scary stuff.

i know the shootings happened yesterday, but i was very busy watching the news that i didnt find, nor did i look, for the time to blog about it. im sure you already know about the shootings at riverwalk. i live right down the street from that "high class" area, according to the news. first i heard about it from my brother, didnt believe it. then i heard it from my best friend, got worried. then we drove past it on the way to the gym, woah. the entry way of the gated community was lined with cop cars and news vans. i was worried. i was even more shocked when i found out that this event actually made channel 9 news last night. it also made the news this morning, and, if you were wondering, my house was indeed on television, from a sky shot of the whole area. i just find it so weird. i mean, i know this could happen anywhere, but this is the first time something like this happened in walking distance from my house. i also find it bizarre that all of the people involved in the situation were, at some point, in law enforcement. like my late grandma betty would say "riversides goin to hell in a handbasket."

osama bin laden is dead?

So Im out walking my dog, Lucy, listening to my music, enjoying my day. I walk into my house and my brother says "hey, look what the screen says" so I look. "OSAMA BIN LADEN IS DEAD". I was shocked. One thing that shocked me was the fact that right under that statement was something about Mariah Carey's twins, she had a boy and a girl!! That pissed me off, but anyway, I couldnt believe my eyes. One thing that gave me chills was all the people lined up outside of the White House singing The Star Spangled Banner. It seems like this is filling America with hope, and it actually is quite inspiring. I do find it crazy how big of an impact one man can have on an entire country, though. Well, maybe this will stop all the news on the Royal Wedding, I sure hope so.
