The Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton is undoubtedly the spectacle of the media planned for tomorrow, April 29, 2011. Millions are going to be watching the festivities in [rainy?] London tomorrow, possibly including myself.
And in all fairness, I was asking myself who has the time to be watching a wedding. I mean, to an extent, it's the same old thing, isn't it? A couple making vows and promising to love and take care of each other for the rest of their lives. A wedding between any other famous couple should theoretically be the same thing, in my opinion.
I guess I'm just watching it because there is nothing else on television. It made me think of the number of British monarchs who have been wed; all those years of the British Empire. From the Tudors to Stuarts followed by the Hanovers. Having said, Queen Victoria [and British colonization] wasn't that long ago. A bit scary sometimes when you think about how far we've come in just several decades.

Apparently Arizona politicians are considering the removal of the memorial of Mr. Balbir Sodhi, one of the first killed in the aftermath of the September 11 event in the United States because he was believed to be Middle Eastern. The fact that the removal of a memorial [the commemoration of a deceased person], should not be tolerated. I guess it's reasons such as these that I'm ashamed of the actions of the United States.
Please sign the following petition to keep the memorial:
I really wished this would receive further media attention.
