Friday

Fridays are just like any other day when you have a baby.
She still poops and she still eats - resists sleeping.
Why do baby´s resist sleep by the way? Is it because they have not yet learnt that sleeping is one of the best things with life (up there competing with wine)?
I mean, and the methods she uses not to fall asleep are cruel. Scratching her eyes - literary inside the eye. Pulling her hair. Seriously, come on.




By the way - all you people who posted that viral video: Kony 2012, did you do any research what so ever before?

Well, here it´s done for you:

    Swedish newspaper. Highlights;
  
    *Invisible Children (a lobby group) wants the americans to continue helping the Ugandan army - that is their goal.
    *The Ugandan army are no angels and have broken the human rights
    *The movie makes it sounds like an army built up by 30 000 children. Actually, the army consists of about 400 persons - majority adults. The number 30 000  is over 30 year.
    * The army no longer operates in Uganda, but in the Democratic Republic of Kongo, South Sudan, in Small groups.
    * The Ugandan army no longer see the army as a threat in the region since it´s so small.
Best of
    * A Norwegian researcher on the conflict in Uganda - "the concept and spreading of the movie shows an extreme low level of education among people". Haha, I love it!

"It is the right message but it's 15 years too late, " said Col. Felix Kulayige, a Ugandan military spokesman. "If people cared 15 years ago, then thousands of lives would have been saved and thousands of children would have stayed at home and not been kidnapped."


Anywho, open your eyes, look around - see the whole story, not just the fancy youtube video.
Yes, help the children and catch Kony, but I mean - I am sure you can find badly treated children in your area, go help them instead of clicking share on an iffy movie.


Peace (;
