Southern California Wildfires

In October 2007, over a dozen wildfires across Southern California, United States forced the evacuation of thousands of residents. This evacuation comes almost four years to the day after the Cedar Fire of 2003.
At least one person has been reported dead.
Fires burned in Malibu, Lake Arrowhead, Irvine, San Diego, and many other places. California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency in Los Angeles, Orange, Poway, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Ventura counties as a result.
This is the worst case of wildfires Southern California has ever had.

Think of all the people that have lost their homes.
Pray these fires die down soon.
Pray for the firefighters and their safety.



this redundant cycle of taking things for granted and then appreciating them once a tragedy strikes is a tragedy in itself. the saddest part is we're all a part of it.

when we're living the bad life, we fail to count what makes life good.

when we're living the good life, we still fail to count what makes life good.

we all go through each day without thanks to even the littlest things. everyone knows its easier to count the things that have done you wrong and to dwell on them.

but dont get me wrong. im always down to listen to someones problems and be the one to vent to, but dont try to make the longest list of sorrows looking for some kind of credit or praise for having to go through the worst bullshit. just smile and move the fuck on.

it shouldnt take a fire to realize what we got before its gone.

[i kinda went off on a tangent there.. seems like all this fire talk brought out a little personal gripes!]

be safe everyone!
