LA Times – 2 men freed in L.A. girl’s killing Police say the gunmen were firing in self-defense at a rival gang member when the girl, 9, was hit by a stray bullet that entered her Angelino Heights home. A few days after a bullet from a gang shooting tore into an Angelino Heights home last month, killing a 9-year-old girl, police announced with much fanfare that they had arrested the two gunmen.

My wake up call is 5:15 a.m. My back up wake up call is 5:30 a.m. Must leave the house by 5:45 a.m. I’m dead tired.

With any luck, kiddies, I will relocate the Den over to OakMonster.com over this LONG weekend. Yes, we have MLK Day off. I’m sorry if I’m gloating. I used to not have it off, and now that I do, I take a little pleasure in rubbing it into folks who don’t. Hehee. Telling you, man. I *AM* evil. With the move on the way, you may see the lack of updates and perhaps even odd things at this joint. And when you peek at OakMonster.com, you may see different thing everyday. In the meantime, I’ll keep the new adventure over...

I was just minding my own business, going through my daily blog reading list, and then *BAWHAM*, KorBua tagged me. Because she’s like a twin sister I never had–and seriously, we shared the same birthday, 9 years apart–I must oblige. 6 WEIRD THINGS ABOUT ME THE RULES: Each player of this game starts with the ‘6 weird things about you.’ People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 6 weird things as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. Don’t forget...
