Alright, I admit it. I haven't been to DA in over a week. I've been doing other things and such. I do have a life, after all.

But I swear I haven't forgotten all about you guys.

I've totally been doing stuff.

What stuff have I been doing?

Well first of all, I've been majorly caught up with the Georgia/Russia conflict. I've been researching both countries, and also been worrying about escalation.

Seriously, Russia has tons of buddies over there. There are those 15 Solviet Republics that haven't all turned over a new leaf like Georgia. There are places like Ukraine, Latvia, Estonia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and others. I could list them all, but it'd take awhile, and I haven't memorized all of them.

But seriously, I've been stressing over it the whole week because it's not just Georgia and Russia that will be effected if none of this stuff calms down.

And it's happening right on the coast of the Black Sea! I mean, I have friends there! What happens if this effects their safety? Russia is already in ships in the Black Sea invading Georgia, and they're quarreling around a huge oil production plant or site or whatever you want to call it. What if the oil lines get hit by either Russian or Georgian fire, and start leaking into the sea? That will effect all the countries that share the Black Sea! Not just Georgia and Russia, but Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, and Ukraine! I mean, geez! Why can't Russia just let things be?

Don't rock the boat, Russia!

Anyway, I wanna hear you guys' take on the whole thing. What's on your minds.

I would especially love to hear from the point of view of people over there!

Like These Fine Friends of mine!
