why, hello there!

In an attempt to put off doing my homework for the day, I decided to read some news on CNN.com. Here's what I found:

  • Police have issued arrest warrants for country singer Billy Joe Shaver after he shot and wounded a man outside a Texas bar, the entertainer's attorney said

Shaver?

  • A woman has died according to Atlanta's Grady Hospital following a shooting Tuesday at the CNN Center complex, in what Atlanta police called a "domestic situation."
    The woman, who witnesses said appeared to be pregnant, was shot and the gunman was then shot by a Cpt. Odell Adams, who joined Turner Security in 1996, according to a Turner spokesperson.

B, watch out for security guards, CNN building, and guns. kthanks.

  • Bush is asking Congress for more money in Iraq (which will only lead to more war...) and discourage Nancy Pelosi from going to Syria to speak with their president (she has been received with a warm welcome and it is said that this will help the relationship between the 2 countries)

ugh.ew. is it 2008 yet?

  • Also, found some new news on the Ecuador situation. In case you don't know, they are having some political chaos. Not so much chaos as drama. Which is NOTHING new for this country. They always have political drama. But, this is happening while I'm here which makes me feel kind of important in a far away kind of way....check it out if you're interested (it has stuff to do with the fact that the congress members, or representatives of some sort, are still not all on board with Correa & his plan of action for the country. A bunch of them were fired and a whole bunch were hired in their place....)

Just FYI. thought i'd share. in case those of you reading hadn't read the news today.... :)

You keep up with the news. Good for you. I've paid much more attention to the events in Equador since you've been there. Pray for Uncle T.

Leah, I'm thanking God that you are not in Blacksburg right now. My heart is breaking at the loss of 31 of your schoolmates, but I would be a nervous wreck if you weren't so far away. Knowing you're safe is comforting to me. I'm sure you wish you were here to comfort your friends though. I love you and miss you, my sweet cousin! =)
