8.9 on the Richter scale, 8. "Freaking" 9! And it lasted for 5min. Over a 1000 dead in the Earthquake in Japan!
Oh by the way My name is Cameron Siemers. I run a Non-Profit, I'm 29 years old, and I was diagnosed HIV+ when I was 7years old.
I wanted to make my 1st blog post about what I'm up to in life and maybe a little bit about my life. Well if you want to know more about me you can Google me, I just can't blog about my life in the wake of such a Tragedy.
It's gotta make you think, about what if you lost someone you loved in 5minutes, or what about the people you already lost. I can't stop thinking about my cousin and what a tragedy that was. He was 9years old, he had a brain tumor. Way to young to die, it's my grudge against God right now. I just don't get it, I don't even get how I believe in God. So much crap has happened to me, which is another story, but watching My cousin Cody go through what he went through was one of the hardest things I've ever seen. He was a great Kid, tough too. This is what pisses me of about God. Then I wonder how many 9 year old's died in that earthquake, how many younger or just a little older. I love God but he still Makes me furious! Me and the big man will work it out, but for now we are at a crossroads.
Back to the Point, I don't know if I had a point really, other than Life is short and we just don't get how short it can be. If we really got that maybe we would be nicer to one another, try harder or just enjoy Life in General more. Maybe we would follow our Dreams. I wish I did more of the things I wanted to do in my life, the beautiful thing its not over yet, tomorrow is a new day.
The only thing we can really get from tragedies like the Japan earthquake and 9/11 or any huge disaster is to really start living life because you never know when it's going to end! We all have a Terminal illness, its called life! In that regard I have to thank God, having HIV has giving me this realization, life is Fleeting, so you better start now because you don't know when it will end...
With Love,
Cameron Siemers
