I saw news last night at 1:40am central time (or whatever zone Ottawa is in), reporting an earthquake between Austrailia and Antartica. And because of some discovery channel show I saw last week, I wondered if there would be some tidal waves (the show was on a tidal wave caused by the eruption of Krakatoa (sp?) in the early 1900's).
Tidal waves are definately my number one recurring nightmare.
- With my back turned, I see a shadow form, and I look behind to see a wall of water higher than I can see. I don't run because I know it is too late.
(Had this dream more times that I can count).
These sort of events, where's 10,000 alive one minute and dead the next enrage me. It makes me wish I could find some cynical, twisted joke to make of the dead, the survivors, and the people who love them. Just wanna find the humor in it, because the terrible shit that happens to people, natural or caused by humans, is too much to care about.
It makes me wish that there is no God. Well, actually, it makes me wish He was there, so I could tell him what a piece of shit I think He is, and to go fuck Himself.
And then I await the religious interpretations of this event. Waiting for Falwell and Robertson to say it was because they worshipped their heathen Gods. Waiting for some Indonesian Imam to say it was because Indonesia co-operated with anti-Muslim aggression. Waiting for other to grasp and invent some BS 'reason' why such a thing occured like "To remind us all of the sancity of life", or "be grateful what we have". or other such shit.
Or perhaps this whole thing was a seaon's greeting to the pacific. "Merry Fucking Christmas".

I deffinitly hope people realize it for what it is - a natural disaster caused by plate techtonics, not an angry devine being. It almost baffles me that this is even considered! (Among westerneres anyway... it'smore understandable in poorer countries where educationabout theses things is rare)
Thanks for the suggestion about the AI book.. I think I'll have a look for it... I want tolearn as much as I can in my courses, and AI is one thing I have little background with!
