Okay. You know what? This avian flu pandemic shit is freakin me out.
Is it not bad enough that we have wars, terrorists, police officers, car accidents, plane crashes, serial killers, cancer, earthquakes, tsunamis and hurricanes to worry about, but we must also worry about a goddamn plague-like bird flu!?!? Fuck.
I am sick of being scared. I wish I could be a big girl and say that I'm not scared, but something about the combination of the shitty weather we've been having and the loud chatter about pandemics makes me feel that bleak times are ahead.
On another note, I am less worried about bird flus than I am about my big brother who is going through another tough time with his health and it's just tearing me up inside. Today is as good a day as any to be sad and worried about mortality and to pray to a god that I don't believe in simply because I don't know what else to do.
