02/06/2009: "It was 1989, My Thoughts Were Short, My Hair Was Long"

Nadya Suleman, the octuplet's mom, say's she's stopping her life for them, providing herself to her children, being present in their lives, and then in her next breath she say's she's going back to school in the fall so she can provide for them with a good income. Who's going to "be present for them" while she's in school? Are her parents really going along with this? I think she'd better just find the best deal for the right's to her story and stay home with her 14 kids in a new house instead of her parents 3 bedroom house.
She injured her back at work in a mental hospital riot, went on disability and proceeded to have 14 children, all conceived by invitro-fertilization. Did the tax-payer have to pay for this? When she does finally decide on the best deal she should have to pay back whoever has been supporting her. I'll be interested in seeing her other 6 kids and how well adjusted they are, on Dateline tuesday night.
Also in the news is Michael Phelps being photographed while smoking pot in a bong. Yes he was an idiot for doing it at a party where everyone has cell phone cameras but he was on a break from swimming and I'd be willing to bet that if he swam his best while not being loaded and then did it again after smoking some pot, his performance wouldn't be all that different.
I wonder how many of his sponser's that are pulling out because of this, have smoked pot in their past, and know it's not that big a deal but have to make a point to "Joe Public" that they don't condone this behavior for fear of losing the publics support.
Michael can't be all bad, he has a bulldog as a pet. Hey Michael, smoke at home!
Some friends of mine lost their brother yesterday morning. It made me think how bad it would be to lose mine. They both battled the same disease but mine seems to have turned his health around. I hope I go before any more of my family dies. It's just so hard to see them sick and wasting away.
I hope to dance ahead of any life threatening disease. Let's All Dance!
