Worst. Morning. Ever.
I had the worst morning ever Friday that put me in a crabby mood that I am just getting over. I am on the night shift now, so all this happened when I was tired after a 12 hour overnight shift at work and ready for bed.
When I cam home right away I noticed that the dog had gotten into the garbage downstairs, and there was garbage all over the downstairs. While I was cleaning it up, one of the cats threw up upstairs. While I was cleaning that up, our other cat threw up. I don’t know what’s with our cats, but they sure puke a lot.
So after I cleaned up after our pets I was ready for bed. The Wife always shuts the lights off at the lamp instead of the switch — which bugs the hell out of me — so I have to walk through the dark room to find the lamp. For some reason last night she put the hamper in the middle of the floor. I tripped over that damn thing, and smashed into the wall. My shoulder and knee still hurt a little from it. Then, as I was laying on the floor, I reached for the lamp, and lo and behold, she had a glass of water right there and I spilt it all over the floor and myself.
I don’t know what else could have gone wrong Friday morning, and really my whole Friday sucked. I’m sure hoping the weekend is better.

Burning any book is wrong
Is everybody else as sick of hearing about the Qur’an burning as me?
Why is this news?
So some nut thinks 0.00000000001% of the Muslim population represents them all. With that kind of thinking, you might as well say, “Since all Christians want to blow up federal buildings, lets burn some Bibles on April 20th”. It’s just plain stupid.
Since nowadays we have many 24 hour news channels, and most of the time nothing is really going on, they need some kind of ratings boosting story. So nuts like Terry Jones, the Balloon Boy, and many others make headlines, and have a platform.
Personally I find burning any kind of book offensive. I bet the majority of Christians are against burning Qur-ans too. It’s just another example of extremists making a bad name for the rest of them. I was raised Christian and was taught to love everybody, even people that don’t agree with you. Burning other people’s book of worship doesn’t sound like a Christian thing to do to me.
Some people think burning the Qur’an’s will make more enemies for the US in the Middle East. I don’t really agree with that. It would probably piss off our enemies, but the majority of Muslims over there I am sure would understand that this is just being done by a bunch of wackaloons, and is in no way representative of the majority of Americans.
I really wish the news media would just ignore the crazies, but crazies drive ratings, ratings sells ads, and ads make money. And really, that’s what it’s all about. Who cares about informing the public about what’s really going on, when there is money to be made in making up their own news.
