Links-R-Us, Vol. 13

Welcome to another Link-Friday.  The type of news that I like to post has been pretty tame as of late so it has taken almost three weeks to come up with my standard five links.  I know that there really has been plenty of news occurring, but all of it has been rather depressing and that’s really not the purpose of Link-Friday in my mind…  My vision for Link-Friday has always been semi-comical and thought provoking without being depressing.  So, on that note, let the clicking of links begin!

The following link is one that is sad, comical and befuddling.  The link is to a story of a 70 year old father that shoots his 50 year old son for singing a Kenny Chesney song.  It’s really confusing and sad that this happened…  But, it really makes me laugh to think that I can empathize with the father due to the son’s selection of music.  Go figure.

Welcome to Wednesday

What a difference a couple of hours make...  For the last 15 hours I have been really frustrated and annoyed at myself.  You see, I made the mistake of actually getting on a scale for the first time in over a month.  And, wouldn’t you know, I was up almost 15 pounds from a month ago.  Talk about sad.  For the last year it seems like I have been rehashing the SAME 30 pounds.  Sometimes up, sometimes down…  Well… I seem to have done in one month what I normally accomplish over a five month trend.  Thus, I am annoyed.
