Why am I so high maintenance? Jeez. I like sitting at home but I hate not being involved it would be nice if people could just call once in a while. Maybe I'll just turn off my phone and cancel the internet so I don't know I'm missing out. Call me people, I have no life, I hate to think I have no friends either.

I fail at travel blogging and fell for an Italian

As you may have noticed, I didn't get to do the full grand prix blog. I was swamped with the 97degree weather, and my cousins funeral. That being said the United States Grand Prix was a rip-roaring good time, even though Ferrari came in 3rd and 4th. I bear the sunburns to prove it. I'll have the pics up once they are developed. Again please keep the Morgenroths in your prayers as they heal during this difficult time.
More news, I found the best reason to go to Italy, if not for the cars, food, culture, weather, history etc... Her name is Monica Bellucci, an Italian actress, known as Mary Magdalene in the Passion. Probably the hottest thing this side of the sun. My Lord. Thats about all I can say. I fully intend to move to Italy, marry her, and make lot's of babies. Yay for baby-making and yay for gorgeous Italians.

My Skin, Ferrari Red

This years United States Grand Prix is already shaping up to be a rip roaring good time. Ferrari and McLaren are neck-and-neck in both the drivers and constructors championships. Not only that, but it's supposed to be a sunny 90 degrees tomorrow at practice. Hopefully I'll be there to enjoy it. I'll explain later.
As it is, the weather was very warm today at the Pit-Lane Walkthrough. We only spent about four and a half hours at the speedway and already my skin is taking on a burnt-red tone. Luckily it doesn't hurt, yet. It was nice, there was a crowd in front of Ferrari, as usual. We were able to get pretty up close to the Scuderia Toro Rosso (driven by Scott Speed and Vitantonio Liuzzi). Got some good pictures of the car. Also I finally got to drive F1 on the Ps3. It made me happy. Also the Ferrari guys seem pretty confident, hopefully we'll pull out a win here and Ferrari's Indianapolis dominance will continue. I love that stadium full of people in Ferrari red. Hopefully practice tomorrow will go well for Ferrari, and hopefully both McLaren's engines will explode.
Ok so heres the deal. My cousin, John Morgenroth, died yesterday, June 13th. He was 18 years old and graduated high school two weeks ago. Being in Indianapolis and having invested alot in this we can't just up and leave, however we can't blind ourselves to what happened. The wake is tomorrow and funeral is Saturday. So unfortunately I feel we're going to have to choose our battles on this one. Please keep John and his family in your prayers, especially his sister who was on a mission trip in Atlanta, GA and had to make an emergency return home. It came as a shock to all of us.

Ahhhh, I love how this all suddenly becomes objective. Why shouldn't the Koreans eat dogs if they so wish? They are farmed in better conditions than a lot of meat from the USA and Europe. Korea is a totally different culture to the West and do not view dogs in the same way that you do. That does not make the fact that they eat dogs wrong. Dogs are considered livestock in Korea, not pets. Look beyond your own idea of what a dog is before you start this sort of nonsense. Honestly, I don't think most Americans / people around the world are shocked by the fact that they eat dogs in Korea becase they understand that it is culturally different to the West.

You see it very black and white? So, essentially, what you see is that animals are the equals of humans? That's not even insane, it's just stupid. Do you not realise just how obtuse the suggestion that if one eats one sort of meat one should eat it all is? Many people I know eat what they can / could kill themselves. Thankfully, most of those people I know wouldn't be able to kill a human. I don't know about you, but I'm thankful for that.
