Obama-Lama Drama

President Barack Obama met the Dali Lama, and China seem to be very angry about that. The long standing political debate over the relationship between China and Tibet, where the Dali Lama is the president-in-exile, and the apparent dominance China has over the country and the Buddhist religion would have escaped the notice of few in the world, but for a man who advocates peace, leads a religion and has no military might, the Chinese government do appear to be acting like a child who dislikes the game because they are not winning.

The U.S.A. have made it clear that this is not private rather than a political events, though how are we to know what took place behind closed doors. The reaction to the meeting though has raised the question, how long will China continue to hold this somewhat strange stance again the Lama and Tibet itself? Relations between the United States and China have been more publicized of late due to the recent Google row in which China was accused of instigating cyber attacks against the well known search engine but their response to the meeting between these two political figures seems as important as condemning a murderer for stealing a chocolate bar.

Ticking away

Only a few hours left until Christmas, then I will be in possession of a few more objects, other than that nothing much will change.

I intend to see the season in by watching Invader Zim in bed until I fall asleep, that's about as festive as I can be tonight.

I was meant to be going to Carmarthen today to pick up meats for Christmas and have see how the place has changed since moving away from it. That will now be taking place tomorrow as it will be slightly easier and such.

This is supposed to be a time of holiday and doing nothing but I still find myself drawn to work, chasing people up for their music and coming up with plans and ideas for articles. If anything it means I have something to get straight back into once January arrives.

Good morning

It's Sunday morning and the sun appears to be shining for once in the history of this great nation.

Christmas will have been and gone by this time next week and people will be wondering what to do with themselves; primarily the people who think that drinking stupid amounts of alcohol at night is the best thing to take place in their weekly schedule, people who tend to say things like "hd fab tme wiv gals" or "got mashed with the lads" yes you're clever people: go drink unhealthy amounts, talk as though these pubs and clubs provide some form of activity, maybe colouring or playdough, then brag about how you remember nothing or how idiotic you were. You are the idiots who will go no where in life but still insist you are amazing even though you work in an office trying to sell mice or insurance for toe nails to people. Do you really think you make the world better?

God this horse is high.

Argh

The back of my neck seems to be hurting today, primarily because I have been sat at this computer doing work or fiddling with software.

Managed to complete a decent portion of my work on Race and Ethnicity but the highlight of the day has to be seeing my latest articles up on the magazine website:

I do rather enjoy my work, and I am damn good at it :-)
Christmas shall be upon us soon. Tomorrow shall be spent putting decorations up making room for the new things we shall acquire.

Lies

All night across Facebook and Twitter people have been going on about the snow, from Cardiff, to Bridgend, to people who live in places I can't spell on the other side of Bridgend.

Yet I wake up this morning to find the world any colour other than that of snow! Did it simply pass us by or were people lying simply exaggerating the fact that it drizzled last night for a few hours.

BAH!

The innards

I have spent the majority of today inside computers, repairing and replacing parts either to make them work again or just for a fiddle.

I know I have finished writing articles for this year but I've already got the itch to find some more people and ruin or make their careers with my literary skills, so to distract myself I downloaded all the Sherlock Holmes radio series I used to listen to all those decades ago.

Tomorrow will be simple, put my genius into finishing off my last assignment, not much left to write just trying to find quotes and material that backs up my arguments but no one wants to say what we all know when it comes to race and racism.
