Always the one you least expect...

I know it's really late or extremely early, which ever you want to see it is fine with me. I just can't seem to sleep and I just thought I might pay my respects to an actor which now, was one of my favorite actors. In case you're living under a rock or don't pay any attention to the news, Heath Ledger, passed away today, the exact cause still unknown. Why do I care you may ask?

1.) For one I enjoyed Ledger's movies, my favorite "10 Things I hate about you" which I own and love to watch all the time along with my mom and two sisters.

2.) The reason that the cause of his death is still unknown is because there will be an autopsy scheduled for tomorrow, there are no signs of foul play, instead at the moment his death is thought to be suicidal.

I have had these painful thoughts in my past and with God in my life, my friends, family I overcame my hard times. I know what you're thinking those of you that did not know this little secrete about me, it's always the one you least expect to do or even think of something as horrible as this. So it saddens me that Heath Ledger taking his own life is the most obvious reasoning at the moment, because he like me, like most stars seemed to have everything so together. So I close saying Heath Ledger, you will never be forgotten in the thoughts of those who knew you or admired you for your talent as I did, and you will forever live on in those you leave behind.

Sorry if this blog was boring to those that don't care about this subject or who was expecting something else from this post. I'm getting a little tired now so going to try to get some sleep and maybe I'll post tomorrow hopefully on a happier note.

Made in China much longer?

I heard about this on Good Morning America this morning and it really bothered me to find out that yet another toy recall had been brought to the public eye. I'm starting to really think about this and wonder if this is more than, just a series of ascendants as we are told. Today, probably even yesterday but I didn't get a chance to see the news, it was announced that the now booming popular toy "Aqua Dots" have been added to the list of most recent recalls.

For anyone reading that has not heard of this below is the actual report that I heard this morning. I don't have kids (obviously that's not possible until the far future) but have a niece, a nephew, and plenty of younger cousins that like to follow the new toy craze. This really worries me to even think that any of them could have easily had access to this toy which contains a chemical so dangerous that there have been several reports of children appearing drug and disoriented and in many of the cases the result much more serious to where the kids fall into a comae. The chemical that was found in the spray which holds the "Aqua Dots" together contained a substance which is commonly found in the "Date Rape Drug." Now this is where I question once again, was this an ascendant?

After all the recent recalls I wonder why are we still doing business half way across the world? Just for the government and major corperations to save a few bucks by exploting sweat shop workers in china, but at what cost? What real cost, the saftey of our child here in America? I'm sorry but I don't find this exceptable, something must be done. I think that China has slipped up one too many times and dispite their "suppose it" extra percaustions and paying more attention so that these little mistakes would not happen again. Let me remind you, the only differents that was noticable was ONE chemical that was specifically told to the makers not to be included because of it's harmful effects.

So I leave all those which read this with this question should we trust the saftey of our children in the hands of China toy makers? Please post comments, I doubt it, but I wonder if I may possibly be over reacting to the whole situation.
