what a happy way to start the day

i don't know anymore. you spend your entire life busting your ass to fulfill your dreams, then some jackass just can't wait to get through the light and ends a life. angels pitcher nick adenhart was killed only a few hours after pitching in a loss to oakland last night. that demolished mitsubishi up there would be the car he was extracted from.

the guy was only 22. i'm 20. kind of helps put it in perspective for me. this kid had spent most of last year in AAA ball, and thanks to injuries to three of the angels' starting five, he finally got his shot. and didn't do badly. probably would have stayed with the team if he kept it up, but it's over because of some asshole.

this just goes to prove my theory that men who drive minivans are known killers. it's scientific, trust me, i researched it.
