And now for something completely different...

I want to take a somber moment for once and reflect on the Australian bushfires that, even now, are still going. As I write this, police there continue to search for the arsonist that started the fires. They have a photo now of the suspected culprit. He's also assumed to be an Australian himself. 

What is it that drives people to do things like this? Because of one act, 181 innocent people are dead and thousands are homeless. It really sickens me to know people out there are willing and capable of committing such horrible crimes like this. And if this suspected arsonist really is an Australian, then it especially sickens me to know that one man would do something so despicable to his fellow countrymen.

I have a friend on Skype. He's not by any means a close friend, because we know each other strictly through a website. But he has been greatly affected by this. Why? Because he was literally in the line of fire. Yes, that's right. He's Australian. Thankfully, he and his family are okay. But my prayers still go out to him and everyone else who has been affected by the fires. May those who were lost live on in their memories and hearts.
