And back I go

Today I fly back to Wisconsin. I admit I miss working. It's weird being here and not working. Plus I didn't really do much because I didn't want to overshadow my brother and his accomplishments. I took some pics, but I'm thinking I won't post them on facebook. Keep it so that my friends don't know I was in town. I only told 2 that I knew wouldn't try to pull me away from the family although I found out one would have liked to hang out. He isn't feeling too hot. If I had known I would have found a time to hang out with him. My mom made it obvious that she will miss me. Had a good lunch with the family as well. So now today I have to pack. Make sure I have it all and then head off to the airport later today. Just hoping that nothing odd happens like the delaying again. Although if I get delayed it's not terrible because my 2nd flight is like 2 hours after my 1st one lands. In other news I've been watching the Today show and per usual someone on there made me say are you kidding me. They had the lawyer of that 15 year old that beat that girl nearly to death and a court appointed psychologist. They both make it sound like he just snapped, but I mean when I "snap" I do it right then and there not 3 hours later. I don't text people with my intent. I simply do it. Do I regret it afterwards yes, but I don't go out of my way as part of my snapping. He rode his bike 3 miles. I'm sorry but after a few blocks I'd say it wasn't worth it. Then they mention all these sob stories. Oh he saw his father go to prison. Oh he saw his brother hanging, oh the girl mentioned he was a rapist and some of his friends were raped, oh he kept pushing down his feelings. I'm sorry, but once you confess to something like that and plead not guilty you prove that you want to literally get away with murder. I mean they are pulling out all these reasons so that when he goes to trial there is a possible chance the jury will find them not guilty or be a hung jury. Well if I recall you have to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. HE ADMITTED HE DID IT! So maybe he's hoping for a less harsh sentence. I swear if he gets away with it I'm so ranting about that. Then they had that doctor on that said that a vaccine leads to autism. He got his license pulled and no one has been able to replicate his findings on a larger scale. So he was on saying oh I'm not shocked they pulled my license they wanted to do it. Then when asked about the whole not replicating the findings he starts saying oh the United States secretly settled cases like these so that must mean it's true. Well he didn't say it that way, but in a round about way. Hello a lot of people settle if they think that it will cost more to go to court. Ugh just a long line of people that annoy me. Today's video is Michael Jackson's Thriller. If you've never seen this music video then you are missing out on major pop culture history. I mean seems like everyone knows of the dance. Plus it's a huge production. I suggest watching it. Today's tip is when getting pulled over it's not a good idea to bribe the cop with donuts, but it is funny.

Oh those people

Ok I will get to what I mean in the title in just a sec. I had another weird dream. Apparently the US was trapped in a bottle and called Uzbekistan (where that guy that splits hairs of perfection is from). In order to get the US to get to where it needs to be in North America I had to learn to go from one side of a cloud to another because apparently in this bottle the US is on a cloud. The other weird part was that I was Luffy from One Piece. Yeah it was weird. Well now that I think of it there was an arc where they were in the sky and did sail on clouds. Anyway, I was apparently obsessed with boobs. Nami apparently was my choice prey. Then I don't remember what happened afterwards. Ok now back to the title. So apparently there is yet another gay sex scandal rocking the Vatican. There are tapes that have one of the pope's inner circle guys trying to get someone from the choir to bring him guys. Yeah I always find these funny. Always seems that the biggest mouths get into the biggest scandals. Remember awhile back when it seemed that republicans were just in sex scandal after sex scandal after sex scandal. I just have this theory that the more you repress and speak out against something (like adultery and gay sex) that it's because your trying to hide something. Anyway speaking of the republican party boy do they have egg on their face. I saw this on MSNBC. Apparently there was a powerpoint that talks about the GOP's donars. They even break them down into major and minor donors. Saying minor donors were driven by fear and were reactionary and major ones were ego-driven. It's all in this article on politco.com. Here are two of the slides from the powerpoint.


Needless to say I plan on putting a link to the article on my blog. I'm just wondering if anyone is going to get fired (no). Least not until this gets more mainstream. Like if Jon Stewart comments on it. Or Good Morning America or Today show. Anyway just hope that this little foot in the mouth doesn't hurt the GOP's donors (yes I do).So again when I was working out I got a song stuck in my head. It's Michael Jackson's You Are Not Alone. Now this song has a lot of meaning to me. When I heard that Michael Jackson was in the hospital I was getting my hair cut. No one new what was going on, if he was ok, and what not. As I was getting my haircut the news that he died was being spread. The station I was watching happened to be BET and they played a music video of his. The song was (you guessed it) You Are Not Alone. The song was pretty powerful because I swear I felt him when I was listening to him. I guess during that song it just sank it what I was being told. Now I will say that the music video does make me feel awkward and if you watch it you kinda see why. I just don't want to comment on it because well it's rude. Today's tip is we all get caught with egg on our face. Don't worry that kid will be caught and given a hurts donut.
