Food & Friends

Last night I went to Loren's with Nick and Mandrew to eat some homemade lasagna & watch movies. I had so much fun just relaxing and laughing. After we ate Loren's delicious lasagna, we went to Payne's for some custard. Then we went back to his house to watch Zoolander & Harry Potter. Here are some pictures from the evening. :)

Welcome to America

A couple months ago a friend told me about the situation in Carmel with the basketball players. 4 (I believe) senior basketball players snuck 2 freshman onto their bus for "initiation". They proceeded to hold the young boys down and sodomize them. I hadn't heard much else on the situation until today, when they were announcing on the news the charges they were facing and the bails that had been set. I was completely disgusted when the woman listed the charges - ALL being multiple misdemeanors of assault/battery and criminal misconduct, with no bail set higher than $5000. SERIOUSLY?! These boys will get away with probation and maybe community service and will get out by paying $500 to a bondsman as long as they show up in court. They aren't getting charged with anything sexual, meaning they won't be on a sex offender list, meaning they could become teachers, coaches, principals, etc. They'll be allowed to go to college and face virtually no consequences for their actions. Why? Because their parents have money.

I was reading an article about the incident in Virginia where the wealthy boy murdered his girlfriend "on accident" when she broke up with him. I'm sorry, but bullshit. The article stated the boy had gotten in trouble prior to attending college and there were warning signs. Why were they ignored? His parents have money. Boys will be boys. If there is anything we can learn from the situation in Virginia, it's that violent warning signs should never be ignored, no matter how much money their parents offer.

The prosecutor from Carmel made the comment "We're all like a family here, and we have to remember we're dealing with children." First of all, if your family condones raping one another, you have a whole new set of problems. Second of all, if your "children" are old enough to fight and die for our country, they're old enough to go to prison for forcing themselves upon 15 year old boys. This situation is so infuriating. It's not my place to assure those boys face justice, but I pray to God they understand the severity of what they've done. Hopefully, someone will realize how disgusting their behavior is and take action to ensure that they are never in a position to do this again.

This must be why Whitney married him..

A look into my mind

1. "I love you too sissy!" - this little text from Drew brightened my day.

2. Starbuck's is full of people much trendier than I.

3. Creeps love me. The feeling is far from mutual.

4. Overbearing = unattractive.

5. Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a little crazy, but good.

6. It needs to be nice outside. My bike misses me.

7. I have a busy week ahead of me. I love it.

8. NEVER ask a girl "are u a good kisser? lol!" You've just repulsed her.

9. Flat Top Grill is good, but insanely overpriced.

10. I fit into my old jeans yesterday. Go Zumba!
