The apocalypse has been postponed due to technical difficulties

So, anyone else notice the world didn't end? I figured you probably did, but remember, as Queen of the Universe, I told you it wouldn't end. I did not authorize an apocalypse, so no worries, we're all good. And, no one asked me about rescheduling it for October, so if you want a plasma TV, I might suggest you continue contributions toward your Christmas Club.

This all being said, and this is far more serious than I normally am in this blog, but, as Queen of the Universe, let's face it, at times I'm going to have to get serious. This is one of those times.

Something is happening. The horrific number of deadly storms tearing through this country is absolutely frightening. In a blink, people have lost their lives, and those lucky enough to survive, have lost everything else. Images on our television screens show devastation most of us cannot even imagine. Still, we whine about the most mundane things, and most wouldn't even think to lift a hand to help another.

Seriously?

Let me tell you, as Queen of the Universe, I am no longer going to let you get away with that shit. If someone needs your help, help them. Don't even ask questions. Just do it.

Everywhere I look I see people who have nothing, and I see people who have way too much. And, I'm not promoting communism here, but I'm just saying, if you have the money to go out to dinner every other night, and buy a new car anytime the mood strikes you, think about giving a couple of bucks to someone who really needs it. Besides, let me tell you, in the new and improved Universe, the kind of car you drive isn't going to matter anymore.

Remember, an asshole with a BMW is still an asshole.

In fact, this might by my Queen of the Universe slogan.

Moving on........

Recently, I saw a news clip about a show called "What Would You Do?"

I have to overuse this word and say it again....

SERIOUSLY?

We need to have this show? What happened to just doing the right thing, without the camera, without it being televised, without the need to throw our help in someone's face years later, and WITHOUT expecting anything in return?

People, WHERE HAS OUR HUMANITY GONE?

We see strangers helping others in the tornado-ravaged south, and while my heart breaks (Queen or not) for these people, we need to see this everyday.

Everyday I want to see someone helping someone else. Tomorrow, when you get up, wipe the sleep from your eyes, and drag yourself to the commode, I want you to ask yourself:

Who can I help today?

And, if you don't.......

ZAP!
