Katrina the hurricaine has devastated a large area. It is up to us to help make society better, in every way that we can. How else are we going to get to live in a perfect society like Star Trek, if we dont take a moment out of our busy schedules to put a perfect stranger at the forefront.

One way that we can help is by donating blood. Which is exactly what I did last week. It was my first time, I was a little hesitant at first, but with the support of my wife, I made it there and it went very well.

The finger prick that was done to test my blood before hand hurt more than the actual donation. Something interesting for me was to find out what blood type I am. Here I am nearing thirty pretty darn quickly, a third of my life passed by, and I do not know what kind of blood pulses through my viens.

Well I do now. O positive.

Isnt O great? Well not as cool as you think, check out the statistics. At least I'd be able to help 38 percent or so of the population.

O+	38 percent of population
A+	34 percent of population
B+	9 percent of population
O-	7 percent of population
A-	6 percent of population
AB+	3 percent of population
B-	2 percent of population
AB-	1 percent of population
