championships

Well this weekend is our PSAC indoor championship meet at East Stroudsburg Univesity. We have a lot of athletes that qualified and could possibly win the indoor title for both men and women. Its going to take a lot of good performances though. I only run on Saturday so I have all day Sunday to watch my teammates compete. It should be a good time. I might be grumpy on Monday though because we won't be getting home until the early hours on Monday morning. Wish us all luck.

library labtops

I love using the labtops at the library. It is so convenient to grab a labtop and find your own little corner or whereever. I always seem to get the ones that only last for 30 minutes to an hour. It never fails. Does anyone else have this problem? I must say that I love labtops. Im thinking of purchasing one. Anyone have any suggestions on a good laptopo to purchase?

lakers vs suns

How about that Lakers vs Suns basketball game? I didn't get to watch it, but it seemed like a pretty intense game. Did anyone watch it by chance? I think high scoring games that are close in score are so much more interesting than low scoring games. I would of liked to see Shaq play in his first game with the Suns. And as always I love to watch Kobe Bryant play. I am not a fan of the man, but he sure is a great basketball player.

women and body image

So I just finished reading an article in Glamour magazine on how men like women who are not surgically enhanced. It seems like no matter where I look, there is something about weight mentioned. I understand our country has a "big" problem with weight and it seems to be getting worse. I think this needs to be worked on, but then on the other hand, we have so many girls with eating disorders. I think that Hollywood sends a bad message to girls with all the "skinny actresses" and all the talk about who lost weight and who gained weight. No wonder girls have problems. We want to look good and feel good. I think this is a big reason why women go out and have surgery done. So as I read this article and this guy wrote about how men don't like women with fake breasts or what not, then why do we go thru the trouble of dieting or getting surgery. It isnt just to impress the opposite sex, its to help our self esteems. Im just wondering in the long run if it really helps or hinders. Women need to learn to love themselves they way they are. Also we aren't getting any younger so why try and make ourselves look 30 years younger than we are. Im a firm believer in "beauty comes with age".

valentine's day

So who invented Valentine's Day anyways? Im not saying that I have a problem with it, but its just another reason to spend money. I do think this holiday is great for young kids. My daughter gets such a kick out of writing on the cards and getting candy for her classmates. That was are nightly activity last night. Altho after a half hour she was bored and I had to finish them. I think Valentine's Day is legit, but the real question what is Sweetest Day for? Isn't that kind of the same as Valentine's Day? I hope you all have a great Valentnine's Day.

beating of young newborns/toddlers

What is it with people today? How can someone no matter what age they are, beat a young newborn or toddler to death? I was reading the paper and came upon an article stating that a 20 year old man received 20-40 years in prison for beating his 21 month old son. Is this justice? This child never had the oppurtunity to do anything is his life. The boy won't get to go to school, make friends, marry, have children of his own, nothing. This man has taken that all away from him. I hardly find 20-40 years justice. It would be somewhat different had this been an adult who could defend themselves, but a toddler. It amazes me how often I am hearing or reading about a young child being beaten or shaken to death or even murdered. It also sickens me even more when I read that a mother has committed the crime. A mother is suppossed to be nuturing and loving. I do understand not all of us want to be parents, but there are plenty of people who do. Why not give the child up instead of trying to deal with the child? It just saddens me when I look at my daughter after reading something like this. A childs love is the best love anyone could ever receive.

sick

Well I finally got hit with the "bug" that is going around. It knocked me completely out for three days. I missed all my classes on Thursday and Friday. I hope that I didn't miss anything to important in class. If I have class with you and I missed something, would you please send me an email. I would greatly appreciate it. lhk9912@sru.edu. Thanks
