* Note – I wrote this yesterday before the bombings happened in Boston. I was there all weekend. Thought I shoudl do a little update so I didn’t seem insensitive or something. It’s really horrible what happened. A friend shared this really great article in The Atlantic about the whole thing and I share it with you.
“We actually have all the power here, and there’s one thing we can do to render terrorism ineffective: Refuse to be terrorized.It’s hard to do, because terrorism is designed precisely to scare people — far out of proportion to its actual danger. A huge amount of research on fear and the brain teaches us that we exaggerate threats that are rare, spectacular, immediate, random — in this case involving an innocent child — senseless, horrific and graphic. Terrorism pushes all of our fear buttons, really hard, and we overreact.But our brains are fooling us. Even though this will be in the news for weeks, we should recognize this for what it is: a rare event. That’s the very definition of news: something that is unusual — in this case, something that almost never happens. “

The actual Boston Marathon is today and I know a few people in it. I’m not much of a marathon runner (yet) but my weekend in Beantown was somewhat of a marathon too. We had an awesome time! I wish I was there longer to check out more sights and do more things. We’re already planning to visit again in this summer. Hugest thank you to my friends there for taking us around and showing us an amazing time. Feeling refreshed and ready for a great week! Make it a great one 🙂
Hi there, I discovered your web site by way of Google whilst looking
for a comparable matter, your site got here up, it appears to be like good.
I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
Hello there, just changed into alert to your weblog thru Google, and found that it’s really informative.
I am gonna be careful for brussels. I’ll
be grateful if you happen to continue this in future. Many other people will be benefited from your writing.
Cheers!
At this time I am ready to do my breakfast, later than having
my breakfast coming yet again to read further news.
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails
with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from
that service? Thanks!
No matter if some one searches for his essential thing, thus he/she needs to be available
that in detail, therefore that thing is maintained
over here.
I constantly spent my half an hour to read this
weblog’s posts daily along with a mug of coffee.
Good day! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established
blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.
I’m thinking about creating my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points
or suggestions? With thanks
