I’ve got this song stuck in my head, it kind of of fits how I’m feeling right now. I got an email from jerkface a few days ago that he wanted to “get rid” of the cat I we handfed as a two-week old. He was a rescue as his mother died when he was just 2 weeks old, and I had driven across the state to the old city I used to live in (near Daytona Beach) and brought him home. I fed him every 2 hours (around the clock). He will be 3 on my birthday (October 04) this year. So, since Thursday evening I have been trying to make arrangements to get all of his cats away from him because I do not want to deal with him anymore. So, last night he emailed me back that he decided to “keep” Kimber and that he wanted to make arrangements for me to see him and to see me. Drop. Dead. I have no want, desire or any reason to even want to see him. Besides, he’s got his girlfriend and her two kids and he made his choices and it took me a good five minutes of staring at my screen to just hit “Block Sender.” It was a really hard move because I just wiped away whatever knowledge I would have had over Kimber away. I guess it’s better that way, that way I’ll just never know.

My Folks and I were coming back from breakfast and church this morning and we were about to make a left-hand turn to get onto the street where one of the grocery stores is; and around here newspaper vendors sell the newspapers on every major intersection. We were about 4 or 5 cars away from the light when the car in front of us when we notice one of the two teenagers is acting awfully odd. The kid in the backseat kept opening and closing his door, opening and closing his door. Suddenly, the driver puts the car in reverse and then in drive and starts to make his way slowly into the oncoming traffic, then decides he doesn’t want to do that, so he puts the car in reverse and backs up a little bit and leaves it in reverse. The light changes, thankfully the guy didn’t slam on the gas, or he would have totally hit my Dads car…but instead the kid realizes its in reverse and changes it to drive and pulls up along side the newspaper stack. All of the sudden the guy jumps out of the backseat and makes a beeline towards the sellers stack of newspapers and his bookbag. He jumps back in the car and the driver flees through the red light. I thought the kid had grabbed some of the newspapers, but my Dad flags down the seller and tells him that they stole his bookbag. About a fifteen minutes to a half hour later as we were making our way back home, the seller had managed to have the police arrive and we tell the officer what we saw.

What the heck is wrong with people nowadays? What makes one person think that they are better than other person or think that they deserve something? No one owes anyone anything. That’s like the poor family that was murdered in China before the Olympics; how insane. I don’t care if you are American, Canadian, English, Danish or whatever - it’s wrong to take the life of another person. It’s wrong to take something that doesn’t belong to you, whether it’s a life or bag or money. I just don’t understand anyone anymore.

On a more positive note, I sent in my Stafford Loan application and I’m eagerly waiting for the response. It kind of stinks that I made too much money last year to qualify for a grant. I also sent away for some scholarships, but I’m a little too late on the deadline, maybe for next year. Heh. I just can’t get over the fact that I “made too much” money last year; I would have gladly shown them my refrigerator, or my gas tank - then you tell me who made too much. Now it’s off to search for textbooks!

[a few hours later] I bought my English book(s) but I can’t find a place cheaper than $175 for my Math book, so I’m going to wait to see if I get my Stafford loan before I buy it, or else it’s just not worth it to me to even bother buying it. My parents enjoyed their dinner (and I did as well) - it was time consuming to make, but overall was relatively easy. I made Taco Stuffed Shells. Jumbo pasta shells, taco seasoning, ground beef, onions, Salsa con Queso and Salsa make up the dish and the only thing hard about it is stuffing the meat into the shells. I served this up with some homemade Corn Muffins, by the way. If you’d like either of these recipes, just respond to the post and I’ll email the recipe to you.
