Not everything has to have a topic. Sheesh!
Moody bitch.

I used to be amazed by a womans ability to go from frigid ice queen to the warmest person you have ever met in under 6 seconds. With all the crap going around in my life I am becoming more like one of those emotional Ferraris.

Just recently I've read an article in one of our news papers about the recent bombings in Spain. My country had its share of terrorism as a result of the polarization of the contemporary camps of the new paradigm.We lost close to 50.000 people in 14 years.Just recently 50 people died and close to a 1000 was wounded in 4 seperate bomb attacks. Orchestrated by our lovely neighbourhood terrorist organization El Qaida. Well at least some people claimed to be EL Qaida. I just love the skeptical in me. It always keeps me on my toes.

At the same time in Europe UEFA football (soccer for our friends from the %2 percent of the world) cup was happening at full force. UEFA made a declaration: "Istanbul is not safe because of the attacks". So they decided to move the games to a neutral more "Safe" stadium. It was the biggest victory those cock suckers (Terrorists) had won in my eyes.

The article I mentioned was about one of our sports clubs that played Valencia, a Spanish team. The vice president of our club made this declaration:

"We have suffered from terrorism for many years. We understand the pain suffered by the Spanish. Because of this will not ask UEFA to postpone the second round game. If there is no postponement decision by UEFA we will fly to Spain and play our game. As Turks we will be there to support and also join Spains fight against terrorism"

When I was done reading I felt the goosebumps. I was moved big time by the sentiments of my countrymen. It made me proud. Just 6 seconds before reading the article I was a grumpy little fuck. Who was ticked at the world for not making life easier for me. For testing my patience. Just under 6 seconds I went from a brooding bastard to someone with more positive out look because there still seemed to be hope for my people and the human species.

I guess we all have the potential to be an emotional Ferrari.
