common sense

My future brother-in-law is a person I respect and like. A good dad to his kids and a pretty cool guy when we're all just sitting around shooting the breeze, but there are times when I could smack him.

I actually wrote this a few weeks ago, about 3 hours into the morning... The profanity has been edited out from the original post...

I'd like to discuss with you all a very important issue affecting our society RIGHT NOW.

Car Alarms.

The neighbor's car just shut off after approximately 25 minutes of obnoxiously loud, uninterrupted, monotonous horn-blaring.

I do not know where to start. I read some of these blogs and I am amazed.
I am amazed by the lack of action people take and the lack of motivation.

The last month has been hectic around here. My younger sister, as I have already ranted, is pregnant and has begun having complications. She was put on complete bed rest for a while and is now on modified bed rest. While the complete bed rest was going on, Alo ended up in the hospital in respiratory distress from RSV. So, it's been insane.

I freaking love the stickers on bananas. Seriously. Every since we were kids, my younger sister and I would sneak off a sticker and apply it to the forehead. We would then commence to walk around the store, smiling and giggling like idiots.

One of the most disingenuous hatchet jobs I have ever seen happened in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It seemed that the idiots were organized by some evil force.  

Yesterday afternoon in Acoa, Tennessee police brought to end a potentially volatile situation. After an 8 hour stand-off, starting after 41 year old Anthony Todd Ghormleyin taking his injured grandmother hostage, police convinced him to give it up. He cuffed himself and the police were able to lead him out and were able to get help to the 74 year old woman.

Did you hear that story?

  I'd like to have a little discussion about one of my favorite quotes from literature.
