This is irritating....

This is pretty much continuing from my previous post. So, I'm driving to work again and I hear talks of an English government official wanting to sterilize the poor to combat an economic crisis. So, when I go to look up this news on the internet I find nothing of the sort, except of course of cases in South America that occurred a few years ago. So, I'm beginning to doubt the news reported on my favorite radio show. This really doesn't surprise me since they are not a news reporting show. I'm sure they're just trying to get ratings.

I do want to make a few comments on this idea that seems to be happening in struggling countries. Of the articles I did find, Peru had passed a law stating that the poor be forcefully sterilized against their will. Of course, this is a gross infringement on human rights. However, I have a better idea. In all lightheartedness, I say we should castrate the idiots in this world, George Bush, Jr. being the first one on the list. We're overrun with them and it is an infection we must cure. We must cleanse the gene pool.

In reality I may feel that our society gets dumber by the minute, but I would never wish anything like that upon another human. I let Darwin kill off the idiots for me.


Yeah, he looks like a killer, don't you think? ;)

Well burst my bubble...

I had this great idea to rant about, but I can't rant if I don't have anything to back it up. On my way into work this morning I heard on the radio that many parents are sueing Wii becuase their boys are mimicing the movements in real life fights making them look like wussies. The DJ mentioned one incident where a kid was sent home from school for flicking his wrist at another boy's head.

I figured this would be something great to go off on, especially how a lot today's parenting skills are lacking. However, I cannot find one single article about a recent lawsuit. The only articles that come up in my search are those about the wrist straps or copyright infringement, or about how people are throwing out their backs because they're just now getting their lazy asses off the couch.

I was going to go into a rant about how I can't stand people who think the world owes them something, people who try to get rick of other people's misfortunes. My office mate told me a story about her sister in law and how she had hit a mailbox while turned around in her big honking SUV yelling at her kids and thought that the owner of the mailbox should replace her mirror because it was too close to the road. Yeah, people like that piss me off.

Well, it looks like I went into a rant anyway, even though I technically had nothing to rant about... Heh. Oh well.

It's about time...

...for an update. The past couple of weeks have been for wedding planning. We decided to just get married in Hawaii that way we can have the honeymoon there too. For us, this route is much cheaper than having a 5 minute, "wham bam thank you ma'am" ceremony and reception. Although it would be nice to have our friends and family witness the ceremony, this way would be more memorable.

So we bought our airline tickets, courtesy of the groom's parents, 2 weekends ago. And this past weekend we reserved the hotel. The only thing left to plan is what we're going to do while we're there and the reception when we get back. I'm thinking the reception is going to be a small one. At our house maybe. Or we can have 2 receptions, one for the family and one for our friends. That way we can accommodate everyone and no one's panties will get in a wad because of alcohol being served (family).

Several weeks ago we called up the place that's doing our ceremony and put a deposit down to reserve the date which is October 11. So that's taken care of. Now we just have to come up with some money for the rest of the cost of the trip/wedding =) I don't think it will be that difficult. We have plenty of time to save money. I've started saving between $100 and $200 a month which I will end up with at least $1000 by the time we leave. And that'll be our spending/backup money.

Everything is coming together and I'm excited!
