Procrastination quote

Here is an interesting quote I found today: "Procrastination is a sign of well-organized. By procrastinating I always know what I have planned for tomorrow"

As a procrastinator I must say Exactly! That's the reason I always let things go. If you try to get everything done now you will only find more things to do. Why not relax a bit and take things easy? Really though there is no reason to procrastinate since the act of procrastination is to purposely put off something, which only results in less productivity.

Blogs
I wonder why do people make blogs. Why do people want others all over the world to know what is happening or they are thinking about in their lives? Some have interesting times like a guy's blog I happened across from when he was an exchange student in Japan.
Recently I've read about a few Chinese blogs. I found out that China even has an annual award for English language Chinese blogs. I know that some marketing companies have made fake blogs to advertise for their client.

As for me. I just blog because I keep losing my journal.

This is the first day a blood transfusion was documented from 1667 with the blood of a sheep going into a 15 year old boy who bled from fever.

Now as for holidays: This the Republic of Malawi 's Freedom Day,

The commemoration of Willams Adams who shipwrecked in Japan and the book Shogun by Clavell was loosely based on.
Flag Day in Denmark.
And Elder Abuse Awareness day.

Today is the seventh day of the Vestalia which rakes place from June 7th to 15th. Vestalia was a holiday celebrated in ancient Rome. I find it interesting because it's for the god Vesta, who was the god of the hearth. Not only did homes have a hearth where they honored donating food to her before and after every meal her but there was also a city hearth which wasn't allowed to go out. Also when making a new city they took coals from the main city were taken to the new city's hearth. Yet despite all this evidence of her being an important god she is one
mysterious ones without any stories about her.

Also some interesting news in China. A new law allows parents to name their children with either or both of their family names instead of former laws restricting it to one name. The reason was there are so many people there are confusions with names.
