weird news

I had fun blogging about news articles yesterday and thought I’d contribute some more…interesting findings…

Unusual Murder Defenses

Raymond Rodriguez, 25, was found not guilty in the murder of a 77-year-old drinking buddy after he testified to having, at the crime scene, hallucinations of bologna and cheese dancing around in the refrigerator and, in the freezer, a green man who told Rodriguez, “Catch me if you can.” (San Antonio, December) And Patrick Hutchinson was sent for a mental exam in February after police in Lexington, Ky., accused him of murdering his wife. Hutchinson explained that she had been taken over by aliens and that he (as one of only 735 “true humans” left in Lexington, out of 260,000 population) had to stop her, using a weapon supplied by a cobra that was speaking on behalf of God.

And you thought you were weird 😉

I found this article…along with many other unusual/weird news on this site which I plan to keep on my “dailies” list.

maybe there’s hope…

In my daily readings today I found an article showing that Duke may have a good idea 😉 But…I find myself asking…”won’t that just encourage students to stay out longer?” Just thought I’d share my findings.

request…

I just received word from one of my readers 😉 that this person won’t comment anymore because this person feels they are the only one commenting. so….for the sake of me keeping at least one loyal reader and commenter (is that a word?) please don’t hesitate to click on the comment button and tell me what you think of my entries. Thanks guys!

where’s the justice?

I was just at home for lunch and since I only get 3 channels, I was watching CJ (Celebrity Justice). One of the reportings was on an actor/director that was convicted of domestic violence. He was supposed to serve 90 days in jail as the punishment, but he told the judge he had plans to film a movie in Canada. The judge told him it was fine and he could serve his time when he was through filming. Now wait just a minute I say…when in REAL life do things ever happen like that? Is there a separate code of laws for celebrities that I didn’t know about? Apparently there is. If a regular, average Joe were to have the same punishment for the same crime and he had plans to go on vacation, the judge would have said “sorry Charlie”. I just don’t get how so many people get away with things like this. They aren’t super-humans. Oh well…guess that’s what we get for having men in charge of these things 😉

cool changes

isn’t my fiance such a sweetie? oh come on…you gotta admit he is at least sometimes 😉 the changes were a surprise to me too but I love them! good job honey!

lunsford came to visit wednesday through sunday. we all stayed up way past our bedtimes but we all had a lot of fun. now i just hope we can catch up on those lost hours of sleep. we played cranium (thank you brandon and meagan for the game) and dvd trivial pursuit. we also stopped by waffle house for tabitha to pick her up a man 😉 i got to eat some yamato’s! what a week hehe.

i woke up one morning to find tin foil covering my doorway and a piece of paper with the lyrics from “Goodmorning Beautiful”. The lyrics were changed just a bit to say “…mine was wonderful with you out of sight” it was crazy! haha

another night i went into my bathroom and found my jack in the box, jack suspended over the toilet. poor tramatized jack. i’m glad i saw him ahead of time hehe.

i’m still alive…

it’s been awhile since i’ve taken the time to sit and write. last weekend was easter. on good friday justin’s parents surprised us both and came to the church service at crestview. afterwards we went to sonic for supper. mmmm! my family got to come to my place this year. we went over to justin’s and had an easter egg hunt. we do this every year (it was justin’s first though, for some reason he had never done it) . it’s a competition among us to see who can find their six eggs first. my mom and dad hid them outside justin’s house. it was harder than i thought it would be. kelly finished first (girl power!) i think everyone had a great time. i know i did! then we went in and had hot dogs, macaroni, beans, chips, dessert, etc. it was just a great time to spend together.

on sunday lorraine, stacey, chad, and faith came to visit us at justin’s. they stayed for awhile and we all had fun laughing and just enjoying each others’ company.

on monday night my best friend mandy, travis, and aubrey stopped in to see the place on their way back from charlotte. i was so proud of our boys (pixel and apache). they had quite a few days of people in the house and they were quite social.

on wednesday lunsford (erin) arrived to spend a few days with us. i know we have all been staying up way past our bed times but we have had so much fun visiting waffle house, the coffee shop, church, justin’s, and our place playing games.

tomorrow around 1 the girls will arrive for our trip to concord mills and charlotte to search for dresses. wish us luck! mandy has offered to drive her expedition so we will all fit. i’ll let you know how it goes.

TGIF EVERYONE!
