I flew to North Carolina last night, then drove my sister back home today. The trip would have really sucked were it not for being able to read Tolstoy's Confessions. The middle portion, where he writes about coming to the conclusion that life is meaningless really took me back to the years when I was between 18 and 22 or so. I too had come to that conclusion... and was searching every resource I could find to help me come to a different conclusion. And like Tolstoy, who put his gun away and would remove rope from his room, I padlocked all of my knives and other weapons away, then discarded the key to prevent me from doing harm to myself. Anyway, without droning further about how much I agreed with his writing and how much I felt it reflected my own experience, I'll say it was very meaningful.

As far as absud things in life go, I saw on msn.com today a link to their gossip column stating something to the effect that J Lo wants to run for president. http://entertainment.msn.com/movies/hotgossipb6?GT1=6542

J. Lo for President? And Lindsay's Bedside Manner

In what we're really hoping is just a really lousy German-to-English translation, Jennifer Lopez says she one day hopes to be Commander-in-Chief. "I'm a total powerhouse," a modest Mrs. Marc Anthony is quoted as telling the German magazine Bravo. "If you ask me, I'd like to become the first female president. That would be really cool." So what would be the No. 1 priority on the high-maintenance multi-hyphenate's agenda? Peace between nations? Sweeping social reform? Nope. Try an extreme makeover of the Oval Office. "The first thing I would do is redecorate the White House," she supposedly says. "It doesn't look very cozy."



Things like this make me wonder why anyone ever reports what celebrities say.


I think that the favorite suicidegirls portion of my profile will now be selected such that I spell out random words with the first letters of random girls' names.
