A Day in Paris
Muhahahaha, I DVR’d a South Park last night, but it was not the episode that was supposed to be on.. Instead, Comedy Central switched it to the episode with Paris Hilton in it. Muhahaha, they knew something was going down!! Man, she’s a stupid spoiled whore. Well, she’s back in jail where she belongs.

Arthritis Walk this Saturday
Hey everybody! Just letting you know about the Arthritis Walk this Saturday, June 9 at George Wyth State Park in Waterloo with 8:00 AM registration. You can check out my various posts about Arthritis here.
The Arthritis Walk is the Arthritis Foundation’s signature event that takes place in communities nationwide to raise funds and awareness to fight arthritis, the nation’s leading cause of disability.
Our daughter Ellie (click here for super cute pictures.) has Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. 300,000 children nationwide have some form of Arthritis. (There are over 100 forms!!!)
Ellie was last year’s Youth Honoree. You can read an article about her here.
We have over 25 people walking with Team Waverly this Saturday!! Anybody in the area that would like join up feel free to head over to our site: Team Waverly
Anybody who wishes do dontate can do it very easily online. It’s fun and I heard that donating to the Arthritis Foundation can solve Global Warming, Iraq, Iran, and will help to secure the border. Don’t ask me to supply supporting facts. 
Anyway, you can head over to this link if you want to dontate a few bucks. Do it! You’ll feel good. Heh.
