Hurt

I hurt my back yesterday. It was so bad that I was on the ground writhing in pain. Pretty much I spent the entire day on the floor immobile. Thankfully today with the help of 800mg of Ibuprofen i’m doing a lot better. Massage later tonight and I should be back in action for the weekend.
A friendly public service announcement:
Please STRETCH NOW!

Outsourcing gone crazy!
Posted by Jonathan Chao under Not just another Internet pundit
No Comments
Science, globalization, and economics as of late have been moving faster than our moral fabric and we are forced to play “catch up” both ethically and legally.
Here is a prime example:
In a new twist on outsourcing, some Indian women are beginning to outsource PREGNANCY.
Besides the ethical and usual debate on motherhood, overpopulation, and exploitations, what are your thoughts on outsourcing pregnancy? Personally, my thoughts are that a woman’s body is just that- hers. If she fully understands the risks and is still willing to rent our her womb, she should be free to do so.
Free will, right?

Activa Yogurt Product review
Posted by Jonathan Chao under Uncategorized
No Comments
At first I was skeptical, but this stuff works pretty good at helping out the digestive tract. After a pretty bad bout of food poisoning in Turkish Cyprus, and ingesting massive amounts of medicines, my digestive system simply wasn’t working up to par. I don’t want to get into too much detail, but lets just say that I had a problem. I suffered for the past 6 months and recently when I told my friend, he recommended the yogurt. After about 3 or 4 days, I’ve noticed a marked improvement. (again, I don’t want to get too specific)
It has a lot of sugar in it, so I doubt I’ll eat it permanently, but for a week or two after traveling, it does help. I’ll probably continue eating it for another week and then stop.
I hope this helps a little if you have the same problem.
Cheers.

A bit worried
Posted by Jonathan Chao under Uncategorized

Am I the only one worried about the problems going on in Burma? Oh wait, you do know what’s going on in Burma, right?
A quick rundown:
Last week, Buddhist monks started a peaceful pro-democracy protest. Some government police officers injured some of the monks that participated. From there, it swelled to a larger week-long protest. They are hoping to call for more peace and love, reminiscent of the 60′s flower children protesting their government and exploring more ways to love and show kindness.
Unfortunately, it’s not going very well.
Earlier this week, government troops started to shoot warning shots towards the monks. I am flabbergasted! These are MONKS! They don’t exactly fight back!
According to some news reports and from what I can see from some of the pictures, civilians are pretty much surrounding the monks as human shields to help prevent shootings by government troops. However, the monks are asking for citizens NOT to do so, as they value their lives more than their own. The whole situation just looks like a powder keg waiting to blow. As of today, there are differing reports of injuries, but from what I have been reading 9 Monks and Civilians have been KILLED. If too many Monks get killed or injured; the people will revolt- which will result in a massacre. Call me a pessimist, but I don’t hold too much faith in a peaceful outcome.
Even more, I have yet to see much any American news footage. I hope people don’t forget that the world is bigger than just the USA. Remember what is going on with Dafur and what happened in Rwanda? This has the potential to be just as bad….if not worse.
I guess we can all use a little more peace, kindness, and love.
So today strangers, will you do me a favor? Show a little bit of compassion. Spread a little love. Do a random act of kindness.
Cheers!
