I just want to take this time out to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped me try to get my 15K likes on Father's Day. I never would have even gotten close without all your help!! I have been blown away by all the help and support I have gotten these past few months. I have met some amazing people and I wonder, why didn't we start talking before now? HAHA Even with the support of sending me an instant message or text telling me to get off my ass n work it so I can get those likes. Means so much to me.

Dispite dealing with a 30 hour migraine, my head pressure getting to high for me and having to miss out on really running for my 15K for the first 8 hours was a huge blow to the run. I also never took into concideration that I got all those HHs on Father's Day. Face-palm D'OH! When I was booking them, I didnt know it was a holiday so I know and understand that also didn't work in my favor. I also need to apologize to a few people that I forgot about in the early stages of my run. Things were hectic with migraines and not being able to look at a screen for several hours

 

I am going to take a step back and just work on doing famp run buyins for others and helping other people level. I will try to attempt this silly 15K run again at another time. I just had so many people helping me that I am so greatly thankful. 

 


Lyrics to the song Ive dedicated to Opa.. I Was Here by Beyoncé

"I Was Here"

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that, meant something that I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember, so they won't forget

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here

I want to say I lived each day, until I died
And know that I meant something in, somebody's life
The hearts I have touched, will be the proof that I leave
That I made a difference, and this world will see

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here

I just want them to know
That I gave my all, did my best
Brought someone some happiness
Left this world a little better just because

I was here

I was here
I lived, I loved
I was here
I did, I've done everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I wanna leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here
I lived (I lived), I loved
I was here
I did (I did), I've done
I was here
I lived (I lived), I loved (I loved)
I was here (oh)
I did, I've done

I was here

RIP Opa &  RIP to everyone who has lost someone so extremely close

This shit is so true for me right now.. If I were a boy Even just for a day Id roll out of bed in the morning And throw on what I wanted and go Drink beer with the guys And chase after girls Id kick with who I wanted And I'd never get confonted for it Cause theyd stick up for me. [Chorus] If I were a boy I think I could understand How it feels to love a girl I swear Id be a better man. Id listen to her Cause I know how it hurts When you lose the one you wanted Cause hes taken you for granted And everything you had got destroyed [ Find more Lyrics at www.mp3lyrics.org/Mj4o ] If I were a boy I would just turn off my phone Tell everyone it's broken So they think that I was sleeping alone Id put myself first And make the rules as I go Cause I know that shed be faithful Waitin for me to come home [Chorus] Its a little too late for you to come back Say it's just a mistake Think Id forgive you like that If you thought I would wait for you You thought wrong But youre just a boy You dont understand (Yeah you dont understand) How it feels to love a girl Someday you wish you were a better man You dont listen to her You dont care how it hurts Until you lose the one you wanted Cause youve taken her for granted And everything you had got destroyed But youre just a boy Beyoncé - If I Were A Boy watch the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c0wqoj3lEM

So.. this is another no no blog that Ive decided to write.. My view on Capital Punishment.. I think it needs to be used more often.. And other means should be used. Hell lets bring back beheadings, public floggings, burning at the stake, and so on.. if these fuckers could do these horrible crimes against other human beings and not feel remorse for them, then yes these bastards deserve to die.. Im tired of people saying that oh well they shouldnt die because of human rights.. well what about the victims?? If you want to view the Texas Department of Criminal Justice page go to this link: http://tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/deathrow.htm My good friend Candace showed me that page one cuz she works in a Probabtion Office and two, she used to work in a corrections facility. We both agree that capital punishment should be used alot more often than what it is. Hell Texas had an execution last night!! GO TEXAS!! For those of u who dont understand what captial punishment is here is the defenition for you! US Supreme Court: Capital Punishment Penalizes those convicted of certain classes of crimes by killing them. While many societies practice capital punishment, most developed countries had abolished death sentencing by 2003. The European Union mandates, and international covenants favor, abolition of this practice. Although outlawed in some states, in 2003 capital punishment was legal in thirty‐eight states, the federal government, and the U.S. military. The word capital comes directly from the Latin capitalis, “of the head.” Across human history, beheading has probably been the most frequent mode of dispatch. Sanctioned methods of execution in the United States have included death by electrocution, poison gas, hanging, and firing squad. Concern regarding their cruelty has led to lethal injection as the preferred method. Historical interpretations of the Constitution support capital punishment's legality. The Eighth Amendment, applied to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment, prohibits inflicting cruel and unusual punishments, but no Supreme Court majority has interpreted that phrase to prohibit all forms of capital punishment in all circumstances. The phrase “cruel and unusual” historically referred to punishments that were far more serious than the offense involved, to torture, and to forms of execution that prolonged the pain of dying. Further, the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments implicitly sanction capital punishment by stating that one cannot “be deprived of life … without due process of law.” However, interpretive approaches that stress the evolving character of constitutional norms have enabled the Supreme Court to address the complex moral and empirical questions associated with capital punishment. Since Furman v. Georgia (1972), which nullified all death sentences imposed without statutory guidelines, critics of the death penalty have attacked it on several fronts. First, it is hypocritical to punish heinous crimes by means of a heinous crime—the deliberate taking of another human life. Second, research does not confirm the claim that capital punishment is an effective general deterrent. Third, once inflicted, the death penalty's irreversibility prevents correcting those instances in which the criminal justice system convicts the wrong person. Over one hundred persons have been freed from America's death rows on grounds of innocence since the mid‐1970s, demonstrating the system has indeed been convicting innocents, and suggesting it may be executing them as well. Though the Court has required a greater degree of reliability in these cases, legislators and governors are increasingly moving beyond the Constitution's minimum protections to assure against mistake. When Illinois had sent thirteen innocents to death row, the risk of mistaken execution led then‐Governor George Ryan to announce a moratorium on executions in 2000 and to eventually commute the death sentences of all those on the Illinois death row in 2003. The state legislature followed, enacting reforms. A moratorium movement has made strides around the country, prompting study commissions focusing not only on the perceived unreliability of the process, but also on concerns about arbitrariness, discrimination, and the comparative cost of the death penalty as opposed to life imprisonment. In speaking engagements, some Supreme Court justices have echoed a number of these concerns. Fourth, administration of capital punishment in law and practice is inconsistent with retributive theories of punishment. Fifth, data on those who receive the death penalty show that the criminal justice system does not apply it in proportion to the seriousness of the crime. Rather, it appears to be imposed on a randomly selected subset of those convicted of capital offenses, often the poor. Prosecutorial discretion in charging and the discretionary practice of plea bargaining virtually assure this randomness. As this randomness suggests, no definitive study has isolated a strong racial bias in death sentencing. However, aggregate data convincingly show that the death penalty is more frequently imposed on those who victimize whites than those who victimize blacks. Sixth, as a class, paroled murderers show lower recidivism rates for their crimes than do most classes of felons. There is no evidence that the death penalty, as opposed to long‐term imprisonment, is an effective specific deterrent. Murderers on death row are more likely to engage in violent crimes within prison than are those serving life terms. On the other hand, sociological theory, at least since Émile Durkheim, has posited that setting absolute outer limits on deviance is a necessary component of group identification and survival. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote, in The Common Law (1881), “The first requirement of a sound body of law is that it should correspond with the actual feelings and demands of the community, whether right or wrong” (1938 ed., p. 41). Public opinion supporting the death sentence appears strong, at 74 percent in 2003. However, when life imprisonment with absolutely no possibility of parole is considered as the alternative punishment, only a slim majority (54 percent) supports death. Sentencing juries, too, increasingly choose a life without parole sentence over the death penalty. By this measure then, support for the death penalty may appear to be slipping. Supporters also urge that by some modern models of social interaction, parties must occasionally threaten to take irrational and extreme actions in order to strengthen their capacity to negotiate resolutions of conflict peacefully. Finally, they contend the precise effects of the death penalty versus less harsh punishment are impossible to measure because due process of law prohibits conducting controlled experiments. In Gregg v. Georgia (1976) the Court majority upheld death‐sentencing when the legislature created statutory standards to guide the sentencing body's discretion in a separate trial where additional evidence relevant to sentencing could be adduced. A companion case, Woodson v. North Carolina, rejected a mandatory death penalty for all capital murderers, finding the Eighth Amendment evolving standards of decency required the individualized consideration of aggravating and mitigating circumstances. Ring v. Arizona (2002) required that juries, not judges, determine the presence of the aggravating factors that made one death‐eligible, and that these factors be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Before Furman, most executions had been for murder, some for rape, and a few for kidnapping, treason, espionage, and aircraft piracy. In Coker v. Georgia (1977), the Court barred the death penalty for rape of an adult woman. Today, nearly all death sentences are imposed for homicide. Looking to ive indicators of the evolving standards of decency, the Court has reserved the death penalty for those most culpable offenders: The actual killer, or the accomplice who attempts to kill, intends to kill, or is a major participant in an accompanying felony and possesses a reckless indifference to human life, is death‐eligible (Tison v. Arizona, 1987). But the mentally retarded (Atkins v. Virginia, 2002), the insane (Ford v. Wainwright, 1986), and those under sixteen at the time of the offense (Thompson v. Oklahoma, 1988) are not. Between the Gregg decision in 1976 and 1 July 2003, there were 882 persons executed in 33 jurisdictions. Over three‐fourths of these executions occurred below the Mason‐Dixon line, led by Texas (311) and Virginia (89). The pace of executions rose sharply in the 1990s, perhaps in part as a consequence of the 1996 Anti‐Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act's trimming back of federal habeas corpus relief mechanisms. At midyear 2003, over 3,500 persons awaited execution: 98 percent male, and 54 percent of minority race. Significant decisions in 2002 and in 2003 (regarding ineffective assistance of penalty phase counsel, Wiggins v. Smith), indicate the Court majority is willing to exert controls over the development of capital punishment policies and procedures that they had largely left to state legislatures, courts, and governors. Still, since many state judges and all the others face electoral challenges, conventional political processes will continue to play a major role in shaping future death penalty polices, including possible moratorium measures.

No matter what your political convictions are this is an eyeopener....What a thankless people we are!!! David Letterman, on President Bush. (Surprising) David Letterman wrote this; it's the David we don't often see.... 'As most of you know I am not a President Bush fan, nor have I ever been, but this is not about Bush, it is about us, as Americans, and it seems to hit the mark. ' 'The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some Poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true given the source, right? The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence 2/3 of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change. So being the knuckledragger I am, I started thinking, 'What are we so unhappy about?' A. Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7Days a week? B. Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter? C. Could it be that 95. 4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job? D. Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen i n the last year? E. Maybe it is the ability to drive our cars and trucks from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state. F. Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter? G. I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough either. H. Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show upand provide services to help all and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital. I. Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. J. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of afire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family, and your belongings. K. Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss. L. This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. Neighborhoods where 90% of teenagers own cell phones and computers. M. How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world? Maybe that i s what has 67% of you folks unhappy. Fact is, we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats theworld has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S. , yet has agreat disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The mostblessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what wedon't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking thegood Lord we live here. I know, I know. What about the president who took us into war and hasno plan to get us out? The president who has a measly 31 percentapproval rating? Is this the same president who guided the nation inthe dark days after 9/11? The president that cut taxes to bring aneconomy out of recession? Could this be the same guy who has beencalled every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiledungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks? The commander in chief ofan all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me? Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Didthis news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take alook around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad? Thinkabout it......are you upset at the President because he actually causedyou personal pain OR is it because the 'Media' told you he was failingto kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day. Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan havevolunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom.There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go. They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general''discharge, an 'other than honorable'' discharge or, worst casescenario, a ''dishonorable' discharge after a few days in the brig. So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent ofAmericans? Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds it leadsand they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash withblood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at thecorner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profitcorporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defendtheir actions by 'justifying' them in one way or another. Just ask whythey tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book abouthow he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way......Insane! Turn off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being gratefulfor all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good th anbad. We are among the most blessed people on Earth and should thank Godseveral times a day, or at least be thankful and appreciative. ' 'Withhurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding,severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another,and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, 'Are we surethis is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?' -David Letterman Please keep this in circulation. There are so many people who need toread this and grasp the truth of it all.
