This entry will probably be short and perhaps not that great, but I haven’t updated in ages and the library’s not open for another hour and fifteen minutes. 
There are from news stories on my Yahoo page.

Really? I mean… really? Just DAYS after getting out of jail for robbery, you commit more robbery?
He’s only 24 and while that doesn’t seem young to me since I’m only almost 23, it’s still fairly young in the grand scheme of things. I really hope this guy learns his lesson this time. Isn’t that what prisons are for? You do something illegal, you get thrown in… so hopefully you learn the err of your ways, so when you get out again, you won’t go back to doing what you did. Or did they just let him rot in his jail cell for two years straight?
I don’t want to be mean here, but it takes a special kind of stupid to just get out of a 2 year stay in jail for robbery, then not even a week after you get out, to commit more robbery. Definition of insanity, folks; keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Speaking of a special kind of stupid, get this: Click here for link
“An Alabama woman has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after police say she let her daughter ride in a cardboard box on top of their van”.
I have few words for this. It’s just…. no.
And it makes you wonder. What other stupid things has this mother let her daughter do?
Wait honey! Let me throw some gravel on the lawn before you mow it in flip flops and absolutely no protective clothing!
Sure, you can meet that “14 year old” that just messaged you on myspace! Hell, I’ll even drive you there! Hop into the cardboard box on top of our junked up van and we can leave right away!
Ugh. Just think of the whole new dimension of shit the mother would be in if the girl had gotten seriously hurt or even killed. I’m glad the girl is all right but.. really.
Speaking of people getting hurt, I just found this little gem:

These guys scale barbed wire fences and shit to stick their arm in a tiger cage at 1 in the morning, and people question the zoo security?
It’s zoo security as in the whole zoo… They don’t get paid to stand in front of the tiger cage all night, they have other animals to check up on.Fuck’s sake. I really don’t wish harm on anybody but it would serve the more injured man right if he lost the arm that that tiger mauled.
There is nothing wrong with the tiger. He was acting on instinct. He was being a tiger. Now I of course don’t know what that is like but as a prowling tiger in the middle of the night I can’t imagine I’d take too kindly to strangers in my space.
In lighter news, I found a particularly entertaining news story that I don’t have much to say about but it’s definitely worth a look see.

I want a gas mask bra! xD How big of sizes do they come in?
And a tequila diamond? Finally, a use for Patron that justifies it’s outrageous price! (I don’t drink it but once at a party a friend wanted us all to pool our money together to get a bottle, and the general consensus was that we were not going to pay 8 bucks each for something we’d only get one shot of… And an eight dollar shot? Unless it has gold flakes in it and or was poured by a famous musician, there is no way that is worth it).

I am particularly intrigued with the guy who cracked just his left knuckles for 60 years to see if it contributed to arthritis. Now that’s dedication. And… Hell. I’d never be able to do that because I’d forget after like three days…. xP
That is all I’ve got for today’s entry. Don’t know when I’ll be back but I will be back.
