: Life Since the oppressive government of Burma have severed all contact with the outside world, through a ban on tv, radio and internet media, It can easily seem to those outside that the terrible oppression that the people of Burma are suffering is over, but far from it. Reports leaking from the Country suggest that things are still bad and getting worse. Here is what Amnesty international have to say on the matter. Burma crisis - Stop the bloodshed Violent crackdown on protesters continues A heavy military presence on Burma's streets, combined with mass arrests, has stamped out the massive protests of the past week. Huge numbers of troops are visible on street corners across Yangon, the focal point for the demonstrations, and fear is widespread. The flood of reports in the city of alleged brutal killings, disappearances and arrests is causing major concern for the people of Burma and those watching the continuing crisis. Watch footage of protests in Burma (RealPlayer) Background Amnesty International has long documented Burma's appalling human rights record. This includes widespread and systematic human rights violations: The holding of more than 1,160 political prisoners in deteriorating prison conditions. Detainees include most senior opposition figures The use of torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, especially during interrogation and pre-trial detention The use of child soldiers and forced labour Laws that criminalise the peaceful expression of political dissent People frequently being arrested without warrant and held incommunicado Judicial proceedings against political detainees that fall short of international fair trial standards Defendants being denied the right to legal counsel and prosecutors relying on confessions extracted through torture Act nowto protect peaceful protestors The Governments hope is that through the meassures it has taken through the media ban, the world will forget their peoples plight, We must not let them succeed in this endeavour. The problem we face is that the media of the western world are there to make interesting tv, and if there is nothing to report the situation is put on the shelf until something terrible happens. Lets not wait for that to happen to remind us. Lets act now, by writing to our governments, and the chinese government demanding that they act to stop these crimes against humanity. Look out for any protest that are taking place that we can attend.. Also you can do what i have done and bring the situation to peoples attention by writing an entry in our blogs and on our comments on myspace etc. We all have the tools to be able to do this and this seemingly small act can reach so many and do so much. I thank you all very much for your attention on this matter and hope and pray you all have the love and compassion in your hearts to act NOW. With Metta (LOVING KINDNESS) Garry D. AKA SOOPANOVA.

It feels like love is just another form of suicide. my friend wrote that on a desk in science class and other girls responded. LOVE IS JUST A WASTE IF U DONT EVEN HAVE A BOYFRIEND.....when will i ever get a boyfriend who understnads me and cares about me....i cant even wear make-up till im 16! or even date! So i think guys are wasted on me...

thank god. i swear, i think i would die if it wasn't for the fact that we only have 5 more days to wake up. i can handle that. :). one more day to wake up this week and i am completely okay with that.

well, i guess i'm currently married to my crush, and he's spreading that around :) haha. whatever. i really hate that i like him, because he's GAY!!!! wtf? how do i fall for a GAY guy? i dont understand it... i guess maybe it's because he's become one of my closest guy friends... man, i like him, and i'm going to try the trick that mrs. miller taught us about the pupils, i'm wondering if he'll use it on me, because he knows that i like him... :)

well, i'm gonna go, i'm hanging out with emmah and allen.

Peace. :D

Blair was up when i got home and his whole agenda was for me to meet his mom. I was nervous and excited. We went to flea market to drop off laptop at the kernal's. We then went to petersburg and he was pissed cuz we had to have his tire fixed cuz he done messed up the rim. It got fixed but he blamed it on potholes in richmond. lol His mom was really nice. Blair and I are gonna be moving with each other and Im excited about that as well. We gon make this work! We then went to pick up my car and my laptop and shot to my uncle's house and i went to see curuchi and tito who live across from each other. We also got to see my twin cousins stephany and her sis. Stephany likes to travel and even went to chicago, holla. Nano was there. We were asked to stay for dinner but I thought Blair wasnt up for it so I said I had to go to work which was true. Blair actually wanted to stay! Poorcommunication on my part. Well at home, I put Blair to cook. He made this steaks that came out really good. Ihad the rice and beans. His plate was spic and span. I'm glad he enjoyed it cus boy is he picky. We went to sleep till I had to get up and he basically dragged me off the bed so i can wake up. lol

Ik vroeg na het avondeten (die nu ergens een reisje door de riool maakt) aan ma of ik naar een internaat mag volgend schooljaar. Hetzelfde waar Lot naartoe zal gaan. Het is een internaat waar er psychiaters nzo voor je klaar staan en van die dingen en ma zei verrassend snel dat het mocht. Ze vroeg wel of ik niet het 'thuis zijn' ontvluchtte en ik heb gezegd dat het gewoon veel beter zou zijn. Voor mijn huisgenoten en voor mezelf. En ik zei erbij dat het ook was omdat ik de sfeer in huis niet meer kan verdragen. Alleen een beetje subtieler. Ze vraagt zo'n dingen de laatste week constant. Hoe ik me voel en wat er mis is enzo. Vorige week zondag flipte ik echt helemaal en ze is echt ongerust. Ik sloeg een raam in, viel John aan en maakte een deur kapot. Ma moest me opsluiten zodat ik niemand pijn meer kon doen. Het is een beetje wazig nu. De laatste tijd lijkt alles vrij wazig. Ik weet niet hoe ik aan maaltijden zou kunnen ontsnappen in het internaat. Ik kan zeggen dat ik 's morgens nooit eet (dat doen zo veel mensen) en in de middag "eet" ik op school. Hopelijk zijn het daar boterhammen als avondmaal, die kan ik makkelijk wegsteken of er heel weinig van eten. Ik zie wel.

Gisteren kocht ik nog 'Digital versatile doom', de live dvd en cd van HIM. Het is echt fantastisch. Het interview met Ville deed me heel diep nadenken over dingen. Het hield mijn hersenen tot diep in de nacht bezig. Maar ik moet me op de examens concentreren. Niet dat het echt lukt. Hopelijk buis ik niet.

Doei x

Well no one responded to my other entry, but what ever, I don't really care. It is finally summer and it is so exciting. June and July is filled up but August is completely empty. My dog tore his acl AGAIN, but this time it was the other leg. He has to get another expensive surgery, less money for college!

That's all! This summer had ended, but I can't say, that I'm upset about it. It was maby the best time in my life...but now...more meeting with friends, more work for me

My love...I don't understand anything about him and about me. I's very hard for me? but I can't sat, that I've dissapointed in him.I want to see him,hug and kiss, but...another question:what wants he.

Universe entry of the day

The funny thing, Ed, is that in spite of the euphoria one feels upon entering paradise, cloaked in miracles, surrounded by angels, love, and unimaginable beauty, it gradually becomes all they know, commonplace, ordinary, and then, shockingly... invisible.

Yep, I'm talking about life on earth.

Love, love, love, da-da-da, love, love, love, etc., etc.

Famous and great song. The longer I ponder it the more I relize and believe that the root of God and all things good is love. God is love is a Christian concept and the only religion on the planet to make this proclamation. Dr. Wayne Dyer quoted someone who said, "The only difference between good and God is "o" or nothing. There is no difference. We are all capable of God like qualities if we share love.
