Or, again, I could be wrong!  |
Nope - sounds like you nailed it! |

I personally thought Postal 2 was the most over the top (and highly creative) violent video game ever.. I bought it and my son played it, but he knew it was only a game and we saw the violence as a form of humor. The ways they thought of to kill someone took some serious creativity..
Now Wow on the other hand.. that thing is social crack and probably should be banned. along with myspace, everquest, and quite a few other things that completely cut people off from the actuality of reality..

Another change of topic - the Geronimo Village Volunteer Fire Dept. spring barbecue is this sunday, 13 April, from 1130 am until the food is gone! Dickey's BBQ will be catering this year, instead of the firemen doing the cooking. Also, they're closing the Thrift Store, and remodeling the building for sleeping quarters. They're closing it the day of the picnic.

Nope, I got home around 6:20 this morning, went to bed, and have been working on homework since I woke up.
and last night was my last mid shift for 6 months. I'm SO not going to miss it too. I am so tired after 3 months of it and became so annoying to live with, I'm considering this tattoo..

It is very fitting... but I'm not so sure about having a lasting effect. I would be covering up my first tattoo with it and I would hate to replace a mistake with another mistake
and it's time to listen to my favorite monotoned Polish Java instructor.. joy
