Oh, how I've missed you Brian Williams. And a reporter is broadcasting from Naperville about the shit car market! Fun.

What's not fun is being the #2 story on CNN for having a serial killer in your area. Sheley was in my brother's class. And Russell went to my church. He used to sit in the same seat every time he would come to church...he had such kind blue eyes and always had a simple little smile. It's strange that a man who lived so quietly all of his 93 years would have his life end this violently and have the entire town knowing his name. He should have been allowed to pass on peacefully in his sleep. Why do these things happen to good people, to families that have already had so much pain? I suppose these are the age old questions that you revisit countless times in the course of a life. The answers never have the decency to reveal themselves.

After my visit to Chicago, I decided I'm definitely ready to be out of Sterling and thriving on my own. Well, hopefully thriving. Even though I've wanted it for so long, I didn't know whether I could make it, but I think last week convinced me I can do it. Sooo...yay summer. Last as long as you'd like, but I'll be ready come September.

Oh life, it's bigger
it's bigger than you
and you are not me
