Beer, Wings and the Betterment of Society
I've said it many times and I'll say it again: People never cease to amaze me.
Usually when I've said that I've meant that someone has done something to enhance my opinion that today's society is chopped, screwed and is heading straight down the long train track to Hell. But there are people out there who amaze me in good ways, who show me that there are indeed great people out there who want to better society rather than further mess it up or even leave it as it is.
It's refreshing.
The latest person that I can add to this list: Jamie K. I only met Jamie about a week ago but I feel like I've known her for years (wow, the cliche's are starting early this morning! HA!). She's 21, a single mom and in school to become a Licensed Mental Health Councelor. That's right, basically a shrink... hmm... maybe I should keep her around. Not only so I can receive free mental help (God knows I could use it!) but because she's actually trying to make society better than how she found it! Wow... whoda thunk it?
We need more Jamies in this world.
Of course, the fact that she and I agree on many things like politics, family values, beer... that helps out as well!
So crak open an ice cold, uh, Killians, Jamie K.! Unlike how most people seem to be these days, she's not a part of the problem, rather she's trying to be a part of the solution.
That's refreshing... kindda like a Killians and wings. :-)

To Mandie: I beg to differ, Ma'm, with your asessment of that fine Killian's brew. In the opinion of this poor and humble man from below the Mason-Dixon Line, it is one of the finest brews to ever fill a beer mug. Jonathan and myself have had the pleasure of indulging in many of the fine Killian's brews, and I hope that you can somehow find it within your nature to revisit your opinion of this wonderful lager from the Irish beer artisans!

I have to agree with Mandie about the Killians thing, never been much of a beer drinker, any kind of beer. But what Jonathan said about Jamie is right on the money. She is an absolutely wonderful person, we dive into political discussions from time to time and more often than not, we agree. I can't wait to see how the world will be a better place because of her. I love you Jamie.
