Well today was pretty much uneventful, apart from my little sister finding out what secondary school she is going to. It's going to be the same school as one of my little brothers, so she'll be in good company, for a year at least, since my brother will be going into Year 11 when my sister starts Year 7. Good luck to her, and I hope she makes many friends, since it seems none of her primary school friends will be going to the same school as her.
There's still a lot of crap on the news about Gaddafi. He spoke to several news channels on Monday, and just came off sounding like a mad old coot. Seriously, he just keeps contradicting himself, which may actually be part of his condition, which is known as being a total psychopath! Saif said on the weekend that he has Plan A, B and C, all of which consist of him and his father living and dying in Libya. Well, that can be arranged! I think for a long time Saif kept his real personality hidden, in order to be well-liked by the people. In fact he's just as crazy as his father, and everyone has seen his ugly interior now.
My dad really likes this YouTube Gaddafi Zenga Zenga video , he keeps watching it! There is also this: What I understood from Gaddafi's Speech , good for a laugh, we need some light moments now and again. Also if you didn't laugh at Gaddafi, you would end up really mad all the time, and that's frustrating!
I must mention what I heard on TalkSport last Thursday evening (24/02/2011), and no I don't normally listen to this tripe station, it was on in my brother's car! Anyhow, they were having a phone-in, trying to be all political (when really their heads are just filled with football crap) and they got on to talking about the UK government rescuing their people stuck in Libya. The guy presenting the show said something like those people working on the oil fields shouldn't have gone, as they should have expected trouble in a place like that. Excuse me, a place like that? Like what exactly? Libya is not always in the news with 'trouble', as he put it! In fact Libya has never been in the news so much as in these past two weeks. You know why, 'intelligent' disc jockey? Because the people just suffered for years and years in silence, they dare not speak up, and now that they do, you dismiss it as 'trouble'? You have no idea how much the Libyan people have been through, it was disgusting to hear such a stupid opinion!
In fact, that's really just been the attitude of most people regarding Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. Some got mad because their holidays were cancelled, others didn't understand so gave ignorant opinions. At least do some research before you open your mouth, please! The people who lost their holidays, well sorry to hear that, but the people of these countries had to make a stand, it was going to happen at some point, so why not now? Imagine if we had a dictator, we'd want to do the same thing. Please think of the people in those countries who always live there, at least you can leave after your holiday and never experience what they have been through for so long. Just think yourselves lucky.
I really fear for the people in Tripoli, especially my family, I hope they are keeping safe, and I just feel totally helpless because all we can do is watch and wait. Inshallah it will be over soon.
