A New Beginning in the Blog World

Hello everyone!
This is my private blog. I tried using other programs but this one was the quickest and easiest one to set up and use. I have not slept. I should because I must be up at 5 in the morning to get ready for a blood test.
Unfortunately, I can't sleep. Some friends and family members disagree with me but I think it is wrong to starve Terri Schiavo simply because her husband, Michael, claims she wanted it that way. Blatant hearsay! Yet, every level of the government has denied the parents the ability to care for her.

In my column, Just My Bellybutton, from my online magazine www.audacitymagazine.com I write about my personal views on this situation.

But what is really keeping me from sleeping is America's ability to mix up its priorities. It appears that steroid use among professional mulitmillion dollar baseball players is way more pertinent to us than the fate of Terri Schiavo.

Of course, it is more important to hear what Jose Conseco has to say about his illegal drug use than to know that a woman will starve to death.

Perhaps if they were to give Terri a sleeping medication so she would die quickly and painlessly it would not appear so cruel. But no, let's add more salt to the wound and push this story on to the backburner because we need to discuss how overly paid athletes use steroids to excel in a sport.

It's times like these that I am soooo thrilled to be an American.

What next?
