Cat Caught Carrying Smuggled Goods Into A Brazilian Prison

I just read this news today in Yahoo. I say, criminals are stepping so low they are reaching hell already. How low can they actually get to even use a domestic animal as an accessory to their plan to whether escape the prison or simply acquire contrabands into the prison ground of Arapiraca in Brazil last Saturday.

The cat had tape around its body.  Upon closer scrutiny, the contents plastered around the cat's body were several drills, an earphone, memory cards, mobile battery, some small saws and a charger.

The feline is in custody and all the inmates are considered suspect as the cat cannot divulge the mastermind.

Criminals are just becoming so cunning. I think it's stupidity!

Different Folks

This month is a socially challenging time for me. I have met various characters in my day to day dealing and I am not very happy about it.

People are unique and each one has characteristics that I may or may not like but it does not mean I have to avoid them. However, these past few days are trying times for me in terms of diplomacy and patience is considered. I have seen someone I knew for some time to shed true "dark" colors and I have met new characters that will make me cringe and want to smack them on the face.

It would have been nice if the interactions were a bit pleasant but these people really tested my patience and diplomatic tactics. I have already met 3 people who made my stomach turn. One was someone I have known for sometime to be a religious person who ended up disrespecting my family. The other two are old hags who have nothing good to say about other people, who gossips incessantly and mind other people's business.

I am irritated but at the same time, I feel sorry for them because they thought other people like them. On the contrary, even their own fellowmen disown them but life in this place is complicated than that. People here just tend to look the other way to avoid confrontation and harbor enemies. Who wants to go through their daily lives seeing them? No one in their right mind will but this is the harsh reality of life. The world is teeming with different species and unfortunately, these lowly ones have to share the same space as we normal people do.

Let Me Sleep...Please!

We live in a high-rise building. Our flat happens to be in between, so that is neither low and high floor. The neighbor directly above our flat is making a lot of racket in such an ungodly hour. Imagine hearing a loud thud as if someone is rolling a 16-pound bowling ball at 3:00 a.m. That is the kind of noise or disturbance that we have to deal with on most days. It is no use calling the police for the disturbance because if the neighbor is a local then we do not have any say on that. Argghhh!

I could really use a good sleep right now. I need my best sleep aid which is my iPod playing Zen-like sound to calm my nerves.

I always look forward to the weekends because it seems that everything is quiet upstairs during this time.
