We're Doomed

For the first time the war in Iraq has touched me, albeit in a small way. The American that has most recently been taken hostage and seen on a video pleading for his life is from LaPorte, IN (about a 20-30 minute drive from here). He just happens to be the president of a company that my company has done business with. I have actually been at that company and had a meeting with some "top dog" sort of guys. I don't know if he was in that meeting or not (it was almost a year ago, and I didn't know at the time that he was going to be kidnapped in Iraq so I didn't pay attention), but it's still weird. Everybody say a prayer for him...you'd like to think that he will be fine, but at the same time history has shown that Americans taken hostage over there do not fair very well.

As I sit here thinking upon recent events - 1) A guy that I might possibly have met got kidnapped and just might get beheaded in Iraq 2) The Pope died 3) Brittany Spears is pregnant and 4) Anthony Federov did not get voted off of American Idol last night - I have reached a very startling conclusion. The Apocalypse is upon us. Everybody better get to confession pronto.
