One week ago Friday

Sorry I haven't posted for a week. It has been a long yet a short one; a hard one yet an easy one. Normal sunny afternoon -actually evening in Seattle. Friday and I'm bored out of my mind even though I have some work to do which I'm not doing. All my feelings in a few sentences.
Anyways, there are going to be some changes here in my spot and you'll notice them soon enough.
NBC Nightly News and ABC's World News were great and you should watch NN's netcast on MSNBC.com and WN's webcast at ABCNews.com. Nightly News's studio is being redone and according to Brian, they'll be ready by winter. Seems like a long time. I wonder how long it took to makeover ABC's WNT studio with Peter.
Remember Celine Dion and "Elvis"'s duet on American Idol. I liked it and the song, so here.



Have a great weekend.

This TGI Friday in Seattle

Sorry I haven't posted for a week now, although I probably nobody even reads this. Summer feels like it's coming in soon; and you can feel the Sun's ray of warmth agreeing. With people mowing their lawns and tending their gardens, planning July vacations, hearing baseball games on the radio, and seeing kids out playing in the streets and in the woods, you know summer will be on its way soon.
Anyways, it's a regular Friday afternoon here in the Puget Sound/Seattle area. Friday's traffic around the highways has started and is slowing people down as they try to head home. If I were a local news anchor, I'd be able to better show you the local atmosphere with it's clouds, sun, traffic, and people's faces showing their Friday feelings.

Usually I get off the bus early but today I was last and I was able to better see the regular Seattle traffic as my friends head on home. And we were listening to Radio Disney and a song that shows the feelings of this local commute atmostphere in Puget Sound and across the nation, came on.

This is how we live in America with our cars commuting on highways and bi-ways; this song tells all.


It's Friday; TGIF. Have a great weekend...

This Week

Sunny Friday afternoon here in Seattle. So much has been happening this week and anniversaries of events that almost coincide with the stories happening. This whole week has been about Virginia Tech's tragedy and the troubled killer, the mailing of a package, the controversy of gun control as well as censorship in media. Now my teen mind is full and almost confused with the problems surrounding this massacre; how a young man could develop his mind into a troubled and sick head, how idiots will try to politicize the grief and sadness of family and friends, and how a world can support the people hurt in the tragedy. Yes this is the world we live in, full of so much grief and joy, tragedy and triumph.
I was thinking of giving "Over the Rainbow" but I decided to give a song I'm sure you know.

Have a great weekend...

Day of Mourning

Last night on ABC's World News, Charlie Gibson introduced a short memorial slideshow of the victims killed by the boy with a troubled mind in Virginia Tech. I thought it was quite moving.
Tonight World News' Persons of the Week are the killed students of Virginia Tech. Today was an official day of mourning in Virginia and people are displaying their suppport by wearing the VT's colors of maroon and orange. This morning on "Good Morning America", Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts were wearing maroon/orange in support; I've been wearing orange today too.
Be sure to read "When the Networks Do the Right Thing" on ABCNews.com .
Today was also the eighth anniversary of Columbine. Ironic but the troubled boy probably wanted it like that.
Anyways...
Later
