word forward

Didn't have time for a proper breakfast as I overslept just a bit today.
I'm a little zapped from missing the morning coffee hit.
Saw a couple of shows in the past 2 nites and haven't exercised at all so I'm at least well-rested. I look back and there was a lot of exercising in the past 10 days and I was still sore on Tuesday so now I should be at full power if I were to go running today.
So much has happened in the country and the world this week -- here are my thoughts:

The Arizona shooter is full of crap and should be put to death. He's proud of what he did so
get him outta here. He doesn't even deserve the right to wipe his own ass.

At first I was totally dismayed that Netanyahu was willing to revert to pre-1967 borders, b/c Palestinian authorities seem to do a really good job of looking the other way when they suicide bomb a market square or slit an entire family's throats. But if the biggest problem with this is that they won't acknowledge Israel as a state/nation, then it makes them look like a big bunch of assholes (the kind everyone already knows they are). If this deal ever gets made that might mean that Israelis will overnite become Palestinian citizens. Problem there is that they will always be seen as Jewish and Israeli so here's an idea for a reality show or a documentary: Keep cameras on those families 24/7. See how welcomed they feel and how no one will extort nor threaten them in their new country/same house. Broadcast that stuff live to the world. Make the "Truman Show" out of that situation right there and we'll see who the real aggressors are.

The situation in the Midwest is horrendous. They showed footage of the twister just ripping apart an 18-wheeler and the driver survived. Makes the couple of hurricanes we've withstood seem like a stiff wind.

Beautiful sunny morning today and the only little snafu was that as I took 33rd west, just crossing the street, a short glasses-adorned woman with long braided hair wasn't stopping as an SUV and me were coming at her. I asked her if she really had to get where she was going that badly and she apologized. Some people are in their own headspace at the worst moments.

I need a vacation.

Thank you for reading.
