In recent weeks the events of September 11th have been used as a universal excuse, sometimes even for things that have no relation to the attacks. Companies say they\’re laying off thousands of workers because of the attacks. Credit card bills are late cause of the attacks. Hell, even the poor box office performance of movies are blamed on the attacks.

I\’m gonna do this too. From now on, I\’m gonna blame everything on September 11th.

\”Hey Evan, why did you shit in the sink?\”
\”September 11th, man.\”

Mobster Shoots Two After Peeking Up Skirt

A Japanese gangster fired his gun and injured two policemen on Friday after they caught him trying to peek up a woman\’s skirt.

That mobster\’s hardcore. He shoots cops and disrespects women.

Finally got my car back from the bodyshop. It looks just like new. Still has the new car smell even. When I was returning the rental car I realized I drove it longer than I drove my own car. Man, that really sucks. Stupid accident.

This little digital camera is pretty neat. It looks like something that comes in a box of Cracker Jacks. The site\’s in Japanese so I can\’t understand it, but the sample pictures actually look pretty good.
