can't sleep, again.

i'm in tampa. had to order pizza and wings to eat. nothing else was open. i was in the mood for chinese. maybe tomorrow.

the news of the courthouse shooting is all over the networks and cable news channels. it's so weird. it's happening in my back yard yet i'm in another state. maybe that is a good thing.

one of the reporters was just live beside my building. i live in midtown adjacent to city hall east, which also serves as atlanta police headquarters. nothing was going on there except for the fact that is where reporters are staked out to get updates. i didn't realize it moving in but it makes me feel a bit safer knowing all those police are right beyond my window. not that i feel unsafe. or ever have.

hmmm. these families are going through hell, i'm sure. death is always painful but when it comes so abruptly and in such a ridiculous way, it has to be traumatic at its worst.

i used to live a few blocks from the courthouse and go to underground often, at least twice a month.

eerie... they just showed camera footage of the suspect walking down a stairwell where he carjacked the newspaper reporter. (i park in that same lot when i go to underground) he's just casually walking as if nothing has happened. weird.

this is weird. interesting.
