Something wicked this way comes. It attacks my body without warning. I am a messy ball of sickness.

Random thoughts on the world...

Saw my brother during the past week. First time since 1/1/07. 11 months. Neither of us realized. Longest we've ever gone. 9 days in the entire year. what got in the way? we had fun this week, though. just not enough time together.

Natural disasters are up 20% around the planet since some people decided to start charting that sort of thing. Totally our fault.

Read a three-part series in the newspaper about a Marine and the photojournalist who temporarily made him famous with a 2004 iconic photograph. Taken in Fallujah. The Marine now struggles to put his life back together. Very little hope for him. This is Bush's war. This is the price he is willing to pay. This is the side God wills to victory, Bush says. Anyone know how we can get the country to read the short narrative poem, "The War Prayer," by Mark Twain?

Melba toast baby. Nothing like a diet of Melba toast and 7 UP. I should write a crappy diet book based on those two items alone. And Special K. Replace 2 meals a day with Melba toast and 7 UP. Eat one bowl of Special K with low or non-fat milk for dinner. One serving equals enough to feed a 2nd grader. Exercise every day like freakin' mad. Oh, eat only when football is not on television. In fact, chapter 10 is about throwing out your television and couch. America gets thin. I get rich and do infomercials with a former celebrity (the girl who played Kelly Kapowski on Saved By The Bell). Everybody wins.
