I am doing better today. Sure, I still feel absolutely hopeless, scared and sick regarding my quota which I am nowhere near hitting for May.. and June ain’t looking too good either. Yesterday I got home at 7:30 and I immediately crawled into bed and stayed there until morning. Today I refused to let myself get close to my bed. Instead I watered my plants and I made a grocery list. Before I go to the grocery store, my plan is to try to input some of my receipts into an expense report. And as I type this I am steaming dumplings and I threw in a handful of edamame– normally I boil edamame but I figured I’d be adventurous. Turns out, a body in motion stays in motion. I just needed to push myself. How many times have I given this advice to Lisa? Funny how forgetful one can be when dealing with oneself.
Has anyone read about the Newsom/Christian murders? Oh my dear God it is horrible. I can’t imagine the horror, terror, and pain those two kids felt. What could possibly have fueled this horror? My heart goes out to their family. Reading things like this puts my own issues into perspective.
Every time I read a story like this one I think
“Why don’t more people get a concealed weapon permit?”
Having personal protection might not stop all criminal acts, but wouldn’t it be nice
to stop a perpetrator in his tracks? I am sick of the
victim mentality in this country…if just one of those students at Virginia Tech had had a concealed weapon, lives could have been saved.
(Full disclosure: my brother is a felony prosecutor who has sent several people to death row. Those criminal bastards deserve to die…don’t argue with me).
By the way, I’m a huge Michelle Malkin fan too.
Oh, and look at the perps…

Five black guys torture, murder, and rape two white kids? Naturally this isn’t a hate crime.
I feel the same– I have been thinking about getting a gun but I just don’t want to put in the time to learn how to use it and take care of it. The other thing is — guns scare me. I take real good care of my cell phone yet I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped it and once I somehow hit myself on the head with it! Can you imagine what I’d do with a GUN!?!?! Regardless, still think its a good idea to have one.
The thought of getting shot by SOMEONE’S ELSE’S GUN scares
me a hell of a lot more than
fumbling with my own.
Take some lessons. Learn to use am weapon, whether it be
a firearm, pepper spray, or
a knee to the groin.
I think the most disturbing part of the Virginia Tech massacre was the passive, resigned attitude on the part
of students and parents there. Dammit, get mad! Take some action! Don’t let some scholastic, hierarchical, academic wussies determine your safety!
That news story has been buried by the media for obvious reasons: a pity.
Isaac Newton was a wise man… Good luck!
My quota for this half (read as: six month period) is $81 million, and I have no freakin’ idea how I’m gonna get there.
