Not that innocent

Things I learned today:

People actually will talk about you and say you said things that you would NEVER EVER say. And chances are that you will actually see these things for yourself. This happened to me today in which I saw the proof via an email. Shocking.

Freakin' Constantine makes me like him more and more each week and I hate this. And Anwar needs to shave the mustache PRONTO. Gross.

Britney's pregnant. Surprise, surprise. Well, to give her credit, she did stop smoking due to the pregnancy. Which is actually what tipped most people off about it several weeks ago. Because really... why ELSE would Britney stop smoking? Considering she only started smoking because she felt it made her voice sound raspier and have more depth. Britney, sweetie... it would take much more than smoking to improve on your voice. It would make sense that such a stupid reason to start could lead to an equally idiotic reason to quit. Turns out she actually made a smart choice with this one. Let's hope she continues on this path, and that her baby's daddy (aka: Pimp Daddy) does the same.

I read the news online all day, and come across some really strange stories. I'll try my best to find strange stories from random sources, rather than ones that make the national news, but once in a while I will have to include stories like the following that are just too good not to talk about.

Lover who lived in closet charged with killing husband
Man spent a month among mothballs before fatal encounter, police say

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - "A man who secretly lived in a closet at the home of his married girlfriend for a month was charged Tuesday with beating her husband to death after the man discovered him sleeping in the storage area.
Nashville police spokesman Don Aaron said Rafael DeJesus Rocha-Perez of Murfreesboro, Tenn., was charged with criminal homicide in the beating death of Jeffrey A. Freeman, 44, and ordered held on $500,000 bail.
"From time to time, you come across a case with very unique - even bizarre - circumstances," Aaron said. "This one probably rates right up there with them."
Detectives said Martha Freeman allowed Rocha-Perez to live in a closet of her four-bedroom home for about a month without her husband's knowledge.
Jeffrey Freeman discovered Rocha-Perez late Sunday night when he came home and heard him snoring, police said.
Freeman told his wife he was taking a walk and instructed her to get rid of Rocha-Perez before he returned, the Nashville Tennessean reported. Instead, when he returned Rocha-Perez ordered him into a bathroom at gunpoint and beat him about the head, the newspaper said."


Now, there are so many random things about this story that confuse me. Like, how could you LIVE in a CLOSET for a month? And who is this woman that thought this would be okay and that her husband would never find out? Aren't there certain issues like using the restroom and.. I dunno.. EATING.. that might come to interfere with this type of living situation? But whatever. He lasted a month, so kudos to him, I guess. And to get caught because you were snoring. That's gotta sting. Maybe in the future when he decides to live in his married girlfriend's closet he'll invest in some Breathe Right strips or something. But there probably won't be a next time considering he'll be snoring alongside his new boyfriend Damon in the state penitentiary for the next 50 years or so. Way to go.
