i'm being followed by a moonshadow.

I have finished my work for the day. One hour and 30 minutes before schedule.

Now I MUST RANT:

About this kid. In a balloon that resembles an old-fashioned popcorn popper. First and foremost, I laughed a good two minutes while reading the story on CNN.com. The fact that this occurred is, indeed, laughable.

A kid named Falcon somehow gets into an unlocked homemade air balloon, and then rises up into the air, reaching 7,000 feet, and flies over farmland? Isn't there a book about this sort of thing already? Let's not attempt to make a homemade movie now!

I have no sympathy for this family, whatsoever. Call me heartless, callous and absolutely soulless.

I hope this kid is in his parents' basement, quietly crying or laughing - or that the whole thing is some mental media hoax set by the parents. I hope that tyke never set foot in the balloon. I hope his parents get verbally smacked in their heads a few times by the media and by their neighbors. However, neighbors might be hard to come by as these characters already live in a remote part of Colorado. Perhaps the mountain air impaired their parent-raising capabilities?

In other news, Bill Cosby is releasing a hip-hop album.
Lady Gaga will tour with Kid Cudi.
I plan on being Joan Jett for Halloween.

And, scene.
