This is Hideaki Akaiwa. When the Tsunami hit his home town of Ishinomaki, Hideaki was at work. Realising his wife was trapped in their home, he ignored the advice of professionals, who told him to wait for the army to arrive to provide search and rescue.
Instead he found some scuba gear, jumped in the raging torrent - dodging cars, houses and other debris being dragged around by the powerful current, any of which could have killed him instantly - and navigated the now submerged streets in pitch dark, freezing water until he found his house. Swimming inside, he discovered his wife alive on the upper level with only a small amount of breathing room, and sharing his respirator, pulled her out to safety.
If he had waited for the army, his wife of 20 years would be dead.
Oh, and if that’s not enough badassery for one lifetime, Hideaki realised his mother was also unaccounted for, so jumped back in the water and managed to save her life also. Since then Hideaki enters the water everyday on a one man search and rescue mission, saving countless lives and proving that two natural disasters in a single day, and insurmountable odds can’t stand in the way of love. This man is my hero.

The Whale… If you read a recent front page story of the San Francisco Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso, a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around as she was thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time, and he will never be the same.
Well, this put me in a better mood.
NOOO NOW I’M CRYING
:’)
God this is just too amazing. I love those people. God bless them. My God I cried a little there (I’m so lame when it comes to animals)

This my personal favorite. It’s creepy as hell, and the arrangement really gets to me each time I hear it. And it’s the BEST damn vampire-themed song evah….
And I’m a fan of Gino Vannelli, but that’s beside the point.
Moon Over Madness - Gino Vannelli
There she lies, a vision in the dark
Invader of my heart
Look at me, behaving like a fool possessed
Damned if I’ll be doomed
By this woman ‘neath the moon over madness
Shall I kiss the mouth, stroke the hair
Undress her - do I dare
Or bite into the vein above her heaving breast
Ah, the sun best come up soon
There’s no telling with the moon over madness
And when I see her face
The tuft of hair beneath the lace
I feel the fire of mortal men
As she draws a languorous breath
So full of life, so close to death
I’m filled with wild revenge
Shall I tear into her skin
Let the beast inside me win
I’m so uncertain
Or shall I fight my heart no more
Ease my lover to the floor
And loose my burden
What I’d give to know just what I am
A monster or a man
An angel born of Hell, or simply human flesh
One of which is in this room
Wondering ‘neath the mood over madness
Shall I tear into her skin
Let the beast inside me win
I’m so uncertain
Or shall I end this lonely war
Ease my lover to the floor
And loose my burden
Woman won’t you hold me in your arms
Before you come to harm
And take this tender love and drive it through my chest
Stike hard, do it soon
There’s no telling with the moon over madness
My madness
Over you
A man was struck and killed by a train in West Java on Wednesday in an unsuccessful attempt to save his wife whose foot had become stuck in a railway line.
