Whats going on?

What’s going on?
  • Half the world — nearly three billion people — live on less than two dollars a day.

  • The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the poorest 48 nations (i.e. a quarter of the world’s countries) is less than the wealth of the world’s three richest people combined.

  • Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.

  • Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen.

  • 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5.

Would I like some cheese to go with my whine???

whining bitch..

I'm in a dreadful mood...unusual since its Friday. I'm usually..Alive-awake-alert-enthusiastic... Looking forward to 2 days away from work.
Recently I've been dragging not just my feet to work.
I suddenly hate doing the things I used to do and apprehensive about things I need to do...then I complain like a J-Lo diva. I used to extend an arm, a leg or whatever to help out and I take the initiative to do things on my own. Slap me silly please!!!.. Now there's a question of 'so what do I get out of this?' attached to everything even answering my phone or scratching my butt...

ah, I guess its time...
Time to move out...and move on...
