I hope to soon start blogging about my adventures as an EMT, but for now all the news I have is about the fact that I will be arriving in NOLA in under 18 hours and I have nowhere to live. I'm also not quite done packing yet, and I need to leave my house by 4:45AM tomorrow.

Hold on... raise your hand if you care.

I get a little more frustrated each time I log onto AIM, because the news headlines on AIM Dashboard seem to be less and less important each day. Today: "True Meaning Behind 8/8/08," "Clay Aiken is a Daddy," and other pointless tidbits.
What about some actual news? Something about Caylee? Maybe some politics? Even the Olympics? I realize that AIM's demo is high-and middle schoolers, but having some intelligent headlines on their front page might actually inform a few 13-year-olds what's going on in the real world, not just in Hollywood, and I think most would agree that that would be a good thing.
Too many teenagers idolize Hollywood superstars, and I think if some websites aimed at teens occasionally raised their news up a notch, some teens might actually read it and become more interested in the world around them.
