I was going to post on social ills and racial divides and such.  It's something that's been kicking around in my head for some time.  Perhaps my piece wouldn't have solved all the world's problems, but it would have added my insightful viewpoints to the chatter and may have in my own little way made the world a better place.

Then a few days ago down the road at Ft Hood, some asshole decided to shoot the place up.  That sort of changed my train of thought.  What a fucking loser this guy is, huh?  Some soldier on Ft Hood said he's glad the dude lived...I am too.  I hope those gunshot wounds hurt like hell.  I also want him to be sure and know that at least a couple of those were infllicted by a very brave woman.  If she'd only dipped her bullets in bacon fat, that would just fill the bill.

Anyway, Bob died last night...he's my friend who lives (lived) two doors down.  I'm so sick of this shit!  Sick and fucking tired.  Time for me to move on and move out.  No more hospitals.  Don't worry, though.  This post gets happier.

So I'm flipping the channels the other night and came across a Taylor Swift special where they follow her around getting ready for her new tour.  It's a re-run, so I'm not sure when this was.  Anyway, can she really be that nice???  She's just as sweet and normal a teen ager as you could imagine, except that she's totally awesome!  I think, and I mean this in the best way, that she simply likes the attention.  She's totally unperturbed by cameras being around; totally unflappable.  She seems to genuinely appreciate her fans, which I find very appealing, especially after seeing some of the petulant spoiled brats that emanate from Hollywood.  (Can anybody say, "Sean Penn?")  Realizing how innocent and sweet she is just makes me despise Kanye West that much more.

Damn, I'm being negative again.  I'll try to think of something interesting and post it later this week, just ignore this one.  Now everybody will hate me.  Fine, I'll just sit here and eat worms.
