Obligatory post about OJ & something totally unrelated

Oh how I miss high speed. I'm sitting here in the library right now listening to some streaming trance/techno music over iTunes. My dialup at home just won't cut it. The library closes in about 8 minutes. Hmmm.

In doing research for my latest search engine optimization course assignment. I found that one of my sites had a link through Stumbleupon. God, that always sets off a chain of time-wasting events. That's not always bad though.

I found Carrie & Danielle's site about personal style. They're in Vancouver if you're interested. Looking at it made me wonder what exactly I'm trying to project in my personal style. That's a hard one to figure out. I haven't got a clue. Maybe that's what I'm trying to project? If so, I'm a roaring success. Maybe I'll trade a little PR work for some style advice. :)

Now, I will inflict my point of view on you about this whole OJ thing. I almost wish I hadn't written it now. Too late for that though.

OJ fumbles freedom – charged in memorabilia robbery

If you got away with murdering your wife and her friend, don’t you think you’d try to keep a low profile after that, all the while promising God you’d be good?

As we all know too well, for OJ Simpson, this represents the path not taken, and it’s to our regret. Instead, he seems to lap up all the lurid and outrageous tabloid press he can. While he hasn’t topped the infamous murder acquittal from the mid 90s, he’s back in the spotlight after allegedly participating in an apparent repo (robbery) of his own memorabilia.

He has such good lawyers around him, you’d think they would have advised him not to participate in an armed robbery. Hey, too bad they weren’t around to advise him not to commit a double murder, but that’s another story. (Oh, he was acquitted you say? If OJ has a problem with me saying he’s a murderer, he can sue me. On the other hand, there might be those out there who have such a dim view of lawyers that that might say the lawyers would encourage him to commit murder so they can fleece him/represent him in court. Yes, a dim view that I do not hold…generally…I think. Probably. Most of the time.)

OJ has been arrested and has not been granted bail. Apparently he’s believed to be a flight risk. I am not sure about a flight risk, but maybe a driving risk. Hide the white Broncos in Vegas, if you know what I mean.

Who knows what really happened in that hotel room in Vegas? I guess what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas.

I only hope that the American justice system will finally lock up this moron for good. Hopefully we won’t be further insulted by a reality TV show about OJ’s life in jail. (Don’t bet on it.) Frankly, if I was his cellmate, I’d pretty worried.

It is unfortunate that I have a TV with lots of channels because he’s going to be all over the place in the next six months. His first trial was a circus and this one is going to be on par, maybe even more of a circus. You won’t be able to escape, unless you don’t watch TV, don’t listen to your radio, read newspapers or magazines and don’t use the Internet. I just hope his trial doesn’t get advertised on buses and billboards. Don’t read blogs either!! Haha!

Apparently now he’s been granted bail. He’s on the loose again. Thank God I’m not in Vegas.
