Kudos to the British for dropping the hammer on the terrorists. Screw those bastards. Except that it's making us look bad. I mean, why don't we see the US catching terrorists like that? Maybe it's because we are just more effective at preventing them from getting as far as they did in London these days. I hope so. 
My community has been all upset by the trouble with the space shuttle as we are the home base for NASA. I just can't understand why they can't keep something that seems like such a minor structural problem from happening when they can do all that other shit. What I think was worse was their announcement that the space shuttle program was grounded before they got Discovery back to Earth. I mean, that doesn't seem like very good PR to me. On a sidenote: It was very strange and exciting when Columbia crashed because I happened to be in my hometown in East Texas. The collision was about 60-75 miles away from town and it still shook my parent's house. I thought it was an earthquake and ran into the bathroom. Later on my friend Harmon when to the site to help look for pieces of the destroyed ship.
There was another explosion at the British Petroleum refinery in Texas City today. Yes, the same one that had the huge blast earlier this summer. Things like that interest me because I don't understand them. The company I work for manufactures flare stack monitors to control the environmental output of flares burning off waste in petrochemical plants. My dad has tried to explain how those plants work, but I just can't understand it. And the end result of it all amazes me. The idea of production and processes interests me because I, like many people, am impatient. It is difficult sometimes when you are learning how life really works when you aren't looking for shortcuts.
My co-worker brought me the new Rolling Stone today. I read it and threw it in the trash. I used to love that magazine, but its become the mouthpiece of "an industry of cool" and a vulgar platform for liberal propaganda. Has anybody actually read Rolling Stone Magazine lately? I mean, I had forgiven their transgressions against Led Zeppelin. I was even able to forget the offensive review of America's Sweetheart. But this time, they've totally sold out. I'm thoroughly disgusted. I'll never read Rolling Stone again.
"Coronary Heart Disease is the number one killer of both men and women in the U.S. Each year, more than 500,000 Americans die of heart attacks caused by CHD."
Today I had a thought. If heart disease is the number one killer of Americans, does that mean that they died of a broken heart?
I mean, that makes sense to me. I can't imagine dying from anything else, can you? If your heart is what keeps you alive, and it breaks, then logically you would die, right? This might scare some people, but not me. It actually makes me hopeful. It reminds me that I am not truly heartbroken, because I am not dead.
