Guaranteed bad karma...
Things to do tomorrow:
- Wake up at the ass crack of dawn (OK, 10 am, but still...it's early for me, goddamnit!)
- Don't be late for 12:30 haircut appointment
- Treat self to lunch in Rock Hill? What do I like that's out there? Hrm...
- Pick up Land Cruiser and trailer
- Check trailer wiring and taillights
- Root through bro's shed for palm sander, air compressor, and blower attachment bit thingie...
- Try to not get sucked into his inevitable foul mood (if he's there)
- Stop by that farmer's market in RH that I like...yummy tomatoes! And maybe bananas...
- Find out if it's cool with the ultra-picky association here to park the trailer in visitor parking overnight
Busy day tomorrow. TGIF (even though I hate that phrase) anyway though.
I need to stop eating these chocolate-covered graham cookies, or else I'm going to weigh 900#...
But they're so chocolatey delicious!
Don't know when this went up, or how old it is, but this OddTodd cartoon so perfectly exemplifies my life that it's scary. #1 outtake afterward is also hilarious.
Spoke to Rosie online a little bit ago, she informed me of an item of web news: apparently, some kid's sister's ex-boyfriend planned to rob her, but ended up killing them both. Story here. Police then used the kid's blog, (entry here) which mentioned that he (the sister's ex-boyfriend and alleged murderer) was "...already in the house. He is still here right now, smoking, walking all around the house...Hopefully he will leave soon..." to first identify the suspect, and then get him to cop to the crime. Nice work guys, nothing makes for good policework like when you need to have the victim finger the perp for you. (I love that word, "perp".)
What strikes me as really odd, is that the entry in question has 255 comments, of which, 99.9% of them say just some iteration of "RIP". Is this really necessary? Kids who don't have blogs don't get comment-field RIP wishes? Naturally, I had something to add. My comment went thusly:
Hrm, I don't think they have broadband internet access in the afterlife. All the RIP wishes and personal messages (aside from being so much electronic posturing) might be better expressed in a church somewhere. The remaining members of his family are not likely to be here reading comments. Send flowers or something!
Just a thought...let the backlash begin...
-Gene, a self- admitted blaspheming, heathen sinner...
Was that insensitive and/or in poor taste? Guess my karmic account balance just dipped into the red. In retrospect, I can see where the personal messages might have therapeutic value for the grieving. However, for people the kid didn't even know to post "RIP" comments on the blog that no one of the family will likely read, smacks of self-serving e-posturing.
Although the entry from Monday is interesting: "Life has been really hard lately...". The irony of his not knowing just how carefree his life was on Monday as compared to Thursday, or how easy things would become shortly thereafter is staggering and disturbing.
Just can't trust those Asian kids...savages! When will yellow-on-yellow violence end?

haha i just clicked on that link for the
oddtodd cartoon...god..that was funny when he was frolicking around like a girl.
what's funnier is that Gene says that the cartoon "so perfectly exemplifies my life" I've known Gene for like 19 years now...I didn't know he enjoyed frolicking around like a girl. HA!
