The Daily News
1 Isn't it a pity that people would actually applaud a death sentence? Amazing...
2 Well, I had to make SOME sort of comment on the Peterson trial.
3 That's about it.
4 Applause, for gawdsakes.
5 I imagine.
6 Know what was fun? Re-reading yesterday's DN during school. I had forgotten what the heck I had written, but had a little downtime in class today, and just kicked back and read all about the BEACH!
7 It's sorta funny, because I write this drivel every single night, so I sometimes forget what it was I wrote literally minutes after having typed it. It's a bit like shopping, in a way. I shop not because I actually NEED stuff, but because I just like to goof off in a supermarket after all the madness that is daily living at YB. I could spend an hour in Save Mart by my place, and just goof on people, on what they're purchasing, on workers, on all the stupid normal stuff I always seem to need: toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo (YES, shampoo!!!), toilet paper, and oh yeah, food.
8 Half the time I can't remember what I had just purchased. There's always the immediate Cheez-Its (low fat, okay?), cheese, bottle water, and then I pretty much forget after that.
9 That's probably a terrible analogy, but hey, I JUST got in from school a half-hour ago.
10 Yeah, so sometimes I just don't remember what I just wrote! This is pure therapy, kicking back and goofing on everything and anything. A lot of times I just stare aimlessly as this colorful nonsense flits into the garden of my mind like a little lost butterfly.
11 The news just reported that doctors in England are ready to release a diabetes vaccination. Suddenly, I am listening to things about heart disease, strokes, and all the rest of whatever it was that doctor told me I had. So yeah, that England stuff suddenly sounds pretty cool!
12 I love adapting to a new lifestyle. Yesterday, I had two Dove milk chocolates <terrible boy!!!>, a cuppajoe from Starbuck's, a small piece of meat, an apple, a heaping plate of fresh vegetables, and tankards of water. I'm also starting to find places to walk: malls, flea markets, Wal-Mart, and most Vietnamese restaurants that feature Pho.
13 I don't imagine that Dove milk chocolates <the ones with the fortunes> are any good for someone with blood-sugar concerns, but they were just too screamingly tempting. In a funny sort of way, it worked; this behavior triggered my infamous Catholic guilt, and as penance, I made myself say seventeen Our Fathers, sixty Hail Mary's, one Act of Contrition, and I made myself eat bushels of rabbit food and a trough of pure water.
14 Nothing like a good, old-time religious jump start to keep your body and your soul in absolute check.
15 The News. It's now morning, and the TeeVee News just reported something about a guy called "The Sausage King", who is involved in some other murder trial. My wife, Helene, mused: "Is this the REAL Sausage King, or just the Self-Proclaimed Sausage King?" I mean, you can BET there are probably better sausage companies out there, right?
16 Sometimes you just gotta laugh.
17 Well, we have Christmas at YB tonight at 6; come on down and enjoy the tree-lighting.
18 The ceremony will be followed immediately by the Winter Concert, featuring the Choir, the Orchestra, Piano students, and our awesome school Band. This begins at 7 p.m. so come on out and enjoy the good music, as well as the good cheer! Free, but donations gladly accepted.
19 It's getting close to my departure hour; another day begins.
20 May you have a lovely day.
21 Peace.
