Cannibals...????

So now we have people snapping the hell out and not just killing people, but eating them afterward.   What the entire fire burning hell is that all about?

What do you say about someone who eats off someone's face?  What do you say about someone who kills someone and then eats their brain and other body parts?  What can you say about someone who videos themselves killing someone, then chops the person up and starts mailing their body parts all around
Canada?

With the face eating guy, it was supposedly bath salts.  I know they sniff or swallow it to get high, but now I don't even wanna put it in my bathwater.  Bubble bath anyone?  Damn.  Then the guy in MD that at his roommate's brain after killing him, then dismembered him and hid body parts in the house for his dad and brother to find...no one knows what the hell was wrong with him.  Aside from his nutty Facebook posts about death cults and the decline of black people, no one really knows why he flipped out.  Then the guy in Canada mailing arms and isht, this guy was apparently making a snuff film.

This is some sick isht right here.  Clearly some people will get high on ANYTHING, regardless of what it is.  Just sick.  All I got.

Update on school

Soooo...today was officially my first day of school.  It was supposed to be yesterday but I had to start today due to some technical difficulties.  I spent hours in the online campus learning my way around and I actually got three homework assignments done.  I had to make myself stop because I still have to log in and participate four times a week.  Since I only have one really easy assignment to do, I figure I'll knock it out tomorrow and submit it another day.  But I'm still excited.  I'm still determined to get this degree too!

I have three weeks of orientation and then the real stuff starts on June 25.  I'm looking forward to the new things I'm going to learn and maybe even some of my classmates as well.  Interested to see what they're like...the ones in my orientation seem to have sense for the most part so that's good.  Might be kinda boring though...but oh well, it is only three weeks.  Hopefully someone will provide some entertainment either way!

Miss Unpopular

Yep.  That's what you're probably going to be calling me really soon.  Why?

I've noticed over the last few years that doing the right thing, telling the truth about things and being in general honest and not fake, has become extremely unpopular.  Everyone wants their hands held, regardless of the fact that they act like idiots.  People want to continue to be wrong and live in and enjoy their wrong-ness but they don't want to be told they're wrong.  And these same clowns go around demanding respect from everyone else like the world owes them something.

I'm so over it.

Y'all know I've never been one to hold my tongue for much but believe it or not, there are a lot of things burning in me that I've held my tongue on in the past.  That's about to change.

I'm done caring what people think about what I think.  I'm sick of people feeling like they can't speak the truth about certain things without fear of being silenced by people who are offended by the truth that's being spoken.  A truth that while ugly, needs to be told nonetheless. 

You might not like me for it, but I'm done caring whether you do or not. 

Houston Family Chronicles

Yep.  Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, who made money off Whitney Houston when she was alive has signed up for a reality show so that they can keep making money off of her now that she's dead.  They're using the whole "Oh we were going to do it anyway, this was in the works BEFORE Whitney died..." excuse. 

Right.

Every single member of that family has been talking to the media NON STOP since she died and not one of them mentioned anything about a reality show having been in the works at the time of her death.  Do you REALLY think they would have missed the chance to bring that up?  Not with all the media whoring they've been doing.  The reasons for Whitney's problems are becoming more clear the more these people run their mouths.  No wonder she had so many issues.  Seems like she's better off where she is now.  Yeah, I said it.  Am I that far off base?

Headlines - Hudson family murder trial, Balfour found guilty on all counts

William Balfour was found guilty of being a complete madman.  What he did was so despicable that I really don't even want to repeat it, especially what he did to the baby.  But I've always been a big fan of Jennifer Hudson's and my heart broke for her when all this happened.  I pray that she and her sister stick together, stay strong and live their lives with happy memories of their loved ones.  I pray especially for Julia, I can't imagine she hasn't felt any guilt behind this horrible thing that someone else did because she married him.  But who thinks of the unthinkable?  I pray she for no reason blames herself.  This probably isn't the end of it because he can probably try to appeal, but it had to be a HUGE relief.  Jennifer and Julia have handled the whole thing with a lot of class publicly...so well, in fact, it would be hard to imagine that it's any different privately.


I continue to admire these ladies for how well they've been able to navigate the media circus that's surrounded this from the beginning.  The Houston family could really learn something from these two ladies.  Go ahead, read the next post and tell me I'm wrong.

Headlines - The Bain girls are home.

This week two little girls were reunited with their father after days of being held by a maniac with a gun who deprived them of food, water and shelter for three days.  This after strangling their mother and sister to death, with help from TWO female family members and God knows who else.  Rather than face justice for his unspeakable crimes, he decided to further traumatize two innocent girls by shooting himself in the head right in front of them as the police closed in on them in the woods where he'd been hiding them.

I don't think there's anyone who isn't grateful that these little girls are alive and physically ok, despite probably dehydration, poison oak, and maybe some malnutrition.  I'm sure we're all hoping these little girls are able to help the police with their investigation and that they're able to heal and live lives as close to normal as possible.  What I'd love to see is them hooking up with Elizabeth Smart or Jaycee Dugard or both of them.  I'm sure these little girls would benefit immensely from speaking with either of these women who have endured tragedies similar to theirs, I just think that the courage these young ladies have displayed would help a lot in this situation.  Either way, may God keep His hand on Alexandria, Kyliyah and their family.  There are very difficult days ahead.  But if God be for them...

What's new with school

I start orientation on the 28th of this month and my classes start at the end of June!  I think we're waiting on one more procedural thing and then I'm all set so I'm excited to get started.  Now I have to work on doing some math refreshers, this'll be fun.  I don't suck at math, I actually like it and majored in Accounting when I went to school before...but at no point have algorithms been involved in my studies.  I hope I get that out of the way soon so I can put more work into it before I go back to work full time.  I'm looking for a part time job somewhere for now so I can focus more on school for the first few months, at least.  

My internet connection with Sprint is garbage so I'm going to have to end up getting cable internet.  Because Cox is all we have here in Hampton and they're a bunch of rip-off artists, it will be cheaper for me to get both web and TV because I'd be paying close to $100 per month for one or the other or both.  Whatever.  I'm going hard with school so TV will probably be a very infrequent luxury.  Til September, when it becomes a necessity, particularly on Sundays!  But anyway, as cheap as I am, I don't like the idea of having another bill because the internet I've already had for years with Sprint isn't even sufficient to complete a freakin' federal student loan application.  I had to go to the library to finish it.  Smh...can't believe I had to sell that crap to people.  Anyway...

You should see the list of software that I have to have, it's ridiculous.  Good thing I'm filing all this stuff on my taxes next year, who knows how many hundreds I'm going to end up having to spend.  It'll certainly be worth it, yes I know, but dang.  I kinda wanted to get something for myself this year.  Hell, a hairbow, something.  Til then I'm just getting excited about starting a new chapter...essays, homework and all.  Hitting the lottery wouldn't hurt in the mean time.  This ain't gonna be cheap.  But my education is priceless!
