2007

Evidence of 2004 tsunami lingers on 2 years later.  Gle Jong,  Aceh-Indonesia

2006 was not a big blog year for this wanderlust despite yet another travel-filled year.  Nevermind because this blogger hasn't been too worried that her content no longer has the allure of  adventurous tales but has rather turned into a dull (yet colorful) on-line itinerary for her family and friends to follow so they know she's alive enough to turn on her computer wherever she may be...

...at least not until I saw that my dear friend Arabesque has dubbed me as, "Wanderlustress - saving the world one community at at time"!!!  Sure, I might deserve such accolades but does my blog warrant it?!?...not any more.  And here's why:

My brief exposure to the world of humanitarian aid has made me a cynic, not sure of who I'm actually helping, and even more unsure of whether we're doing it right if we are indeed genuinely trying to serve our beneficiaries.  Both the Sudan and this assignment in Aceh has so far felt more like I'm "saving development programs one office at a time".  Having been trained (literally arse kicked) by the corporate world, I miss the professionalism, efficiency and accountability (to name a few essentials missing from my (I'll repeat) brief, and narrow experience in the running of an international NGO).  This is the reason for a vacuous blog and oh so many therapeutic getaways...my time is completely taken up by filling a management vacuum (aka doing some arse kicking myself), the frustrations of which require me to extricate myself from the mere thought of work at the end of each day if I am to maintain a healthy, sane social life and marriage...easier said than done by a work addicted perfectionist.

And what I actually do have to say about my work, the needs of the 2004 tsunami effected community, the Indonesian culture and my daily life travails may be prematurely and wrongly portrayed with hints of cynicism that I dare not write at all.  So call me a coward blogger...Its ok, I've felt this way before after getting burned by Peace Corps for blogging about Andijon in May 2005.  Nearly got myself kicked out just because I was one of the few voices heard and sought after in a little place where the whole world decided to briefly turn its attention.  I have not been comfortable with editorial responsibility since.

But perhaps I take myself too seriously as an aid worker and a blogger, or I'm actually a lazy blog sloth, or a jaded wanderlust finding little in the world worthy of my time and interest...

I'm staying tuned myself to see what 2007 will bring!

Happy New Year Everybody!

Good post. Thanks for sharing your personal experience with us.

Like aging, sleep is behavior forced upon us.
News story on sleep research, a good example of how education is preditory, deceptive.
People aren't fresher or sharper because of good sleep. The gods control all this.
Actually, they've mentioned that people with favor don't have to sleep and, like aging, sleep is behavior forced upon us.
This is today's research. Expect this applies to early research as well.
Incidentally, the gods create male superiority in the fields of computers, science and math for preditory reason.

There is one geographic clue I have not addressed in years:::Uranus, a planet tilted 90 degrees on its axis. I have stated in years past that I think this is yet another geographic clue offered by the gods, this one suggesting the fate of planet Earth, that tectonic plate subduction would be the method of disposal:::Earth’s axis will shift breaking continental plates free and initiating mass subduction.
Undesirables will either perish in the government marijuana erradication program "gone awry" or be the recipients of reparations granted by the US government because of it.
Or both.
I believe the New Testiment battle of the Anti-Christ and the Second Coming of Christ will ocurr in subsequent years SPECIFICALLY because these people will be distracted with the money during the event.
When the Earth's axis shifts people will be cast into outer space with gold cards in hand.
I think this was foreshadowed on an episode of the Simpsons where Homer and Bart are on the disfavored ship and eject, only to experience a sense of euphoria, expand then explode in the vacuum of space.

Recall I recently brought up the possible Manifest Destiny-positioned Chinese invasion of the United States (west coast) upon economic abandonment by their clone host tools (economic destruction and deterioration.mp3). They have mentioned this in years past.
Newspaper just made a curious change where they combined the sports and business sections, and to properly read the business section you need to read "backward". Like Asian languages.
Tariffs. The gods are instruct their tools to defend open free trade, as they will to the bitter end. The gods have a script and they need economic (d)evolution sufficient to justify what they have scripted for our future, so they use their tools to adamantly defend this concept of fair trade::::The time for tariffs has long since past.
Incidentally, the Chinese recalls (lead-based paint on toys, toothpaste, etc) may be in preparation for this invasion, a tactic esuring a percentage of disfavored affected will fight to the bitter end.
I've recently stated how the gods will use the Japanese as role models to the Chinese as China becomes increasingly Westernized. Expect a cultural movement celebrating Japanese culture in decades prior, much as we witnessed in the west in the past.
If we do witness a Chinese invasion on American soil don't be surprised if the very same tactics the Japanese employed on the Chinese will be used on us. Lack of empathy is a dynamic the gods will find important in the context of justification, niggers:::

Recall how Americans so frequently laughed at the French for their lack of military response when confronted by the Nazi army. To resist would have been suicide. Their reaction was appropriate. The opposite would be one as we witnessed in Vietnam. These are morbidly disfavored Asians and take great pride in their resistance. The gods DO use their pride in resistance by positioning in appropriate temptation, ensuring minimal sucess.
If events transpire I recommend you respond like the French and not like the Vietnamese. If this is a west coast event it may not have serious effect but if it is nationwide the United States will lose over a hundred million in the South and midwest.

Oh Dee,

I wish you every happiness.
