So been awhile since my last blog post so thought I would put some stuff into one.
So the Show Me Your Munny show is in a few days, was really hoping to make it down to Cape Town so that I could attend it, but can't seem to find anyone that is heading that way and back so I shall not be there L.
No onto some sad news that's been bugging me for a few weeks, I think I have become less sensitive to bad new (deaths and suffering.) Sure as a Jedi this should not be an issue, I would quote Yoda now but I am not in the mood to think that hard.
Onto the sadness! A few weeks ago a friend of my Natasha passed away, sad thing it is, we were close, not lately however. As far I can recall the reason I have the name REDD is because she was tired of typing out my entire username on Yu-Gi-Oh.co.za (Full nick is Red-Eyes_Darkness-Dragon) and it kinda just stuck around until I added a Prime to the end and got to what I now am. So I was in shock to learn of her death, was kinda sad but got over it in a few hours, I thought ok maybe it was because we had not spoken in a while, still did bug me that it didn't affect me more than that.
Last week I learnt of another friend of mine passing, Graham, now this one should have affected me a lot more seeing as I grew up with him and we were good friends and spoke often. I had no idea he had passed until someone asked me if I had been to the funeral on the same day! Again I felt shock and was sad that he had passed but also did not affect me at all.
So I thought about it for awhile and it struck me… Is it possible that the current online social craze (facebook , twitter and mxit) has made less connected to people? I am sure that If I had been in contact with these two more than chatting often that I would have felt more pain and sadness .
Now onto something else that involves death, is my puppy (ok so she is 7 years old) Neleh that is being put down today, I am not very happy about this, she is my favourite pet ever, cute overweight dog. She has been suffering with back problems brought on from her size, after trying all kinds of meds and diets to get her to be healthier it was decided to put her down after she couldn't walk.
Sure it is for the best and she won't be in pain anymore but I am going to miss her like crazy.
Ok so that's the sad blog post over with.
Next one will be less sad.

hello REDD. im typing with one hand so there might be allot of mistakes. I personally think as a person grows up and lives life you are exposed to more. You leave the safety net that our mommy made for us and we get exposed to life. Yes maybe the internet relationships make our feelings a bit unreal but i think we do get a bit harder the more we go through. just remember that God made you to have feelings and He gave you friends and family to share those feelings with, even if you blame the few tears you shed on ther onion you were peeling. You have a big heart that carries allot of love in it and I am happy to be someone you love. lots and lots of hugs. little sister ;0
