OK, as you may be able to guess, I am not on vacation.  The reason for this is that there are some really stupid people in this world that decided to go ahead and kill a bunch of my fellow Americans. That was pretty much the last of my bad week.  It all started last week when a member of the opposite sex decided that apparently I was not good enough, but then again, what do men know?  Next, I had my unfortunate run-in (literally) with that big, ugly pick-up truck.  After that, I almost killed my bird by accident.  Now, don't worry, Buddy is ok and he doesn't hold it against me or anything, but he did lose a couple of nails and a lot of blood.  Then, the idiot terrorists decided to come and harrass the US, thus ending my vacation plans and completing my horrendous week.  Even though I did not know anyone in the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, or on any of the planes, I have spent much of the week crying for those people that were lost and those that have lost someone.  My thoughts are with everyone in this time of need and I wish I could get to NYC to help out in the rescue efforts.

Bitch Fest

All that I can think to bitch about this week is that in the past few days we have lost so many good people due to the actions of a few bad ones.  It is scary that there are people willing to put not only their own lives, but the lives of many innocent people, at risk because they have a grudge against our system of government.  Violence does not bring progress, it only breeds anger, and unfortunately we already have an abundance of that in this world.
