don't be a lemming!

As I work on my 3rd story installment i'm left with the fear that my second story sucked- that's okay, i know it didn't- it wasn't the work of raymand carver but i'm going to have to persevere anyway... that's why i got into flash fiction. always too impatient to get to the end. ( besides my mom likes it ; ) so the weather report is:
Today
Jul 9 Mostly Sunny
82°/60° 0%
82 °F
Don't Forget Your Sunblock

Tuesday is suppose to be 90. Man it sucks to not have a/c some times. I say it builds character but I'd be lying if I said I thought that was a good thing- are we tough by choice or circumstance?

Anyways. I'm going to go eat brk-fast, go to the beach for the completion of my "super-tan" and finish Don Quixote- so help me. Peace out.

Pen, why don't you blog something (the dog who eats fireworks is pretty hilarious, albiet minuetly terrifying- sort of like: how much does THIS SUCK: (a friend passed this along to me, okay it's sort of funny too. I know, i know, i need to be more sensitive.)

450 Sheep Jump to Their Deaths in Turkey

ISTANBUL, Turkey -- First one sheep jumped to its death. Then stunned Turkish shepherds, who had left the herd to graze while they had breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed, each leaping off the same cliff, Turkish media reported.

In the end, 450 dead animals lay on top of one another in a billowy white pile, the Aksam newspaper said. Those who jumped later were saved as the pile got higher and the fall more cushioned, Aksam reported.

"There's nothing we can do. They're all wasted," Nevzat Bayhan, a member of one of 26 families whose sheep were grazing together in the herd, was quoted as saying by Aksam.

The estimated loss to families in the town of Gevas, located in Van province in eastern Turkey, tops $100,000, a significant amount of money in a country where average GDP per head is around $2,700.

"Every family had an average of 20 sheep," Aksam quoted another villager, Abdullah Hazar as saying. "But now only a few families have sheep left. It's going to be hard for us."

((so now instead of lemmings we can say, "What?! if a sheep jumped off a cliff you would too?!"))
