OK, I do have a Twitter account. I think I have like 12 followers, all men in India who want to “connect”. Awesome, huh. Thankfully, one of my favorite people on the planet “tweets” on a regular basis. This is a good thing because he is not only funny, but what he has to say is so damn interesting. B.E. (before email), we used to correspond a lot by writing letters. Getting a letter in the mail from him was a delight that is hard to top these days with so many ways to communicate. He “tweeted” something today that I want to share. So I guess that means I am “retweeting” it? Frankly, couldn’t they have picked a different phrase? Anyways, all week long I have been kind of bothered by the lack of news coverage and the fact that no one seems to be seriously dealing with this catastrophic disaster. Oh, I forgot: it’s the 2010 World Cup of Soccer! Even Huffington Post replaced it’s ”The Gulf Oil Disaster” link with the World Cup link. Awesome, huh? While talking on the phone with my friend, he said that, “Sadhvi, it could be that there IS no solution.” OMG. LOL. HELP. My friend figured out what the amount of oil might look like on his website. Take a look. Goooooaaaaaalllll!
Take a look at how this horrible ecological disaster is being handled by BP executives, and the big chief, Kevin Costner. I wonder if Obama finds any humor in that?!
You know, I tried the Twitter thing. I just couldn’t get into it posting “tweets” myself, but I do have some very intelligent and very interesting friends who do. Here is one that is worth sharing:
The “tweet” reads:
BP CEO Tony Hayward: “I’d like my life back.” http://goo.gl/SLOA World’s most clueless CEO?
After reading this I had to conclude that this BP CEO Tony Hayward is kind of pathetic. But not as pathetic as how the BP Oil Catastrophe is being handled. Or the loss of wildlife and animals and dolpins and human lives and the livlihood of millions of people or the beauty of the Gulf. Tony Hayward, why don’t you go down to the Gulf and the oil that is starting to hit the shores and the beaches and help clean up this horrendous mess. You could get back to your villa in France quicker, instead of just wishing it were all over!
There are times when I feel helpless. There are times when I feel like I have to go inside and find some sense of serenity. I think today is one of those times. A friend sent me some pictures of the BP Oil Disaster. My heart feels like it is breaking. Another friend who lives down by the Florida Panhandle told me that hundreds of people, strangers and friends alike, walk down to the beach every morning at sunrise. To say good-bye to the beach. There is not much talking. It feels like a funeral. I have seen posts on YouTube from people who have some very good ideas on how to help clean up the oil spill. And put some hard-working American people to work. Which would also be a good thing. I don’t think anyone in the government is too interested. I could be wrong. I hope so.
