Woah...that is scary!!

So Friday my friends and I started getting calls from all over the world to see if we were ok. We had no idea what was going on (I love it when this happens, it's not the first time!!) and it actually took us a while to figure out that there were some pretty big riots going on.

So there's riots, no big deal, we just stay inside and 'maintain a low profile', I've gotten to be a master at that. Last night was the first time I saw the news footage of what has been going on around here...those guys with all those swords actually did look a little scary!!!

But, more than likely (haha), the media is making a much bigger deal out of this than it really is...and the fact that not even the locals on the ground here knew what was going on but the international media was present at the riots has caused even the locals to think it was all a big show/media event to take attention off of some of the other major issues going on in the Sandbox. Wouldn't be the first time!

So for all of you who are following the news, it's not that big of a deal and everyone I know and everyone they know, we're all just fine. Life is going on like normal, although who knows what could happen tomorrow!!! Thanks for all your thoughts!!
