This is, in my opinion, one of the worst things our courts have done to a young man in years. Genarlow Wilson was a high school athelete who admits he wasn’t the best kid, never deserved to go to jail, and I have to agree. Here’s a snippet from the article:
He’s 20 now. Just two years into a 10-year sentence without possibility of parole, he peers through the thick glass and bars, trying to catch a glimpse of freedom. Outside, guard towers and rolls of coiled barbed wire remind him of who he is.
Once, he was the homecoming king at Douglas County High. Now he’s Georgia inmate No. 1187055, convicted of aggravated child molestation.
When he was a senior in high school, he received oral sex from a 10th grader. He was 17. She was 15. Everyone, including the girl and the prosecution, agreed she initiated the act. But because of an archaic Georgia law, it was a misdemeanor for teenagers less than three years apart to have sexual intercourse, but a felony for the same kids to have oral sex.

While I seem to have gotten better, Jess has gotten worse, and while I’m not the sick one, the delay still stands while I tend to making her feel better.
The bright side? It gives me a little extra time to play Final Fantasy XII.
I believe Jess and I are working through some kind of cold or something that I’m pretty sure started with someone at my office (who’s dedication caused him to show up every single day, no matter how sick he was). Ugh.
Once I feel better I’ll finish the site… I hate being sick!
I thought I’d start semi-reviewing food on here, since I’ve been trying a lot of different things lately. I figured I’d start things off with something I’ve been eating for the past 3 weeks or so.
A few weeks back while doing some shopping for quick lunches I could eat in the office, I stumbled across the Simply Asia brand of Asian cuisine. A quick check of the nutrition facts told me that this would be a fair thing to try, and it looked much better than the standard “soup in a can” that I’d been eating. Let me say, looks did not decieve this time… this food was amazing! There are more varieties than I can name, but my favorite thing they make are their rice noodle soup bowls… for around just 275 calories, it fills me up for most of the day. Simply Asia makes more than just soup, they also have noodle bowls and boxes that, in my opinion, are better than some of the asian restaurants in my area.
The only negative thing about their products are the amount of sodium, but that seems standard when it comes to soup or other asian noodle meals. If you’re watching your salt intake, this is not for you… otherwise I say “Dig in”!
The site is so close to being done I can taste it! A few more tweaks, a couple of updates, and I can finally change the main page so that it points here once again!
Whoooo!
