This Past Week

Lately its been tough finding time and material to write. I moved into a brand new place and got my junior year ready to go. I've also been developing strange homosexual crushes on my film professors. (Any attention they give me makes me melt.) I decided to do everyone a favor and catch you up on the news this week. Not the headlines, though. Mostly the small bits you may have overlooked. 

Fidel Castro went on the record this week saying he backs the actions of the Cuban athlete who kicked an official after a disqualification during a tae kwon doe match at the olympics. I myself back the actions of Michael Phelps' 10,000-12,000 calorie a day diet. Looking at the way most Americans eat, I think we all back it. 

A nine year old kid was banned from pitching in his youth league for being "too good." He throws at 40 mph and none of the other kids can hit off him. Other teams were forfeiting games this kids started. Coach: "Don't bother, kids. You can't beat him. Let's just eat the post-game donuts and go home."

The town of Hoschton, GA is trying to break the world record for most scarecrows in one location. Their goal is about 4000. There most have been a lot of downsizing lately. 

A 21 year old mother of two survived five whole days in a car after she crashed it. Plan a better suicide next time.

Lesbian activist Del Martin died at age 87 months after marrying her partner. No joke added here. 

We all that Obama is accepting the Democratic nomination tonight as I write this. I keep thinking about that word that begins "assass" but I dare not speak it out of fear that by saying I will have killed him. Doesn't help my nerves that they keep comparing him and the event to JFK.
