Keepin it real
2 Teenagers died(God rest their souls) last night as a result of street racing. They police investigator said that their minimum speed, which was at impact, was 88mph. That's minimum! Now it was mentioned that the movie, "Too fast, too furious" may have had something to do with it and police merely said it adds on to what's already out there. Okay, it might not have been a direct cause, but I'm sure it played a big part of it. And it makes me think to myself, when are people gonna realize that movies are freakin movies for Christ's sake? I mean, okay, it's cute(But still kind of sad) when I heard about the rise in children flushing fish down the toilet because of the movie "Finding Nemo," but those are children, and we can teach them that that's wrong. This other stuff, the more serious stuff, that is, is happening with older people...people who should know better, who can make the distinction that what happens in real life is NOT what happens in the movies... It's kinda funny sometimes how people criticize that some movies are just unrealistic(present company sometimes included), and say things like, "That just wouldn't happen in real life." I mean, it's a move...hello...it doesn't HAVE to happen just like real life...and of course the closer it is to reality, the more a person can identify with a particular movie, but then again...it's JUST a movie...I say if people want to identify with things, stop watching the movie and continue on with their REAL lives....it just really bothers me because this extends far beyond just identifying, people's lives are on the line... Brains....let's use them folks, they HAVE to have some kind of purpose...

One is the loneliest number...
Sometimes I hear a conversation, not that I'm eavesdropping or anything, but I OVERhear an interesting conversation and I want to put in my two cents on things, or they're asking a question and I know the answer, or at least part of it...and consequently, I want to hop right in. But alas, I am not a part of the conversation, so I just sit there...and listen some more, he he he. That's how my typical lunch hour or actually, 1/2 hour is at work. And through that scenario, I realized that I'm kindof a loner when it comes to eating during lunch. The guys always ask me to come with them, but I decline, mainly because I already brought a lunch, but I think there's a part of me that likes to be alone during that time? I don't know, it was just weird to realize that...
