Aerlingus

July 28, 2005 · 12 Comments

I’ve officially bought my airline ticket to the States. I’m leaving Wednesday August 24th and will be in the States until my dad’s time comes. Has anyone flown Aerlingus before? What was your impression?

Colon Cancer

July 19, 2005 · 10 Comments

My dad had some tests done yesterday, confirming that he does have colon cancer. At this point in time the doctor is giving him 4-8 months to live. Could be more, could be less, especially due to the fact of his advanced stages of Parkinson’s. At the moment he’s not in any pain, which is a good thing. Don’t know how long that will last though. So I will be heading to the States at the end of August. Since the majority of shops close for August in Italy, and everyone is on vacation, makes finding a flight out at a reasonable price impossible. Once I get back will have to find a job/car etc., since I’m going to be there awhile.

Al Qaeda in Europe

July 7, 2005 · Leave a Comment

The “Secret Organization Group Al Qaeda Organization in Europe” are claiming responsibility for the bombings in London earlier today that has taken the lives of at least 33 people and injured several people. The groups statement has not been authenticated at this time. In addition, in their statement, they warned Denmark and Italy, that if they did not withdraw their troops from Afghanistan and Iraq they would receive the same punishment. What is this world coming to?!?! What kind of enjoyment do this ravages get taking innocent lives?

Explosions in London

July 7, 2005 · Leave a Comment

This morning at least six simultaneous explosions in London’s public transportation system, including the subway and double decker buses. The death toll at this time is unknown, and several people injured. I wouldn’t doubt if this is an act of terrorism, a day after the announcement London will be the host of the 2012 Olympics and the first day of the G8 summit in Scotland. My heart goes out to those that are injured and to the families who have lost loved ones. I hope whoever is responsible is found and receives the most severe punishment.
