Eye for an Eye

I am so disappointed in the recent turn of events that is happening in our society. Especially, here in Nola the crimes that are occurring on a daily basis is out if control. And it’s not just here but, it’s everywhere. What the hell is wrong with these low life’s running amuck, shootings, killings, theft, and rape. A local chef was held at gunpoint, when asked for cash he was shot 3 times and left for dead. We have police officers milking the system out of money, raping individuals ( man, woman, and child ), basically breaking the law and getting away with it. Random killings happening because the accused are supposably mentally incompetent. There are mothers and fathers killing their children and loved ones. For unknown reasons or whatever it maybe, how is it that these people are not suffering the consequences. I am outraged because why aren’t there more people done with these criminals ruining lives, when will it end.  Where is the justice in these crimes, how is it that we have this so-called judicial system and these criminals are not paying the price. I used to think our laws were here to help and protect those in need but just the opposite its helping those criminals go free. We as a society need to stand together and make a change and make a difference. We need to stand tall and show that these crimes will not be tolerated. Maybe my views and opinions differ from most, but I believe an “eye for an eye”. Why should the good suffer because of the bad. I feel strongly that if you commit a crime: ex.)  kill someone, and go to prison, you should be held accountable for your actions, serve the fullest and maximum time allowed. You turned your life around, well good for you, but you killed someone, you took someone’s life away, so you deserve to not have a life. Prisoners want Internet, email, candy, mail, and t.v., I call bullshit, why should you have any type of life’s necessities. You did the crime so you deserve to do the time! All of it!

It's the End of the World as We Know it...

So here it is May 21, 2011, the acclaimed end of the world, the day of Judgement, are you ready, are you saved and have accepted Jesus in your life and forgiven you of your sins. These are the headlines in the media, Facebook, and Twitter. Ok, no more BS – here is the quick and short of what you need to know about the May 21st Judgement Day now. “You want to know how we will know when Jesus returns to Earth for the Second Coming and why? Well, quite simply, Jesus will save those who truly believe in God, while shunning those who have ignored his love. These people will be saved on May 21st 2011 in the Rapture, where they are brought to Heaven from Earth in an instant by Jesus himself. Those left behind will suffer the torment of the Apocalypse for 5 long months until the End of the World on October 21, 2011″. So with all that said do you believe, and if so how would you want to spend your last day on this Earth. Would you go out with a BANG, or simply with the ones you love. It really is a gorgeous day here in Nola, a few clouds, but the sun is out. How do we know that today is the day or that on October 21, 2011 is the real date to plan the rest of our lives… The way I see it you should live everyday as it is the end. Live your life the way it would truly make you happy. Be with ones who can make you happy and smile, do the things in your life that make difference. I can say if this was the end that I don’t have a lot of regrets.
I mean I loved in my life, I was married, I have traveled within the U.S. ( I have wanted to travel abroad to Europe, Asia, everywhere ), I set my goals in my career and accomplished so much. I have met some pretty incredible people that have touched my life, but I do wish the one thing I missed out on was to have a child and be a mother. You can achieve many things if you put your mind to it, but this was one thing I could not. So if today is the day, well at least I’m with my family hanging out, watched a few Sex &the City episodes, went shopping, I baked, and now relaxing. So take me world let it end today because I can say if “it’s the end of the world as we know it, I can say no regrets…..”

Beggars can't be Choosers

As I am traveling my way to work this morning, I stop to fuel my car and I notice that a slightly older woman is asking several people for spare change. I drive to the other side of the gas station, to which she follows around and asks “can you spare any extra change”… to my reply,was ” NO, i’m sorry”. As, I return to the pump from paying the cashier, she attempted again to ask me and another person at the pump for “spare change”. When the other person and myself both declined her request for “spare change” she had the gall to insult us. I mean how is it that I have a job, fairly new car, bills, as does everyone else, that I apologized for not having any extra change in my pocket, to have this woman insulted me. Correct me if I am wrong but, I am not the beggar for “spare change” at the gas station in the early morning hours. Because I am on my way to my job that supports my cost of living and enjoy the pleasures of life that I can afford. So excuse me for not having a heavy heart for you, poor woman, get a job make an honest living instead of begging for spare change. Beggars can’t be Choosers!

Scandalous

I remember when I was a child growing up that you didn’t have the scandalous reports on cheating, affairs, and sexting being reported 24/7. How is that not to far ago our parents were happier, people believed in love and marriage. Now who is to say that love and marriage last a lifetime, I mean we are lucky to make it to 10 years. I remember when the 25 years of marriage was the Silver Wedding Anniversary. Now you’re lucky to make it ten years, that shouldn’t even be a Silver anniversary in this day and age, but it is. How is it that the Jesse James, The Arnold, Tiger Woods, Dave Letterman, and Eliot Splitzer (the list can go on forever) are public figures can justify these affairs, hookers, secret love child, with a slap on the wrist. Where is the remorse and not just for the viewers eyes, but the real true remorse for hurting their wives, children, and significant others. The media goes overboard but I too, am at fault by reading these headlines, to glorify their horrible actions, demeans the nature of faithfulness. Just because you fall in love and decide to marry, doesn’t mean it’s just for a few years until you grow tired from it for you to stray away. Marriage is a commitment between two people, the vows of matrimony : “ promise to be true, in good times and in bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, will love and honor, all the days of my life“. Wake up and take responsibility for your actions, we deserve honor and respect, not deceit and lies. Can we move forward to regaining control of our hearts and live from until death do us part.
