The Pregnancy Story, NKU goes D-1, the Rock & Roll HOF, & Lindsay strips down.

So I thought about writing about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and how they inducted their 2012 class which included the Beastie Boys, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Guns n' Roses.  They are all somewhat deserving but there are more deserving bands that are not in like Black Sabbath, Rush and one of my favorite bands, Heart.  What more do you have to do besides have hits in every decade spanning back to the 70's which includes Barracuda, Crazy on You, Alone, These Dreams, and What About Love?  I was reading on Wikipedia that some article written suggested that Ann and Nancy Wilson, the two main parts of the band and sisters, were secret lesbian lovers.  That is just ludicrous to believe.  It inspired Ann to write the song, Barracuda, which made it all the way to #11 on the charts.  Anyway I am not going to write about this.

I could write about my alma-mater, NKU and how they have finally been accepted into a Division 1 conference.  Why can't we think of a better term to use than alma-mater?  It's not even English.  We should create some other word that means 'school one graduates from' because that matta - mater debate always gets to me and I never know which to say.  Anyway they got accepted into the Atlantic Sun conference where they will have one of the largest arenas and rank third in the conference in enrollment.  They beat West Virginia this preseason so it was about time to play with the big boys.  I can't wait until a few years down the road when they face the Wildcats in the first round of the NCAA tournament.  Here's the article. I'm not going to write about that either.

Here's what I'm going to write about...today waiting at the bus stop, I looked down and there, on the ground was an EPT wrapper.  For those of you who are still clueless, and EPT wrapper means pregnancy test.  It got me to thinking this girl who threw this out must have a story.  Maybe it was a prostitute making sure she wasn't knocked up.  Maybe it was someone who was raped, scared to tell anyone her story.  But here's the story I think is most likely closest to reality:


Carrie, an average looking 15-year-old sophomore in high school, planned on waiting until marriage.  Guys never really went up to her to ask her to hang out, and all she wanted was to be noticed.  The previous summer, she started a diet and lost 15 pounds.  She developed breasts and got a job at a local Arby's.  She was able to shop at the American Eagles and Victoria's Secrets of the world.  Her first day of her sophomore year, yeah the boys noticed.  They looked twice.  Colin, a star full-back for the 1st place Mustangs, really noticed.  


He'd joke with his buddies, "Wow, what happened to Carrie? She got hot.  I'm gonna hit that before this year's over."  Colin went old school.  He wrote a note which read, 


Hey Carrie,


I know you aren't the party type, but if you come watch me in my game this Friday against those losers over from Lyle County, Mike's having a little get together over at his parents' place.  They buy us alcohol and everything but you don't have to drink if you don't want to.  I'd just love to see you there.  It will be a big celebration because I know we're going to win!


Love,

Colin 


Colin was slick.  He stuffed the note through one of those little vents in her locker.  When Carrie opened the locker, the note floated to the ground.  She picked up, folded in the paper football shape, and looked left and right to see if anyone was playing a cruel joke.  Carrie slowly unfolded the note and mumbled it to herself.  A big smile whipped across her face.  


"So are you going to go?" Colin whispered as the two sat next to each other in class.  


Carrie looked at Colin in a shy way and asked, "Why me?"


Colin fed her the line that it was because she was the only girl he notices and she is gorgeous and all that jazz.  As he was saying these things, Carrie felt as if she was floating.  


(Stay tuned for tomorrow's blog for more of the story)


Winner of the Day: Lindsay Lohan.  She has managed to find someone to still employ her.  She was offered a clean million to pose for Playboy.  Her issue will be out in December.  The article.  Good for you Lindsay.  I'm sure Herbie the Love Bug is proud.  I'm glad she stayed on bail long enough to take the pictures.

Loser of the Day: Rachelle Grimmer.  She pulled a gun on her two children and her welfare officer after being denied food stamps.  The story though is this:  her daughter posted a few things on facebook while the ordeal took place... Her first post said, "May die 2day."  The other posts are listed in the article.  The girl was later shot by her mother critically wounding her before Rachelle took her own life.
