We're Not in Kansas Anymore

Sheesh, I wake up at 2 or 3am this morning to a mild thunderstorm, followed by SERIOUS terrential rains that unfortunately spawned a tornado or two just a bit north of my area of town. You'd think we were in the middle of summer already.

Alright...how's this for random thoughts:

• Listened to a good portion of Hannity on the radio going home from work one day. A caller made me very nervous with what he said. Summation of his call was that he didn't care about the rest of the world, and only cared about the US, which is why he chose the side he chose politically, and why he thinks the Iraq War (and US troops falling in combat) is wrong. My thoughts? I DO think that every country in the world should have a little bit of a self absorped mindset in an attempt to better themselves. However, when it's at the expense of the rest of the world, that's just lame assed snooty behavior. Taking on the role of mediator when few other countries even bother to think about doing so, and jumping in whether it be a civil conversation or assault by missile seems to me to be a much better route in saving the world. I'd rather do that than kick back and ignore the plight of the rest of the world that could spill over into the US or affect us negatively in the future (if we don't help).
• The third installment to Pirates of the Caribbean (At World's End - hopefully this one won't be a stinker) may be premiered on May 19th (a truly special day if you ask me) at Disneyland. Awe shucks...I'll be on the wrong coast, enjoying the parks at Disney World. (Check out Disneyland.com for details - Have fun attendees!)
• The Dresden Files on SciFi - Just "so-so" compared to the book I've been reading so far. I thought it'd be a little darker, Dres would be in a literal shack of a basement with his dog and cat, that he wouldn't be a ladies man, would have that cool leather duster and more (longer) hair! If you're interested, check it out. It's CSI meets Harry Potter, set on the streets of Chi Town.
• I'm wearing a red shirt today. No, it's not Gay Days at WDW, but it is the start of Heart Health Awareness month. Check it out (http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1200000)
• I went to Disney Quest with friends this past weekend, and old school'd it with skee-ball, air hockey, pinball and 80's games until my right arm could move no more. Now I need to get myself to be ambidextrous in games again, so I can evenly destroy my left arm.
