For what its worth.
Tonight, just after 12 a.m. "Tookie" Williams will be executed in California. There are two points of view surrounding this. View one is that he should not die, he has done more good than bad. View two is that he should die. The man gunned down four people in two different armed robberies in the early eightys. He has done a good thing while in prison, no doubt. HE KILLED FOUR PEOPLE. His work with anti-gang groups was a great thing. He must pay the penalty for what he did. The death penalty is not a punishment or a deterent, it is a consecuince. What he did was wrong and now he has to pay the price. Maybe it is the justice system's fault for letting him sit in prison for so long. We need quicker times between sentencing and execution. Those are my two cents. Have a great day everybody.

Fist post in over a month
It has been forever since I posted anything on here, so here goes nothing.
Today has been a good day. I woke up and went to my math class and all was good. I got a test back from last week and I made a 75 on it. Its not what I had expected but it was the third highest grade in the class. The good part of this is that our teacher has decided to let us rework the test for extra credit. Thank God for great teachers like Mrs. Moore. I like her a lot. I wrote a short essay for a group research project on Anne Bradstreet and It was quick, painless and enjoyable. Now here in an hour or so I am going to the driving range to whack some golf balls. today has been a good day. Its fall already and it feels great outside. There is nothing like the cool wind blowing across your face. It has been hot, cool, hot, cool, down here lately but at least the gnats and mosquitoes are leaving me alone. darn bugs. yep. I guess that about raps up my daily rant for the month of November, but i will try to write fairly regularly this month. Peace out my brothers.

Random thoughts
I'm sitting here doing nothing and I realize that I have been back at school for a month. I have accomplished nothing. I have gone to class, and learned some stuff that I will probably never use in the "real world", but other than that I have done nothing of importance. I have been fishing once, run one mile, made 2 or 3 new acquaintances, and slept and eaten more than I should have. Its all good. I guess that's what being away at college is all about. Im bored out of my skull half the time. I was walking across campus the other day to my awesome World History I class and realized something. College is kind of like high school. You have groups of students that are all carbon copies of each other that run in packs, kind of like wolves. This is my take on some of the groups that I have seen over the past two years.
- The most visible group of people on campus is the 'I wish I was a cowboy redneck' They are identified by their jacked up trucks that cost as much as a small house that was bought and paid for by daddy. They act all cool and wave their rebel flags and blast rap music from their custom sound systems. Both sexes of this group are always seen with a dip of snuff tucked securely into their bottom lip. Rumor has it that their is a large member of this group that climbs up on the flat bed of his truck to get up on his horse.
- You have also got your super cool Rico Suave wanna be kids with their Darth Vader helmet looking hair. These guys are gods in their own minds.
- You also have your students who's only wish is to get in to UGA 'cause thats where all of the good lookin guy/girls are. They will never be enrolled at Athens because they party everyday, never study and hardly ever go to class.
- My personal favorite is the group of kids that love for people to 'not get' them. You know the kind. They are anti-every thing. Your opinion doesnt matter. They think it makes them look cool to be against everything that the system is. They like to cause strife and like to get under people's skin with ideas that they dont even belive in themselves.
Im sorry. Thats just the way that I see things. Where do I fall, I ask myself. I really dont know. I do my studies, go to class, and have a good time when its appropriate. I am addicted to coffee and NCAA 06. Thats about it.

September Already
Here we are and on the doorstep of Autumn. I got in from class and watched foxnews and the pictures of New Orleans and Louisiana on TV. I cant imagine all of the devistation that has taken place. I gripe about gas prices and the folks out there have gone through all that they have. They are stranded on roofs and overpasses, just waiting to be helped. The city is being taken over by looters and there doesnt seem to be enough help. At least the waters have stoped rising. My prayers are with everyone affected by the hurricane. God be with all of you.

It has been too long...
Here we go. Two months ago I wrote a post that was titled- Finally a new post----but it has been two months. I figured that today is as good a day as any to write a another newer post. Summer is here and is almost over. Work is terrible, there is no fun in working. I think Im going to pan handle for a living. I have heard that some homeless folk make about 250-300 dollars an hour begging for money. It has all been pretty good. I know that any frequent readers I once had are long gone by now. I wish I had more things to write about but right now I am pretty drained. I have had so much going on over the last week.

Finally a new Update
Today is Tuesday, and what a beautiful day it has been. I have been having a great week. I have been reading a book for my Intro to Government class and some things have been brought to my attention. There are so many things left out of our high school text books. We learn who people are, but we dont learn about them. We all know that the government moved the Native Americans from the eastern woodlands to the west. We dont hear about the murders, we dont hear about manifest destiny. How their whole culture, their whole world was destroyed. We blame and look down on the Germans for their pertaking in the holocost, but we did the same thing. We did the same thing. Our reasons behind the genocide are out played and hold no water. We needed land, they were hostile. We moved so many tribes of proud people to reservations in the west. We take land from other people so that we can keep others in captivity. It is ridiculous. I know that it all happened 200 years ago but it just bothers me that a people can do that to another.

Its April Already
Today I was thinking, man this year has really flown by. As of today there is about a month of school left. yep. Summer is on its way. Only a month till I get to sleep in my own bed, eat my momma's cooking and hang out with my girl friend. I am so ready. I like school, and I like being down here but Im ready for Summer time. School has been a good experience. I am glad that I decided to go to college. This has been alot better than working in a mill. Maybe the next three years will fly by like this one. Im ready to teach and make money doing what I want to do.

Another Day,
Wow, The past week has been both awesome and terrible all in the same breath. My 22nd birthday has come and gone and Easter has passed. Every thing has gone well. This morning I find out that a friend of mine was killed in a car accident this morning. Im at a loss for words. I really dont know what to think right now. Its numbing, really. We are twenty two years old. We cant die. My God, we are invincible, or at least we think that we are. But I guess thats not the case.

Hey, Its almost my birthday
I was sitting here tonight and I was thinking, boy its March already. There are only 18 shopping days left untill my birthday. I know that it isnt a big deal, blah blah blah, but Its my Birthday. yep. Im almost old. Well thats what I used to think. But now I look at thirty being old. Not really. My ideas of being 'old' have changed over the past few years. Old isnt the number of years that you have lived. You are as old as you feel. I know people my age that act like fifty year olds, and then again I know fifty year olds that act like they are 22. Its all in your head. I am going to be a kid all of my life. I have decided that I am always going to be optimistic about people, and about the future, just like a child. Thats what matters. Live your life positivley and try to touch someone every day. A word of kindness or encouragement is all that it takes. Ladies and gentlemen, that is my word of thought for the day. Now, it is my bed time. William Allouicious Bradley, Esquire, is out.

Happy Days are Here Again
Its finally Friday and I am on the verge of another weekend of doing nothing. Yep, its great. Short on cash and spring break is a week away. Maybe I can go sell some plasma or something. I might even sell my roomate's truck on Ebay. Anybody want a white Ford? Ill sell it cheap, a couple grand, that sounds good. How about a horse, any body want to buy a decent roping horse? I have one of those for sale, too. Yep. Well, I guess thats about it for the time being. When your up, it's never as good as it seems, and when your down you never think your going to be back up again......remember that. Good words to live by.

Another Mind Numbing Post
Have you ever wanted something so bad that when you got it it wasnt as good you thought it was going to be? I am hoping and praying that Spring break hurries up and gets here. Its something that I have been thinking about alot lately. I have been thinking about how great its going to be to sleep in MY bed for a week, and how I get to hang out with my girlfriend. Thats great, and I know that it is going to be great but I hope that Im not over doing it. I have got nine days until I leave this awesome place for spring break. Everybody I know is heading south towards the beach and Florida, and I am running in the opposite direction. Headed north. 3 and 1/2 half hours if the traffic coming through Atlanta is clear. I am so ready.

The world as I see it
Here we are, another glorious February day. Its about 65 or 70 degrees outside and I am sitting here typing on my computer. How boring is that. I really havent had a whole lot to say lately and I didnt just want to type up alot of jibberish. Today I figured that I would get on here and make myself write a short commentary on the world around me. Nothing huge has happened since the last time that I posted. Ward Churchill has stirred up a lot of stuff, and is completely out of line by the things that he says. Anyone who calls for more terroristic attacks on his own country, or any country for that matter is not hitting on all cylinders.
In other news my roomates and I have had a time trying to keep our appartment clean. Yesterday we decided to totally clean everything. We would have made our mommas proud. The only deal is one of our roomates is a total slob and never does anything for himself. All of a sudden he is getting on us for things that we accidentaly leave lying out. Its stupid. I dont understand it. He has left out mayo, ketchup, mustard and things like that for the past week. He still hasnt cleaned that up and he thinks that he is the god of the appartment. I dont know, maybe we should just beat him up or something. It might do him some good.
I guess that is all that I have got for now. I guess im just a bore. I really doubt that anyone ever reads this but if anyone does, thank you for taking the time to check out by blog.
