We all have our moments.

You know the ones i'm referring to...the ones where, despite our intelligence, we look like absolute morons.

Weither or not we sing the wrong lyrics to a song, because we thought they were saying something else (Eg. The song lyric "I ain't too proud to beg", someone once thought they were saying "I ain't too fried to bang"...and we laughed about it for a long time....and obviously still do). Or something else ridiculous along those lines.

I had one of those moments. I once thought that CNN stood for Canadian National News. I was so wrong, and still get tormented about it....I still dont know what CNN stands for.

I also went to see the first Spiderman movie with LD. I have never read a comic book, and have no clue who's who in the world of Stan Lee.

Half way through the movie, I see the bad guy, lean over to LD and say "Whats that guys name?" She whispers his name, and I say "Oh, thanks" even though I had no idea what she just said.

I lean over again, about 10 seconds later and say "The Green Lantern??" She whispers back "No" and them mumbles something inaudible. I say "Ohh...okay" even though I hadn't heard again.

About 15 seconds later I lean over and say "the Green Comet??", and she sighs and loudly says "GOBLIN"...at which point i'm sure someone sushed her....but it left me in a fit of giggles at my own stupidity.

So come on....fess up. I wanna hear your "stupid" moments.

In Contemplation.

I originally set out to write this post about weither or not I should have a prison pen pal. But the post turned into something much longer, and i posted about a skirt and some creepy guys, that were completely incidental. You're right Linny...the post was really long.

I was online last night, and I have NO idea how I wound up on a site for prison penpals....but each inmate had their profile, and pictures, and of course what they were convicted of, and release date....oh and if they were on death row, if they had an upcoming execution.

Im FAR from lonely, and dont feel that I need a pen pal, as I have a surplus of great amazing friends, who I can talk to anytime....there's a professional part of my being that feels bad for these inmates. Grantid, I do NOT feel bad for the crimes that they have committed, and do NOT feel bad for the consequences they have to pay because of those crimes...But I do feel bad that maybe their families have disowned them, or refuse to talk to them because of what happened....I have seen the other side of being abandoned....its bad.

Then I wondered if people were penpals with Charles Manson....they are. I wondered if people were penpals with John Gotti, or Ted Bundy...they were. And then I wondered, if these turned out to be fan letters, glorifying these criminals, and somehow justifying these crimes to themselves....And then I realized how easy it would be, for someone like Charles Manson, to get one of these fans to do whatever he wanted them to.....

I cant imagine the hell that exists on the other side of crazy....but im sure there's atleast ONE person out there, who thinks that getting a personal letter from a serial killer would be cool....

I'm not saying that i'm going to get a prison penpal....i just know that recidivism rates for petty crime increases, the longer you spend time in jail only associating with other criminals. In an effort to correct the behavior, the government throws them into a confined area where they learn new skills, and where they relearn negative behavior.....maybe if they had someone outside to talk to.....its just finding the person that would put aside all stereotypes, and volunteer.
