In The News...

I feel like there have been some crazy things popping up in the news lately like...

Boy decapitated by roller coaster! I heard this on the radio. Holy hell... I can't even imagine (1) being that kid's friend and witnessing this or (2) being on the ride and thinking, "What the hell did we just hit?" and potentially seeing a head flying through the air.

Jail Death Of Suspect In Officer Killing Ruled Homicide. I really didn't think this was "news" per se. The guy was alone in a maximum security jail cell and found dead. Um... really, do you think he was murdered? Maybe he just thought really really hard about dying and then died. I can't believe this is a "breaking news" piece. It must be a slow day in Baltimore.

Toilet-trained chimp on the run in Calif. forest. This was on the front-page of MSNBC. I mean, it's sad to think that this chimp might die but the fact that MSNBC felt it urgent to include that this chimp was "toilet-trained" cracks me up. It's also important to note, as the byline of the article stated, that "Animal served as owner's best man at wedding". I mean - is this how a person is going to identify the chimp on the loose? Honey - look! I think that's a chimp using a toilet! or Honey - look! That chimp looks like it would make a really good best man at a wedding!" I just don't get it.

and my favorite...
Heidi Montag wants to record Christian album. This reminds me of that South Park episode where Cartman decides to form a Christian Rock band called Faith + 1. Just read the wikipedia page on the episode. It was f'n hilarious. And I can't believe someone wrote up a wikipedia page on it!

Here are some of my favorite songs from their album:
"Touch Me Jesus"
"I Found Jesus (With Someone Else)"
"Jesus Touched Me"
"Pleasing Jesus"

I imagine this to be what Heidi's album look like. Who knew she was a Christian?

Btw - I'm still accepting suggestions for a photo blog name.

And that, is reason #347 why I don't ride rollercoasters.

Photo Blog names... probably some you wouldn't want:
I shoot people,
The F-stops here,
Don't be negative...
