Not so cheerful news

1. Mass killing in lil ol Crandon, WI
2. Packers lost
3. I'm stupid
4. Haven't come up with a 4 yet

1. So I found out that there was another mass shooting in Wisconsin. Dumb 20-year old Sheriff's Deputy got pissed about some love triangle and went psycho killer on the girl, her new boyfriend, and four other people. Later the swat sniper's picked off the shooter when the finally found him, and now he's dead too. Poor girl, poor innocent boyfriend and other friends....sad sad part is that the town is so small that everyone, EVERY single person was close to at least one of the victims, and most of the people in the town, including the chief, knew all six of the victims. So sad. I cried. I'm such a baby. I cried when I saw a clip of the burning twin towers on one of the plasmas at the bowling alley tonight, too. Seriously I need to get over it. The world is full of amazingly hateful people and angry people, and I know this first hand, but it doesn't make it harder for me to let go of my faith in the wonderful positive possibilities of the human race.

2. I'm all honestly, I'm more upset about WHO we lost against, than I am about the fact that we lost, but we did it to ourselves with stupid mistakes. Turnover after turnover an penalty after penalty in the second half. The problem was, when Chicago started puttin points on the board, the coaches started callin for more conservative plays and we fucked those up, too. If we could have kept our drive and the awesome passing yards, we could have had it. Not to mention it shoulda been a 31-0 halftime score but we fumbled....TWICE. Same player. Get it together guys. This game does not by any means indicate we're not going to be a playoff team...because I think we are going to bounce back better than ever. But, I'm not sure that we are going to be that one team this year that is "the force to be reckoned with." I guess we will see. In the North we still have the best record, but it's going to take soe organization, better defense, and a stronger passing offense to get where we want to. It's alright guys, I still love you, and no other team (but the Badgers...who also lost, disappointingly).

3. I couldn't help myself. I bought the ipod touch 16 gig. (It'll ship in 2-3 days for an estimated delivery sometime next week. I CANT WAIT THAT LONG!) The only reason that wouldn't be enough space for me would be if I would put videos on it and stuff like I have on this one...but I don't need that. My old ipod is starting to crash on me already though so I am trying to convince myself it wasn't too impulsive...but more preparation for what is to come. Though, if that were true I'd stick it out as long as I could and see if they made a bigger ipod touch by the time I need to replace my failing current ipod. I don't need my entire music library on there anyway...I have so many songs I don't listen to. It'll be okay.

4. I came up with number 4. Tim was in New York all last week going back and forth between the Rochester plant, and the Buffalo(Robert James) plant five hours apart. We didn't miss him. Plus...I have to do inventory this Friday and Saturday. Yes, that means I have to work Friday. It also means they're going to try and make me do overtime so that I can do precounts, and try and help keep up with the orders, at the same time. Fuckers. Do you think I don't like to relax? I DO!

There is some good news...I guess. I went shopping and spent lots of money on Saturday and it felt good because I have the money and I don't spend money on myself anymore...just on bills. So it was nice :) New bedding....BOSE Multimedia speakers (talked myself into that one because I don't have a stereo so the hundred bucks was worth it), a new cross stitch, a new purse that I love, a couple new shirts and a new pair of windpants, a new lamp, the ipod....anyway all that shopping was done on Saturday. The part that came in close second to spreading out all my new stuff on my bed...was that I had one entire day with mom completely argument-free. She came to Janesville for the hell of it and I bought her a couple of new books and some glass beads for her jewelry-making hobby, and lunch...for her late bday present. I also got dad a new fishing vest, a Stephen King book he doesn't have, and a couple of fly fishing tools that were in the vest he lost. Good weekend overall. Plus...walked into the Sunday Couples bowling league tonight to find out we were tied for second place (behind first by only one or two points) with two other teams and one of the teams that was tied with us, was our opponent team tonight, whom we beat all four games. I got my average two out of three games. I was happy, but it wasn't hard, my average is only a 144 at the moment.

That's all for now. Did I happen to mention I have six beers in me right now? Haha. Stupid flatlanders...playing football. Grrrrr.
