Wasted Years

When I hear about things like this, my death penalty support skyrockets.

After putting Jada to bed on June 12, Castillo and Tkachik snorted several lines of heroin before they went to sleep, the affidavit said.

About 11 a.m. the following morning, Castillo woke up to check on Jada. Tkachik told investigators he saw Castillo spanking Jada and pulling her hair. Jada was not crying so, according to Tkachik, Castillo hit Jada even harder.

Tkachik told investigators that Castillo slapped Jada, causing her to fall against a table. The impact gave the toddler a small cut on her head. Castillo put Jada in her room and beat on her again, according to the affidavit.

Beating the child to death wasn't enough though. These miserable bastards then tried burning her body and ultimately encased her in concrete.

You're free to have your opinion on why execution is an inhumane punishment for murderers, but I ask you - what was humane about how these two people (one the little girl's cousin! Family!) treated Jada Justice?

They deserve to burn in hell - sooner, rather than later.

Just a little something helpful for those who need it (You know who you are):

Hi blog. How are you?

I'm still alive, thanks.

I figured I'd actually post something so I can share what I've been up to. I've been on Facebook taking lots of quizzes.

Oh, alright... I've been up to more than just that. Still editing the book. Kind of wrapped myself into a little continuity nightmare that I need to resolve. I think a downside to NaNoWriMo is all the work you have to put into your novel after the fact to make up for the willy nilly keyboard attacks that put you at or over the 50,000 word goal by the end of November. It doesn't help that some of the writing I did was while I was in full blown zombie mode.

Speaking of the novel, I'm pleased to report that I have found an artist to do the cover. We've met and discussed what I'm looking for - she's excited about the project and I'm excited to have found a professional (she does this sort of thing for a living, you see). My excitement has kicked my editing into overdrive and barring any catastrophe befalling this humble servant of the Word, I expect to be done soon - continuity nightmare be damned!

That hasn't kept me from being my usual slacker self - in a spare moment away from the novel, I played with the tag line code again. Now, if there's a quote displayed, hovering over the quote with your cursor will display the source of the quote. How's that for some wizbang interweb chicanery? Sadly, this has pleased me to no end, which means it's time for yet another new hobby.

Work has been a BIYOTCH. With summer right around the corner, it's only going to get worse. Lots of new and not a lot of time to implement it. But hey - at least it never gets boring.

I leave you with a question - with GM's bankruptcy and the government becoming a 60% shareholder, how does it feel to own a part of the auto manufacturing industry?
