The television ads to which you referred depicted actual crashes. It was

crashes are precisely why Volkswagen is constantly striving to further

I haven't updated this thing in a while so I feel obliged to say something.
Ok, umm... the jobs going good I'm started to get to like it a little. The hours are crazy long usually at least ten or eleven hours a day. But heck I'm young and I need the money so I'm not complaining.
Over the weekend I cleaned my apartment because my landlady said she was gonna be coming by to do some electrical work. Which is good because the power in my bathroom had been out for like a month. She also fixed a broken window that I now have to pay her back for (yeah I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna get the security deposit back when I move out). So, yay my place is clean and everything works again.  This time I'm going to keep the place clean for a very long time. But i was disappointed I didn't find some of the things I'd been hoping to find when cleaning, But I did find a whole bunch of things I'd lost and a few dollars in spare change.
Saturday night I went with Coral to one of her friend's B-day party. I ended up getting crazy fucked up drunk. And that's all I'm going to say about that.
Over the weekend I bought a hand held 20Q games. Man is that thing freaky. How the hell can the little AI computer thing know what I'm thinking almost all the time? The online version is even freakier because it's AI is backed up by an computer that never stops learning. All I'm saying is that this thing seems a little bit too much like SkyNet for my liking. But still amusing.

Oh, I read the sad news  about msdania 's house on the news page. Oh My God Dania I am so glad you are alright. A house is just a shelter and you can always replace your stuff (not to say that this isn't a tragedy, because it it) but your safety and the safety of your loved one and your memories of what was are what is really truly important. Try not to get all bummed out about it. I'll be praying for you.

On Tuesday, Eric Morris of Florida died after consuming more than two dozen cherry vodka shots within a half hour. Witnesses provided evidence that he had taken 23 to 25 "cherry bomb" shots in a 30 minute duration. A Cherry Bomb is made by combining cherry vodka with the Red Bull energy drink.

The 26-year-old male was said to be participating in a drinking game with another patron at Angel's Show Bar in Seffner Florida hours before he died. While his drinking buddy stopped after just a few shots, for some reason the bartender kept serving Morris and "decided at shot glass 24 or 25 that she wasn't going to serve him anymore." Just moments after being declined more alcohol, Morris "staggered away from the bar where he had been drinking and collapsed."

Unable to resuscitate him, patrons at the bar called 911. Morris was transported to a local hospital and then died about two hours after the party had begun. The odd thing about this is that he used to work in a bar himself, as a bouncer. Seeing people test their limits with alcohol, one would think he would have learned not to outdo himself, however his sister thinks he kept taking the shots to try to prove his endurance, which was valued in their family.

There is currently no legal limit as to how much liquor a bar can serve a patron. Do you think a law like this should be enforced? Many bartenders know when it is time to "cut someone off," however when it comes down to making money, is this really a consideration while serving someone who is severely impaired in making decisions? It seems a large misjudgment caused this man his life, and also a reminder to others when enough is too much.
