Karma

I am truly a strong believer in Karma. I believe what comes around goes around, and I believe that everyone will eventually get whats coming to them. I too, probably have a few jabs coming my way, so when they come I'll be ready to buck up and take them (I will however, ensure that I don't have my glasses on, wouldn't want them to break).

I believe that "Sir Charles" or "Round Mound of Rebound" or Charles Barkley has had an interesting life. I have never had much interest in him, but of late he has irritated the shit out of me. With his black coach controversy, and now the fact that he was arrested for DUI. I know a ton of people that have gotten a DUI. I scream and yell at all of them. I could careless if you want to drive drunk because you don't care about yourself, but I care about the people that are on the roads with you (like the me's of the world). Call a cab, call a friend, or walk...just do something so that you don't put other people's lives at risk. Especially if you are a celebrity...Not only do they normally have more money then brains, they also have massive amounts of children or impressionable adolescents looking up to them. Make the right choice if not for yourself, then for the kids of today.

Remember in this country, everyone is innocent until proven guilty, so just because he was arrested last evening does not mean that he will be found guilty. He did elect not to have a breathalyzer performed on the side of the road, but did have a blood test once back at the police station. Everyone involved said it was a routine arrest. He was polite, didn't happen to spit on anyone (like he has done in the past) and he also didn't have an opinion about the color of the skin of the police officers who arrested him. Accept for that whole hand cuff part of being arrested, you would think it was an everyday normal conversation for him or anyone for that matter.

The thing I do enjoy about the entire story is that if he is found guilty, his ass gets to go Tent City which happens to be the worst jail to be an inmate. He will wear pink underwear, sleep in tents, and eat only bologna sandwiches. I absolutely love the fact that he could face the possibility of even just one night in that hell hole!

Please please please...be responsible, don't drink and drive. The price of a cab is so much cheaper than the price of a DUI or the price of some one's life. Give your keys away or better yet, leave your car and come back to get it the next day. Worst case scenario is it is stolen (yeah that is a pain in the ass), but you are at least alive and out of jail to deal with it.
