Was it murder? I think so....

Well, I haven't updated this in a while, and I think it's due for an update.

Terri Schiavo died at the age of 41 today, after her feeding tube had been removed 13 days ago. If you don't know about this, read this: New York Post Article

As an American and a human being, I am pretty pissed off about what happened here. First of all, the husband wouldn't allow her parents to take care of her when he didn't have to do a thing, and he had a new family (I feel sorry for the new wife, what happens if something happens to her....). That tells something, maybe he tried to kill her, and that's why she lost oxygen to her brain in 1990. I wouldn't put it past him, the guy seems like a real prick. Since he's the guardian, he had the tube removed as she was yelling that she didn't want to die. Brain dead? Obviously not...

President Bush and Governor Bush tried to help this woman, when Congress and the President passed a bill in one day to bring this to the Supreme Court. They ruled that they would not re-insert the feeding tube. Nice, this is basically killing an innocent human being in one of the worst ways to do it, starvation. Some people say it's the easiest way to go, how the hell do they know? Have they went without food and water for 13 days? No. So they should shut the hell up about this stuff, it really pisses me off.

We basically killed this woman for being brain damaged, and her parents could do nothing about it. There's many brain damaged people in America, and they have the same rights as everyone else in the country, so why didn't she? What is wrong with society when they take the word of some moron that didn't speak up for years that she supposedly said she wanted to die? I know I'm not involved, but I feel that this country is partly responsible for letting this stuff happen, so I do feel involved.

That son of a bitch wouldn't even let her parents to be by her bedside as she passed on. I hope Michael Shiavo rots in Hell. I wish he was reading this, I would have a few things to say to him, and I'm sure many other Americans would also.

RIP Terri and please pray for her family.

That's all I have to say today, will update another time.

The Sweet 16 Was Amazing

That was awesome. Last night I went to watch the Syracuse Regional of the Sweet 16 with MVP. We had good seats too, high but at half court. Wisconsin beat North Carolina State, and UNC beat Villanova. The refs were terrible in that game though, I was looking forward to maybe seeing an overtime game there, but didn't. I have the video clip of that horrible call but it's hard to see since I am farther away. MVP also got winked at by this 50 year old man which was pretty funny. If you want to see some pictures that MVP took, go here: Webshots


Brent came yesterday and we hung out for a while which was cool. He didn't bring his ID though so we couldn't get into the dorm, but we hung around campus and Marshall St. and then went with MVP and Ju to Kimmel.

All right, this crap in Detroit is out of control. Bomb threats during basketball games? You have to be kidding me! It's a BASKETBALL GAME, that's it! Whoever threatens people's lives like this should be beat. It's really ridiculous.

Dwayne Wade is amazing.

Giants signed Plaxico Burress, WR from the Steelers, hopefully he can give Manning another good target.

Oh yeah, Duke lost. How awesome is that? Bye bye J.J. Redick!

My favorite in the NCAA tournament? West Virginia Mountaineers

I'd Like You To Meet.....

Justin. This is Justin.



We got Justin to buy Preparation H. He loves his Prep H. He didn't know what it was for, but now he does!





Justin has a sign above his bed. It says "N.G." Short for "No Gum."



He has another sign for you to see.



Here's Justin's hamper, his name is on it.



Here's Justin in his cool sunglasses and his awesome Syracuse work hat!



Here's Justin with his buddy, Sonic!



Here's Justin's "To Do List." Very helpful reminders for him.



Well, I hope you enjoyed meeting Justin! There's a video of his Preparation Press Conference, he was posing for pictures and looked like he was having a grand old time. I am glad you were able to meet the newest internet craze, Justin!

Too tired to update any more tonight, just study Justin's stuff and leave some comments...

First Day Back to 'Cuse

Well, today was my first day back, and it was good. We got Ju to buy Preparation H and told him it was for something else. I guess the girl selling it gave him a weird look, I don't blame her. I would too if I saw him coming in and buying cream for down there. Here's the lesson from this: READ THE LABEL BEFORE BUYING. It was so funny th0ugh.... He's like, "No wonder she gave me a disgusted look!"

Watched "Foolproof," and I thought it was a really good movie. Not predictable, which I like. Very good planning on these heists, these people were so smart. Definitely check it out if you have a chance, I would probably give it an 8 out of 10. That's a great rating, there's only a few movies I can think of that would get a 9 or higher. But anyway, I thought that "Foolproof" was an awesome movie.



Today's Grimmy comic is actually like the movie I watched today, pretty cool... Click the picture to go to the Mother Goose and Grimm website, it's a great comic. Anyway, that's about all for today, back to classes tomorrow..... greaaaaat.

End of Spring Break

Well, spring break had been going really well for me, up until yesterday. Syracuse lost to Vermont of all teams in the NCAA tournament. Yep, first round, they lose and are done for the year. What a way to end the year...

Today won't be fun, it's my last day and I have to start writing an essay on the most boring book that has ever been written. If you want me to prove it, find a book called The Book of Margery Kempe and start reading it. If that doesn't bore you, I don't know what will, and you must be extremely easy to amuse.

At least it's a nice day outside (check out the picture of my backyard... snow is melting!), it seems as though the weather is going to be better, I hope it is the same in Syracuse. I'll be going back tomorrow and I think my last day is May 6th, but I am still not positive. This summer I hope I'll get the full time job that I applied for, good money and I'll be outside working which will be nicer than sitting in some boring store trying to sell stuff.

I can't believe school is over for me in basically six weeks. This semester has royally sucked for me (work wise), and I hope next semester is a little more interesting.

Watched 'The Butterfly Effect' yesterday, and I thought it was a really good movie. Much different from others that I have seen recently, and I am glad that at the end of it, everything was resolved. I would give it probably an 8 out of 10.

Well, that's about it for today, will try to update this thing as much as possible.
