A dreary weekend for the world innit?

I had intended to write a little piece of something to whine about the lads' experience at the award-winning Garibaldi at Purvis St.

But after what's happened over the weekend, it would be inappropriate to dedicate a post just to diss at the crap food and service.

It's sad to hear Norway, a peace-loving country, suffer such a shocking and tragic act of terrorism committed by its own citizen. It's sad that he did what he did to innocent lives based on his stupid ideology.

It's sad to see that lives are lost so easily in such a mundane activity like taking a train. Whether it's failure on the government's part or companies' slipshod jobs of building and maintaining the railway, it's a pity nonetheless that families lost their loved ones just like this.

And of course, closer to heart, would be someone who's touched us with her music. We all knew she was in trouble for a long time, but it seems so unreal that she would just leave the world so easily.

They say she's joined Club 27. It is made up of very talented people, but still, it just doesn't seem right to categorise them all in a group because they've left at age 27.

And perhaps we should all take just a little time off complaining today and be thankful for our fortunate little lives and the ones around us.
