Don't put it out with your boots Ted!

Lot's of crazy stuff is going on in the nation and in the world as of late. One of the saddest events happened in Waco, TX when a pastor was electrocuted after grabbing a microphone while standing waist-deep in a baptistry about to perform a baptism. This was all in front of a crowd of nearly 800 people. The pastor was taken to a hospital but never revived.

I can't imagine what the people are feeling who were there and especially for the girl who was to be baptised by this pastor. Crazy stuff.

President Bush is now asking for an immediate $7 billion to help respond to the imposing threat of this rediculous bird flu mess. I really hope people take this seriously. Reports are saying that people who don't take it seriously can spread the strain across boarders and that this can easily become an international epidemic. Now, I'm not trying to hype it at all, because I don't feel threatened, but I just hope people who are faced with the situation deal with it correctly as to not make this a ridiculous situation.

Now some good things:
The Verve's "Urban Hymns" is an amazing and beautiful record. There's definately nothing wrong with that. Peppermint Mocha from Starbucks is a mighty tasty treat as well and they start serving them today. And winter beards. I'm certain that almost nothing beats a good winter beard...(if only I could grow a nice one...)
