Tell Florida Lawmakers: No More Wrongful Convictions

Full Story

SOOO!!! This hits home hard for me!! I usually do not like talking politics or issues that deal with the government. But, and that is a big but lol. This issue happens to be occurring back home and I have major issues with the policies that deal with convictions of any kind. At an early age, I realized that the governments policy of innocence until proven guilty, is a crock and load of dirty laundry which will not be cleaned. Someone very close to me was taken to jail wrongfully and the "Police" had no proof of her guilt. Yet, she was still detained, most likely because she was a poor hispanic woman with no power or voice, according to the majority of society. To make matters worse, now get this, she was taken to jail for a busted tail light, no seat belt and a warrant for her arrest due to bad checks. Ok, fine, go straight to jail, do not pass go but no bail!!!! How can murderers, like the young man that admitted to shooting my cousin, I mean admitted to his crime; how can a murderer get bail and a poor desperate young hispanic woman not get bail for bad checks, a busted tail light and no seat belt? REALLYYY???? I can not begin to emphasize how ass backwards that is and how much our system is a lie!!! Needless to say my cousins murderer was bailed out within 24 hours. While my beloved hispanic woman which committed a misdemeanor was stuck in jail for the weekend with no bail! Lets rewind, my cousin was a hispanic young man, which the police viewed as just another hispanic gangster. What the police did not know, is that my cousin was not a gangster and was a very smart and caring hispanic male with plenty of potential. Yet, the police saw it as another non-important spanish male, that would have caused havoc. They allowed his murderer to walk for doing the police a favor of getting rid of the garbage. The murderer fleed the country and the police had him in custody with a full blown voluntary confession of the murder!!!! How did this kid get bail and get away?? Back to the innocent woman in jail waiting for courts to open Tuesday, it was a long weekend, just our luck. YES, innocent!! Turns out the warrant was not for her, it just so happened they had the same names and ethnicity. So, in jail for four days, no bail for a busted tail light, no seat belt and a wrongful accusation of writing bad checks. The police did not bother to check, they saw a hispanic woman and assumed. What happens when the system makes a mistake? What happens when your rights are violated and you are put in jail and held guilty until proven innocent, not the other way around? What happens when you realize you are not protected if you are a minor? People who murder minors flee and get bail and your innocent self goes to jail for a misdemeanor you did not commit, with no bail. I have written that several times to make you all realize how wrong that is on so many different levels!!! I can not begin to express my anger but that will get me no where. What will get me somewhere is reaching to the masses, especially minors, to take stand and voice your rights of innocence until proven guilty!!! Because, lets face it we are the ones that get picked on. Additionally, lets take stand and stop being afraid because that is what gives them power. They feed off fear. When they are wrong we have to prosecute them, the way they do to us on a daily basis. We can not continue to allow the government to make immense detrimental mistakes and just give them a slap on the wrists. We are talking about people's lives here! Who is responsible for that? I say the people that put us in jail wrongfully and detain us and then the people who judge and make the decisions to kill us! Who are they? Who are they, that they can make mistakes and ruin peoples lives and families because they think they have the power!!! STAND UP!!!! Speak up and use the system's policy to your advantage! YOU ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY! NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND! NOTE TO ALL POLICE, DO YOUR WORK!!! THAT IS WHAT WE PAY FOR YOU!!!!

Always Peace N Love,

Letting go and moving forward!

HOLA!!! So, we all know that in life there are "curve balls" as we call it or "bumps in the road" or just some real dark "when it pours it rains" kind of moments. I hope we all know that all of these experiences are a growth opportunity. Even though they are negative experiences, if you are seeing clearly there is something to learn and grow from it. Aspire to see clearly as difficult as that may be when you are in the middle of a battle. If you truly believe that negative experiences always become positive outcomes, life will be a bit more blissful. I have been living by this motto since I was 11 when I lost my grandfather, I took hold of it at an early age but it did not come easily. At times, when the situations are so harsh you enable the unclear. You bring forth the worst in yourself and allow the situation to take over. Take yourself out of the picture and look at it as an onlooker, try not to get tangled in it. I know it is harder said then done but I am currently doing it myself. I know that this is a skill I want to sharpen because life will always have curve balls. Learn from your situation, analyze, grow, take it with you to add to your wisdom and evaluate everything else around you at that moment. Simply because, while you are going through your abhorrent issue you might miss out on something really amazing that has come out of your issue. You may just lose that good offer and miss it, if you are all caught up in the midst of darkness and allow detrimental feelings to drive you. The universe is a tricky yet beautiful prized possession. It does work in mysterious ways but the mystery is for you to figure out and it may not reveal itself right away. Stay positive and clear, allow yourself to let it go for the moment, move forward and continue. One day, you will encounter something that will force you to go into your dark files and realize why you went through that predicament. It will all clear up somehow someway someday!

Indifferent

Do you ever wake up scared? Just didn't sleep right, tossed and turned all night and then all of the sudden wake up in a jolt and your terrified. I was told a couple of weeks ago in acting class, which also happens to be a life class, that the opposite of love is not hate - it's indifferent. It makes sense, Love and Hate are actually very close, hence the phrase there is a thin line between love and hate. I have experienced both. I have loved and hated. Yet, my genuine love has only been between my parents and I and my dog lol. When you truly begin to love someone that could be your mate and allow them to love you, it feels great. I have been told of true love, soul mates, blah blah... I never believed in it. I have always had a wall up protecting myself from this thing called love. Actually, indifferent was really my way of being. When you are indifferent you don't allow yourself to feel, you can't possibly be scared because there is nothing to be scared of and you can't get hurt because you don't allow yourself to love. It is the safe way of living. When you love it hurts, even when things are perfect and thats something I can't explain. Love is inexplainable. You allow yourself to be vulnerable and that is the scary part. Love is living and embracing the moment and hoping it never ends but thinking of all the wonderful possibilities for the future. When you truly love, unconditionally, and do not expect anything back, it is a part of you that you may only know and feel once. When you find that person and love in that manner it is real and never changing. Now, there is all kinds of love - conditional, physical, intellectual, lust, love at first sight, one night love and I could go on and on. Yet, when you unconditionally love someone, you know it and you will know you can only see yourself doing it for that one person. You see eye to eye on that love and you embrace it with fear because like I said, it is not something that happens everyday and some never even get to experience it. It is an unusual feeling that causes terrifying sensations in your body and soul. I don't even think the human mind was made to understand it or know it. If you do begin to feel scared but safe at the same time, blissful yet sad at the same time, love and pain at the same time, laugh and cry at the same time, empty and full at the same time, these could be signs. The signs are so confusing and thats when the human mind begins to mess it all up because it is something alien and not recognizable and it can't be intellectualized. So, we create ways to intellectualize it with jealousy, fights over petty things, expectations, being distrustful, possessive, and the actions go on and on. We ruin it because we don't know it. If you are lucky and are spiritually elevated, he may just help you through it and you can allow yourself to experience this amazing thing we call true love and if you happen to find your soul mate to do it with, consider yourself one of the blessed ones. Don't be scared... My guess is, who ever created that saying, it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, knows what I am writing about. The way I see it, even if I only get to experience it for a little while, I will be thankful I had him for the time I did and keep that with me forever. I never knew this existed..."Me Either."

Irresponsibility???

So! I totally missed my court date today?? Does this mean I am irresponsible?? This would officially be my second act of irresponsibility for 2010 according to my family and society. I have never been this way. Could this be the year I am embracing my youth?? I am not sure what to make of this? Should I just move on and realize I am human?? But then why was I able to be on top of everything before while juggling full time at a University, 2 jobs and four years younger?? Could it be stress? I know stress is the the cause for most human mess ups and illness. Yet, when I look back and try to evaluate and compare, I am no where near half as stressed as I used to be. Maybe I am turning into a werewolf or a vampire and can't handle the pedestrian life ha ha j/k. Anyway, this is why blogs are great, you can write out your worries to the world and not get sick over it being all bottled up inside. For the record, I will not be writing too many personal blogs - just felt like this is an issue plenty of people may go through and I'm here to tell you that it is ok to lose track once in a while or twice in a while lol. We are imperfect beings and everything truly happens for a reason! Anyhow, I am going to move pass this and be responsible enough to fix todays mess. I just hope the cops don't come knocking on my door! LOL

Wii injuries on the increase, says medical journal

Yahoovideogames.com

Wow Really!! They finally found a way to make people get up and have fun with the hand held video games and they want to find the negative in it. People don't over abuse and hurt yourself "from intensive use of [video game]". Where did every ones common sense go?? This is America like when they condoned Ms. McDonald which won the law suit for getting burnt from Hot Coffee...

A New Beginning that shall be Never Ending

Hola! This is officially my first Blog! There will be many more for your entertainment. I can only hope I do not offend anyone along the way but lets loosen up because I am very blunt in a good way. I am harmless and love to write and tend to ramble. So, get ready to read read read. For those of you who abhor reading, ah thats a great word LOL, I will try to get some voice over done (a future goal for blogging). Any who, I will leave it at this... We all know I am here to become a successful actress/dancer. So, I concur that a celebrity is a person who works hard all of their life to become well-known. Then, wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized. That was a little help from Fred Allen by the way. Therefore, I will not be a celebrity but an entertainer I shall become!
