Bodies is in Cali, Colombia

Feeling lucky that this amazing show is in Colombia. Always wanted to go but never got around to it. Then there was a commercial about "Bodies: the exhibition" , I turned to my cousin and said "wanna go tomorrow?" she said yeah and well, we went.

I was a great exhibition, the process was explained and the finished product was a great display of the inner workings of the human body. There were a lot of questions such as why different colors or what certain things like the multiple layers of the brain or the muscle. The young people were extremely knowledgeable and were fast to answer.

One thing I did not get to ask, Why were there no female "whole" body models in the show. not even in the fetus chamber or in the reproductive display. Our party's guess is that at the time that the donations of the bodies were done, there were no females to donate.

After posting this online. There was a related comment. The "Body Farm"  wiki told me what it was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_farm   interesting. At least it serves humanity

Suicide

This is a good website to read if you are feeling like it just is not worth it anymore: http://www.metanoia.org/suicide/ It is not therapy or bs of someone trying to "talk you out of it" it is just someone who cared enough to try to make those who are hurt know they matter. Even if just a little bit.

This is what they introduce themselves with:

If you are feeling suicidal now, please stop long enough to read this. It will only take about five minutes. I do not want to talk you out of your bad feelings. I am not a therapist or other mental health professional - only someone who knows what it is like to be in pain.
I don't know who you are, or why you are reading this page. I only know that for the moment, you're reading it, and that is good. I can assume that you are here because you are troubled and considering ending your life. If it were possible, I would prefer to be there with you at this moment, to sit with you and talk, face to face and heart to heart. But since that is not possible, we will have to make do with this.
I have known a lot of people who have wanted to kill themselves, so I have some small idea of what you might be feeling. I know that you might not be up to reading a long book, so I am going to keep this short. While we are together here for the next five minutes, I have five simple, practical things I would like to share with you. I won't argue with you about whether you should kill yourself. But I assume that if you are thinking about it, you feel pretty bad.
Well, you're still reading, and that's very good. I'd like to ask you to stay with me for the rest of this page. I hope it means that you're at least a tiny bit unsure, somewhere deep inside, about whether or not you really will end your life. Often people feel that, even in the deepest darkness of despair. Being unsure about dying is okay and normal. The fact that you are still alive at this minute means you are still a little bit unsure. It means that even while you want to die, at the same time some part of you still wants to live. So let's hang on to that, and keep going for a few more minutes.



Not bad for making you stop and read.

2010 Colombian Elections

Turns out I am in Colombia once again for the world cup in soccer, but Colombia did not even classify, so the entire country is just enjoying the tournament. Cool beans. The games have not been what was expected, you would think that after 4 years of practice you would see amazing soccer, but no. There is one amazing play in 50 it is kinda disappointing. My grandmother watches each and every game so I follow along and see what is going on with the best of the best in the worlds most popular sport. Colombia was represented by two singers: Shakira and Juanes. Both are amazing artists and anyone, even those that can not understand spanish should take a look. I am not saying anyone will like them, since everyone has their own likes, they are just good artists.

Anyways, the reason for the post today is the Colombian elections. Well the second run. The contestants are Juan Manuel Santos and Antanas Mockus. Mockus is a favorite among the young generation of this beautiful country, however even though it seems that there is barely anything bad to say about this man. Being that he was governor of the capital and turned out to be the best governor this country has had. Has great plans for employment and for control of the violations and gerrilla (the anti gov. rebel group that runs the great jungles of this country). Despite these great merits, his contestant Mr. Santos has won by a landslide of 66% to a 25%. Reason for this is the obvious when there is no "he is a good contestant" response. This contestant is backed up by some of the most powerfull companies in Colombia like the sugar company and by a big part of the senate since he belonged to it OH YEAH and not to mention the PRESIDENT and his entire cabinet. there might as well not be any elections. Maybe one day there will be a very good president.

The previous president began his turn extremely well, but after serving his 2nd turn the corruption is too great even for  a man that started out being totally legit.

Hoping for the best. Colombian Youth
