On very rare occasions I am not happy and I hate the world.
Take a minute and let your shock register.
Done?
Great!
Through the years I have discovered a few songs that make me....feel better. I was going to say smile but decided that was cliche (Right, Uncle Gary?). There is a long list of songs but I managed to narrow it down to the top ten! Yay me!
1. Sign, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder.
2. Put a Little Love in Your Heart by The Isley Brothers
3. Top of the World by The Carpenters
4. Dancing in the Streets by Martha Reeves and the Vendellas (though I much prefer the version by Mick Jagger and David Bowie)
5. Ain't Too Proud to Beg by The Temptations
6. Everyday People by Sly and The Family Stone
7. Beautiful Day by U2
8. Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison
9. Crash Into Me by Dave Matthews Band
0. Halcyon and On and On by Orbital
So there we have it!
Me > You

Snap, Crackle, Pot!
How low does one have to go to lace rice krispies with marijuana and sell to unsuspecting high school students? Apparently not that low. Kruz Hawkins did that very thing and is now sitting in a county jail for his actions. He claims he laced the sweet treats with marijuana because it is an addicting substance and the kids would want more rice krispies. It's a brilliant way to launder money.
I do not lay the blame on Mr. Hawkins. I lay the blame on the high school kids. Why would they buy food off of someone they don't even know? A few of the students came out and said they knew what was in the treats and bought them because that was the only way they could experience a high through the school day. Clever clever!
Just not clever enough. The faculty at the school became suspicious when everyone was walking around eating rice krispies all day. They soon alerted the principal who then alerted the police, who then tested the treats and discovered the marijuana laced in them.
Mr. Hawkin's was simply trying to be a good citizen and give the teenagers what they wanted. Too bad it backfired and he is sitting in jail. Next time he could try lacing cupcakes with marijuana.
No one ever gets suspicious with cupcakes.

Confession Time: Toby Keith's Fault
Someone has been listening to Toby Keith's song "I Want to Talk About Me" a little too much recently. A Milwaukee man reportedly told his cellmate that he was actually the one that killed the twenty one women dating from the early eighties to the mid nineties. The ironic part of the story is that the man was not in prison for these murders, he was in jail for beating his girlfriend severely.
This man went into great detail of how, and why, he killed these twenty one innocent women. It wasn't an act of "violence", it was an act of "free will," according to the alleged murderer. Whatever the case, the man will be going away for a long time.
I just can't help but wonder what it was that was going through his mind when he decided to tell his cellmate about these murders. It's common knowledge that if you are able to rat someone else out, your sentence is reduced. Reporters are speculating that he wanted to gloat or take credit for what he had done. Personally, I have another theory.
I believe that he was sitting in his small cell listening to the radio play. All of the sudden a Toby Keith song came on and this man's ears perked up. Perhaps he was a fan of Toby? I believe he began to sing along with the radio. When he got to the chorus, something inside of him snapped.I would bet his cellmate is the type who always go on talking about himself and never shut up. After hearing the song, the alleged murderer just wanted to talk about himself for a change.
Honestly, if you heard this:
I wanna talk about me
Wanna talk about I
Wanna talk about number one
Oh my me my
What I think, what I like, what I know, what I want, what I see
I like talking about you you you you, usually, but occasionally
I wanna talk about me
I wanna talk about me
Wouldn't you want to start talking about your life? Obviously, the blame for this man's confession lays on Toby Keith's shoulders. You shouldn't write a song about talking about yourself when you know that there are a few million people in jail with a ton of things to confess.
Shame on you Toby.

Hey Mr. Georgia Man
Approximately 3/4 of Americans over the age of six carry a cell phone. This is bad news for fun-loving kidnappers. The government and police are able to track your cell phone and pinpoint you within 150 feet. That means when some nice stranger with candy accidently throws you into the backseat of his van and drives away, all you have to do is hit one button to alert police where you are. Now, after a few hours of no response, it would be best to hit a button again. Of course, with all good things comes people who have lives and love to argue.
"It's a lack of privacy. I can't go out of my house without someone knowing where I am." a man in Georgia proclaimed. That is not the case. All Mr. Georgia Man would have to do is leave his cell phone at home. That would solve all problems, right? Wrong! If Mr. Georgia Man would get kidnapped he would have no way of alerting police of his whereabouts. You either have to suck it up and take it like a man and accept the fact that people from Verizon, AT@T, and T-Mobile will know where you are at all times, or leave your cell phone at home and face the dangers of being abducted and molested. By all means, do what you feel is right.
Not that I like giving my opinion on anything, but I believe all of this is a good thing. Sure, there is the whole "this is a violation of the fourth amendment" speech happening, but really, who cares? Do the amendments mean anything, anymore? Exactly. All I'm saying is that next time I walk outside, I'm going to flash my cell phone so predators kidnap the kid next to me who has no cell phone.

It's Too Late to Apologize
A brilliant man does not always make a brilliant president. A brilliant man can make mistakes. A brilliant man does not know everything. Barack Obama can be classified as a brilliant man. Obama didn't have big shoes to fill when Bush left office in January of 2009, but America had faith. They voted him in to run the country, hoping he could turn things around. Over a year later, it seems he has made things progressively worse. He was held at God status, and when he made the decision on healthcare, that status went away. American's were unsatisfied with his decisions. Few people got what they wanted.
For a year Obama has been fighting to win the support of all of his haters, but with the way he is going, that isn't going to happen. Even his supporters who vocally petitioned for him are starting to scratch their heads, wondering what they were thinking. So while America continues going down the drain, American's are left apologizing about who they voted into office. Don't they know it's too late to apologize?
