The Fire shadows I know

Okay, I thought it would be cool to showcase my talents in my blog, so here it goes:

These are drawings (concept art, if you must) of the Grand Chancellors of the LDS whom I know and have played an important part in my life. As one might see, they’re all wearing the distinctive robe of the hokage (the ninja leader of the hidden village of the leaf in the Naruto manga Series). It’s symbolic because Hokages (Fire Shadows) are the best ninjas to lead and manage other ninjas in their village. It’s essentially the same thing in the LDS; usually the best debaters are made the grand chancellors. Also, perhaps, much to the dismay of other people, I like looking at the LDS as a ninja village that I must love and protect at all times—my world, my perception.

Disclaimer: Anyway, if anyone should take offense in the drawings I made, then, well, I don’t know, tell me why and I’ll see what I can and must do.

Can you say "Water"?

The Polar Ice caps are melting, adversely breaking away from each other, news reports say today. It’s ironic because it is in this day, April 7, that the whole world decided that both polar caps shall not be owned by anyone and that they may only be visited for scientific purposes.

As far as we know, this is all caused by the dreaded climate change which is brought about by the overwhelming presence of Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. We’ve been warned, time and again, by the media, environmental awareness groups and even politicians, that this phenomenon can greatly affect our lives, even to the extent of saying that we could be looking at another Ice Age.

I’d hate to say it, but maybe it’s already too late. We’ve damaged mother earth too much; I think she can’t see it in herself to forgive us anymore. Even if we say that she can rejuvenate herself, even with our aid (planting of trees, etc.), this sort of self-healing takes millions and millions of years for her to partially, if not completely, revitalize herself. Not too mention the thousands of species that have been extinct in their own respective habitats, each of which, are essential in the ecological balance of the whole place.

Perhaps we’ve been a little too greedy, maybe, a little too stupid to realize the consequences of our actions. I don’t want to sound negative, but if we continue with our insolence and abuse, we’re just shortening our days on this once wonderful earth.

I guess the best thing to do right now is support environmental movements, make mother earth know that you care for her. Reuse, reduce, and recycle, you know, all that cheesy stuff Captain Planet tells us to do. Walk or bike to a certain destination instead of using your car, you’ll lessen carbon emissions. The earth was once so beautiful; we should let the future generations enjoy it. Too bad, oh well, might as well ready that boat and oar—water world anyone?
