RIP Super Aguri

Super Aguri has officially ran out of money... so they're out of Formula 1as of today.

My favorite Japanese driver, Takuma Sato, who shares the same birthday with me is now out of a job... :( Hopefully he can find a new ride soon.

Team boss Aguri Suzuki is noteably upset over the politics of F-1..., he said he just wanted to race..., but lately all the politics and money issues are really wearing him out. But at least he has realized one of his dreams.

Yeah, I've had dreams of being an F-1 driver..., at this point in time, perhaps I could realize the dream of owning an F-1 team... if God intervened on my behalf! :D Yeah, even if it's a low budget team such as Super Aguri! Super Aguri has actually done quite well over the past couple of years... considering their limited budget... sigh... quite sad.

Of course there are even sadder events than this... that is the cyclone at Burma... or Myanmar... It's interesting that on Wikipedia, Myanmar is a name under dispute... so far it's still Burma, not sure what the problems is exactly. Supposedly Myanmar is the official written name, but Burma is still the oral name... the local people also doesn't like the current militants in charge... anyway, based on this name dispute alone, we can probably tell that this nation isn't all that stable. Hopefully this disaster can help bring people over there closer together...

Today's scripture reading was about Jacob's daughter Dinah... who was defiled, but at least the 'defiler' has the decency to want to marry her. I suppose they were pretty genuine in wanting to marry Dinah... so Jacob's family deceitfully make agreements... and just when they let their guard down... Jacob's family slaughtered them.

It's basically one messed up situation after another. No wonder the Middle East is so messed up now. Of course people outside of middle east are not immuned too. Often we are caught in one messed up situation after another too. Yeah, it's depressing...

BUT, there's a Way out! God provided us that Way for us to follow... and if we follow it with all of our heart, mind, and strength... and if we also love each other as we love ourselves... then we'll be able to minimize messing up situations. Even if we're stucked in this messed up situation, we can learn to stop that vicious cycle.

So rest in peace, you super ugly old man... and hello, the born again new man! :)
