Man, I guess I needed some sleep...

I just woke up. I went to sleep about 12Noon Yesterday.
What is that? 15 Hours, or something?

I must be depressed again and just don't know it. I think
I need to get away and do some traveling. I want to go
visit Aaron in Thailand. I also want to go back to
London and Paris.

Ahh, Paris and French Fries!

Grand Forks, N.D. residents here have gobbled up a
new record for the largest single serving of french
fries. An estimated 4,518 pounds of french fries were
consumed during the annual french fry feeding frenzy.

The event is held during "Potato Bowl U.S.A" week,
which recognizes the potato industry in the Red River
Valley.

Couch potato, Suresh Joachim broke the Guinness world
record for the longest time spent watching TV. He
finished with 69 hours and 48 minutes.

A man thought he might get a protection order lifted
by secretly videotaping himself having sex with the
woman he was told to leave alone. He was wrong, police
said.

Justin W. Fraase, 26, gave the video to an officer,
expecting it to show the woman didn't fear him.
Instead, the tape revealed more than enough evidence
for his arrest.

"He obviously didn't watch it before he gave it to
us," Lt. Tod Dahle said. Fraase was charged with
sexually assaulting the woman two days earlier in his
apartment.

A woman, who has two children with Fraase, said he
called her over to his home to discuss the custody of
their kids.

When she arrived, he cornered her and wouldn't let her
call for help until she had sex with him, she told
police. Afterward, Fraase showed her a camcorder and
told her he had taped them.

The video, which is 30 to 40 minutes long, includes
audio of the woman's struggle and makes it clear she
didn't want the sex.

"He provides us the videotape and doesn't realize that
there's all this evidence on there that ends up
putting him in jail on all these felony charges,"
Dahle said. "So basically he arrested himself."

Schwarzenegger is going to run for Re-Election.

Governor Schwarzenegger is calling on the federal
government to help prepare California against New
Orleans type flooding.

The governor wants $90 million in federal aid to make
improvements to California levees. In June 2004, a
levee broke near Stockton.

The governor says studies show California's levees
have a 100 year level of protection.

The levees that broke in New Orleans had a 250 year
level of protection.

Experts say if California levees were to break,
thousands of acres of farm land would be destroyed and
millions in the Valley would be without clean drinking
water.

And what States would come to our rescue? America
hates California!

And California hates Fresno!

Amber Frey was in a North Valley courtroom in a battle
over her daughter's paternity.

It turns out the man who was told he was the father of
Frey's oldest child is not.

Anthony Flores was in a Madera County court to stop
child support payments to Frey. A judge agreed.

The ruling comes after a recent DNA test shows Flores
is not the father of Frey's child.

"They are going to be stopping all collection
proceedings for child support that have been going on
for the last few years and lifting the stay on his
driver's license which has hindered his work," said
Flores' attorney, Glenn R. Wilson.

"That's four years of my life thinking I was the
father of Ayainna ... and Amber made it very difficult
during the whole time to have any kind of relationship
or visitation," said Flores.

Man, is that chick trouble for guys or what?

Thanks to Aaron for this cool info!

Did you hear about this? I'm thinking of heading
down to see the props and stuff.
