Caught unawares

Recently it has been brought to my attention that Amy has been seen with another man. After several hours of grilling, she confessed that apparently what she finds attractive in him is “his sensituality and his charming good looks.” I am horrorfied and ashamed that I have led her to these actions. Deservingly, I will brunt the fullness of this burden on my guilty shoulders and pray that I can compete with him. I fear him. I loathe him.

“Let’s eat turkey in a big, brown shoe!”

Two nights ago I was driving home from Wednesday night church. Being very tired, I was kind of in a dream-like state (I fell asleep at 9 that night, which is unheard of). Yeah, so I driving south on 35E toward the 52/I94 intersection when was slowed by a couple of huge trucks. At first I thought the trucks were carrying pillows because I kept on seeing these little white feathers hitting my windshield (although I wondered why a semi trailer carrying pillows would be transporting them in steel cages). As I got closer I thought, ” Are those chickens?” I slipped out my glasses and looked again. They were turkeys.

The cages held about six large turkeys per 2ft x 4ft x 2ft cell; not much leg room to say the least. There were two of these trucks carrying an estimation of 200 turkeys each. They continued with me on Highway 52 where I passed them. I looked at the scrunched turkeys and felt a little bad for them, but I thought, “Well, it was nice of them to pick one of the warmest nights in November to transport these guys.” It was around 40 degrees.

How ironic was it that these turkeys were going South? It would have been more appropriate if they were headed West (which is the more tradtional and romantic direction of death). I had just finished a three day teaching experience at Crosswinds Middle School focusing on migration and I let out a “Hmph,” at the coincidence.

As I pulled on ahead I thought, “I’ll have to write about this in my blog.”

Do you remember the time…?

Well, Josh spurred me on in his blog to read an article about the whole Jackson fiasco. As a kid my brother and I used to argue over who loved Michael more. We hung the “Thriller” poster exactly in the middle of our room. But now for the second round there is little in me that believes in his innocence. Anyway, as I was reading the article from Fox News I read something that was kind of funny.

MJ’s lawyer, Geragos, said outside the jail, ” He understands the people who are outraged, because if these charges were true, I assure you Michael would be the first to be outraged.” But at another time he says (and I’ve heard this several times on the radio), “He [MJ] is greatly outraged by the bringing of these charges. He considers this to be a big lie.” So, it seems MJ’s lawyer feels that he must admit Michael’s guilt too!

It is sad that, likely, most people weren’t too surprised when they heard the news of another molestation accusation toward MJ. I guess I am coming to the conclusion that he should have been locked up the first time. Apparently he still has believers though. I heard that on the latest Britney Spears interview when asked if she believed if the allegations were true she responded, ” I choose not to believe;” clearly a product of Neverland.
