Domestic Geek

I've been hesitant to write about what happened at Platte Canyon High School yesterday. I get a little numb with shock when things like this happen. As I sit here watching the news this morning, I have to get my thoughts out. What the hell is going on in our society? There is no known connection between the creep that did this, Duane Morrison, and the community. He killed a young woman for no reason at all. He terrorized a town for what? He didn't have any demands that we've heard. Then there's the senseless random killing of the Aurora police officer the other day. I don't/can't understand this random violence. How can a person do that? When is this insanity going to stop?

No, not on my computer. With me. I had somewhere I wanted to go today after I showered. Well, here I am, all shower fresh, and I can't remember where the hell it was I had intended to go! LAME!

Remember awhile back when all of those Star Trek inpirational posters were all over the net? It seems like everybody was linking to those! Anyway, it reminded me that I had seen an online poster maker and I set off to find it. I had meant to post the picture I made with it right away and totally spaced it out. In the process of cleaning crap off my hard drives, I came across this one that I had made of Skippy and Marcus. You can make one, too, with this handy little motivational poster maker.



Aren't they too cute? I just had to share!

I've written before about how I'd benefit from being able to relax and I feel I need to learn to meditate. I ran across a Self Help Book I'd like to get called Simone and Elvis: Why Act Like a Mouse When You're Really a Cat?

This beautifully illustrated book of fables and inspirational quotations ... where the reader will understand in a fun, entertaining and insightful way, how the mind often puts us in a negative space and how we can recognize that within us.

The site also features some free flash videos designed to help you relax. I tried those last night and I actually had the first good night's sleep I've had in awhile.
