hi everyone. today, i've decided to do something different. instead of being lame and stupid, im actually going to be serious. sort of.....

while i was taking my afternoon shit at work today, i was reading an old sports illustrated magazine. as i flipped through the magazine (on the very last page), there is a story that grabs my attention by rick reilly. its a story about the nets. not the nets we're familiar with. not the ones we use for tennis, basketball, soccer or volleyball. what kind of nets is he talking about......mesquito nets.

here is the information that i got from the UN Foundation website that explains what i am talking about:

In Africa, mosquitoes can kill. Every 30 seconds an African child dies from a malaria infection transmitted by a mosquito bite. Every day 25 million pregnant African women risk severe illness and harm to their unborn children from a malaria infection. Malaria can be prevented through a simple, inexpensive measure: sleeping each night under a net treated with insecticides that kill mosquitoes or stop them from biting. An insecticide-treated net that remains effective at least four years costs just US$5 to $7, but most Africans cannot afford them.

The UN Foundation is working with the World Health Organization, the Global Malaria Programme, African governments and individuals to help protect African women and children from this deadly but preventable scourge.Help make insecticide-treated mosquito nets available to all pregnant African women and young children.

$5 people! thats all we need to give to save an entire family. we spend that on stupid things everyday.....cds, movies, magazines, even gelato! im not trying to be a saint or mr. nice guy, but its just a sad situation for the people of africa.

so come on folks, be nice and help marvin see another day.......
