So Here's a "Daily Double Dose of Debbie!!!"

Okay! So I see that since I haven't been tending to my blog for.... a while (a little over a month, *ahem*), my viewership has gone down...

I'm sorry!! I told you didn't I that my college professors specifically have it out for me to fail miserably?!

I know... I don't even have a very good excuse, do I?

Well from now on I'll try to post something at least once a week! Okay?? So in hopes that you guys, my readers, will come back to me, [-O< I introduce to you a "Daily Double Dose of Debbie!!" (Try saying that 10 times fast, haha B-) )

For those of you who happen to be on the outside of my circle of college friends, A "Daily Double Dose of Debbie" is something that one of my friends coined because she couldn't get enough of my irresistible personality (we also happened to be doing a project on the effect that drugs have on the body and somehow the name kind of stuck...).

No matter... I'm still irresistable

So, for the sake of this blog post, let me explain how a "Daily Double Dose of Debbie" is going to work:

First, I'm going to take 2 different things (they could be random or somewhat similar) and then I'm going to take those very different things and make them somehow relatable to each other. Too confusing? 

 

Well don't worry, let me show you how it's done...

First we take 2 very different things:

 

Like Scooby-doo and Japan! Can you think of anything to relate them together? No? This is where I come in and enlighten you!

So you know how Scooby-doo says every word with the letter "R" in front of it (that should at least be common knowledge)?

How about how Japanese people ("stereotypically") can't say words with the letter "L" forcing the word to sound like it has an "R"? 

Therefore: Scooby-doo is technically (inversely, I guess) Japanese!

Agree to disagree, but the evidence doesn't lie  ;)) (Deal with it people, this is seriously how my brain works :> )

So, did you like this? Are there other random things that you want me to compare? Then say so in the comments section!!

Once again, I'm sorry for temporarily abandoning my blog and I'll try to post regularly from now on!!

Don't leaaaaave me!!!

P.S: I told my brother about this theory and he immediately agreed with me, so there! My argument is valid!!

Still don't believe me, huh? I'll make you believe... you'll see....

P.P.S: Let me just mention here that it is not my intention to racially profile anyone, so if you are offended, I apologize.

P.P.P.S: As an added bonus check out this awesomely random video that at the same time still relates to my post! (I meant to put this a while ago... but you know with my brain and all, my priorities are literally everywhere...)

What was I doing again?

Okay So NOW We'll All Definitely Die From Ebola... Probably.

I bet a handful of you have already seen my one month old post on how We're All Probably Going to Die from Ebola, and plus I see that a whole bunch of people are searching up on Google:

It is apparent that the second person probably already died, because he couldn't even finish his phrase.
Does Ebola affect grammar too?

Maybe it's just the paranoia in my head that's talking, but now my prior confidence in whoever is responsible for keeping all deadly diseases contained (a.k.a: away from me, specifically) has decreased significantly. Now, I can honestly tell you that I am very much afraid because of the recent development that someone has been diagnosed with Ebola on American soil (unlike the initial two, now four Americans who were rushed here from Africa for better treatment of the virus).

Thomas Eric Duncan's story (that's the name of the guy who was diagnosed with Ebola) is very touching, because he unfortunately caught the virus by being in direct contact with a very sick "19 year-old pregnant woman" who was in dire need of aid, but the fact that he made it here, not knowing that he was in contact with a woman who had Ebola is what sends shivers down my spine (I guess he thought that vomiting was a normal part of being pregnant? Oh and spewing blood everywhere too). Also, the fact that he could have been in contact with over 100 people since he came here a week ago (now the amount contact points has been lessened to about 50 people, but still, they could unwittingly be carrying the virus) scares me a little.

But of course, like I said last time, I bet there is no cause for alarm, because in order for anyone to get the Ebola virus, you'd have to be (like Duncan) and in direct contact with someone who has the virus and exposed to their bodily fluids (like blood, vomit, and other yucky liquids that also happen to come out of our bodies). 

Please don't sue me Vox! I really like this picture so I decided to use it.

So the question is, will we get it? Probably not, because a) we do not live in the same conditions that there are in West Africa and b) the people who have the virus were sent here to America because we are able to provide the best possible care for a disease such as this (or at least I sure hope so). Also c) refer yourself to the above picture. 

The only thing that really pissed me off after hearing that Duncan was diagnosed, was the fact that when I was watching this developing story on the news,  I had heard about the clean up that was going going on after Duncan was taken to be treated at the hospital, which was good. But, the cleaning crews that were outside of his house, weren't wearing any protective clothing!

Who cleans up the vomit of an Ebola patient only wearing a T-shirt and Khakis? And Who is this random woman?? Shouldn't the area be closed off, because.... uh EBOLA????

Never mind the famous faces... This is protective clothing!!!

At this point I don't care that Ebola isn't airborne, (even though there are experts insinuating that it will be) you should be taking the utmost precaution when dealing with diseases that we know little about!! 

The only thing that I should be afraid of in reality is the contraction of the Enterovirus, because not only am I still a "kid" (I should still count, right? I'm 19) and I do occasionally suffer from asthma (children are dying and becoming paralyzed from this thing!!).  Otherwise, even if Ebola is no longer a world away, I'm confident enough to believe the spread of this virus (and fear) will stop. Just don't panic! And everything should be fine.

UPDATE: It is unfortunate to note that Thomas Eric Duncan died from Ebola on October 8th.

UPDATE 10/31/14: I just wanted to say that the other day I saw this video about all you need to know about Ebola in 94 seconds, so if anyone's still scared... then you should definitely watch this video. Hey! Have you seen this really funny article on how apparently Chris Christie has cancelled Halloween because of Ebola? It's not true of course, but I just wanted to share :-D
