People are the worst....

That was the best line from Sienfield the other night and I can't agree more. I think Elaine said it and then Jerry responded with out a second of a pause, "they are the worst".. too funny.

There is this chick out here in Denver, I think, that IS married to a principal of a school. About a year or so ago, she was busted after going on a camping trip with some students (i think she was a teacher) and then ended up having sex (after giving them beer) with one of the 17 year olds.. She gets caught, she goes to jail, for reals, and has a trial and everything. Big news around here because she is what every 17 year old guy might want for a teacher that is willing to go all the way. I mean she isn't a beauty queen but for a school teacher, not bad.. Anyway.. fast forward to two days ago and I see her mug come across the TV screen. I say to myself, 'self, isn't she from that student sex story.. why is she on the news again?'. Well boy was i glad i asked.. Turns out that a parole officer was doing their routine check-ups on parolees and went to check on this dude on his list and low and behold, there is the school teacher lady in this guy's bed.. Well it would just be the guy and the chick's husband's problem (yeah- still married to the principal) but you see, she is a convicted sex offender and that means she has to register every time she has sex, so being found in this guy's bed (that wasn't the principal or the 17 year old that she was arrested for) she was breaking her parole and now she is back in jail.
PEOPLE!!! come on...
That goes right up there with one of my cell mates going through extensive cancer screening and other procedures just because he didn't realize that gaining weight that your doctor ordered you to do will cause your pants to get tight, which in turn will make your intestines squish out the side and create a huge pain if you don't loosen your belt... I kid you not..
And like another co-workers child that was going though a health kick and ended up swearing he had colon cancer because his poo was red.. After, again, extensive cancer screening and checking why he would have blood in his poo, he discovered that when you stop drinking pomegranate juice, you poo goes back to it's natural color. COME ON PEOPLE!!!!
let's try usng our reasoning skills that our 6th grade science teacher tried so hard to teach us.

On another note, baseball players are not real people. I mean did you see some of the plays the Rockies pulled out of their butts? I think Nix is going to be great at second and I am pretty impressed by Wells pitching last night. I think he gave up one hit and it wasn't until the 6th inning or something. not bad.. At least better than Francis did the day before.. Gotta love a rain out.

Our third softball game is tomorrow and they are calling for snow starting tonight. I don't want to play in the snow, but i can say that at least it is at 6pm. MUCH Better than a 9pm game. And i won't be playing next week due to preparing for my birthday celebrations in Chicago. (read: packing and drinking). I woke up this morning and told my boyfriend that by this time next week we should be packed. I hope that is true. I was watching a "New Adventures of Old Christine"- love that show- and Christine was saying that it was her birthday month. I feel that way too. I could celebrate all of April, if people would let me. I know no one besides me and maybe my mom really cares about my birthday, but a month long celebration might be fun. (HINT HINT- BIRTHDAY IS IN 9 DAYS- GET YOUR SHOPPING DONE EARLY TO ACCOUNT FOR MAIL TIME TO DENVER)

Don't forget to watch your Big brother today. James freaked out yesterday, and then won the POV, so can't wait to see what goes down tonight.. LOVE THIS SHOW!

Here's stuff that you might or might not know or care about...

Today is Serious Soap Opera Day, marking the debut on this date in 1956 of "As the World Turns" and "The Edge of Night" on CBS Television. "The Edge of Night" had been moved from radio, where it was called "The Adventures of Perry Mason." It was canceled in 1984;"As the World Turns" continues. (My grandmother watched “The Edge”- it was her “story”)

Today is National Day of Hope, a day for all to pray the cycle of child abuse and neglect can be broken to give abused children hope for the future (childhelp.org).

Today is Great Lovers' Day, marking the birthday on April 2, 1725, of Italy's most famous lover-philanderer, Giovanni Giacomo Casanova. (Yeah Casanova- first true gentleman, I think my grandfather was the last)

Today is International Children's Book Day, marking Hans Christian Anderson's birthday (reading.org). (Not as sexy as Casanova)

Today is National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day. (YEAH I LOVE PB&J don’t forget to crush the potato chips in the middle of the sandwich)

Today is "Dallas" Day. The popular TV series debuted on this date in 1978. It starred Larry Hagman, Linda Gray, Patrick Duffy, Charlene Tilton, Victoria Principal, Ken Kercheval, Jim Davis, and Barbara Bel Geddes. It ran almost 13 years.

Today is Reconciliation Day, a time for forgiving, a day to write a letter, make phone call to mend a broken relationship. (If we were in a relationship and you read this, don’t call me….it’s all good :)

1974: Robert Opel streaked naked across the stage at the Academy Awards. Actor David Niven, who was on stage, adlibbed, "Just think, the only laugh that man will probably ever get is for stripping and showing his shortcomings." (funny)

1978: Dallas debuted on CBS Television. It starred Larry Hagman as J.R. Ewing, Linda Gray as Sue Ellen, Barbara Bel Geddes as Miss Ellie, Patrick Duffy as Bobby, Victoria Principal as Pam, Charlene Tilton as Lucy, and Jim Davis as Jock. (my mom loved this show)

1980: Toshiaki Shirai and Yukiko Nagata set the world underwater kissing record in Tokyo with a very wet kiss of two minutes 18 seconds. (can you hold your breath that long?)

1984: John Thompson became the first black coach to lead his team to the NCAA college basketball championship. Georgetown’s Hoyas defeated Houston 84-75 in Seattle for the win.

1992: Mob boss John Gotti was convicted in New York of murder and racketeering. He was later sentenced to life in prison. ( and there he died, right?)

1995: Author Norman Mailer, writing in the New Yorker, quoted KGB officials who said when Lee Harvey Oswald went hunting in Russia, he couldn’t hit anything. (funny)

1996: A Chinese dinosaur egg believed to be 100 million years old sold at auction in Vienna for $4,500. (mmmm, eggs)

1999: The Labor Department reported that the nation's unemployment rate fell to a 29-year low of 4.2 percent in March 1999. (can’t say the same for today)

2001: A computer engineer in Coppull, England, found a live mouse inside the casing of a faulty PC's hard drive. Gary Taylor said the creature caused the machine to short circuit by chewing through wires to make a nest. He thinks the rodent may have crawled into the computer through a tiny hole at the back. (just weird)

2007: In Langley, Washington, Alden Couch went for a drive in his '81 Impala to celebrate his 101st birthday. He would breeze through his state driver's license test, including the dreaded parallel parking, a few days later. He limited his driving to South Whidbey Island -- "The mainland is too wild" -- and drives mostly to nearby Langley, to the grocery store, the gas station, and the senior center for lunch and a game of dominos. His new license expires in 2012. (my grandfather thought it was great that he had a license that didn’t expire until 2012 too)

And finally, what you don't want to see on your way to work.
