I've spent the last two weekends visiting friends and family so I haven't had a lot of time to post.

I'm basically the walking wounded at work. I have zero motivation to do my job and in a lot of ways it sucks. I think I want to get back in the newspaper game. I definitely want to contribute. I'm not sure to the extent that I want to contribute, but I want to be more than an occasional correspondent and less than a full-time worker bound to a beat or a desk at a daily.

Seeing the friends was good. I hung out with Reverend Evan most of last Saturday and took in the Mets-Cubs tilt with him. I'm proud of the good Reverend. I'm pretty critical of those who claim to be religious leaders, but Evan walks the walk every single day of his life. He's not perfect, but he's honest and he is solid within his faith. I might not agree with everything, but I respect anyone who keeps their word and does what he says he's going to do.

Meanwhile he's preparing for a marriage and she's quite the looker, so there's one for the side of God.

I also got to go to my friend Laurel's going-away party (even though she's not leaving until the 30th). I'm going to miss Laurel when she heads to San Diego, but I'm glad I get to see her every week right now.

Oddly enough remember when I mentioned that my Ledger Edge wasn't speaking to me? Well she still isn't. However, she's also not speaking to my friend (Laurel's dad) and her longtime mentor BIF. At least now I don't feel so bad. Either way, I know you're going to come across this post Ledger Edge and I wanted to say that I miss you. When you're ready to come back, you'll be welcomed with open arms.

Hmmm what else is going on.

Mike Vick should take his plea like a man, serve his time and next time he decides to do something stupid, just drive drunk and kill someone like this guy, you won't have to serve any time or a suspension. In the grand scheme of things, this isn't the stupidest thing anyone (named Vick) has ever done, he can recover in time.

Karl Rove's damage is done for now. If he goes to hell, he's probably getting off too easy. Jail would be a nice start.

I've been in a Rage Against the Machine mode recently, so I leave you with their last "video" as a band. Renegades of Funk. So Dance sucka!
