As much as we get fucked in taxes and all other bullshit this is the ONE thing I truly greatful for the most, I’ll take all shit we get dealt rather then have to buy/build a new home everytime there is a natural disaster. On a side note I do feel bad for everyone over. And I also hope this doesn’t jack up the price of crotch rockets!!! LOL ---

I was watching the video of one of waves that hit Japan after the quake, this things was carrying houses (on fire), boats, trees and cars. I mean all I can think is WTF would be going through your head if you looked out the window of your house and saw ANOTHER house on fire floating towards you…DAMNNNN ---

The japanese goverment has now declared an atomic power emergency pertaining to one of their nuclear plants. The cooling system for the plant isn’t working correctly. Thousands of residents are being evacuated, but they are saying it just a precaution. ---
