As soon as I walked into work today I got into a weird.... I don't know what to call it...debacle... I guess, with Takesha. It's weird how people can say the tiniest most insignificant thing and without realizing it, cause some sort of reaction on someone else. After a few minutes of going back and forth, me trying to prove my point and her trying to blow me off, we just decided to change the subject. Takesha I noticed is not open at all to have a normal conversation about things she and the other person disagree on. Or maybe she just thinks that I am not smart or good enough to hold these conversations with her because we don't share the same faith. Anyway...we're cool though, I like her and I didn't want us to get in an argument cuz she's practically the only friend I have at work...LOL.

Felicia finally started her own blog. I am happy for her because this blog, if it has served no other purpose (which I'm sure it hasn't) it has helped me in a therapeutic way to vent my anger, frustration and a bunch of other negative adjectives I used to bottle up inside. Maybe it will help her too in this manner.
I love my baby.

Last night I won a stupid $5 gift certificate to Port City Java at work for having over 95% call documentation. Which only means I vouched for every call I took. It sucks though, I have horrible luck. This incentive has been ongoing for at least a month now...this is the first time I've won anything. I get a ticket everyday, and each tickets stays in the raffle permanently until it is pulled. I have over 15 tickets and all I get is a fucking $5 gift certificate to a coffee house?!?!? LOL... Takesha won two movie tickets..twice. Dyane and Craig won a free day off WITH PAY! and Sally (another co-worker) won a big ass 25" color fucking TV!!! AND I GET A FUCKING $5 DOLLAR GIFT CERTIFICATE TO A COFEE HOUSE????!!!.
Life sucks ....lol.

Today they also had me train a new bilingual communications specialist. His name is Juan and he's an older dude. He's pretty cool though, he's from Mexico too. He's fucking smart..the guy speaks Spanish, English, Italian and French! I have no idea why the Fuck he's wasting his time in this dump. But you know, whatever..it's his choice. I have pictures of the bean and stuff in my cubicle and he asked me about the bean and all. He's alright...made the day a little less monotonous. I don't know if I have to train him tomorrow though.

Finally, today, I read this story:

Baby-killer gets eight years jail
By Lorna Knowles
December 12, 2003

BABY Jordan had his tiny toes crushed one by one, was hit so hard his bottom teeth went through the roof of his mouth, and was subjected to repeated punches to the stomach.


Jailed: Christopher Hoerler (top) and his victim baby Jordan


The seven-month-old's torture and suffering ended only when he choked to death on his own vomit.

Yesterday the man responsible for the brutal killing of the baby boy was sentenced to a minimum term of just eight years and three months. With time already served, Christopher Hoerler could be free in January 2010, at the age of 32.

Hoerler, 26, repeatedly denied involvement in the gruesome killing, but in July, at the end of the Crown case in his murder trial, decided to plead guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Even then, he would not accept full responsibility for the heinous attack -“ he told a psychiatrist that Jordan's mother, Louise Anderson, asked him to hit the child twice because he was crying.

Jordan died in the Housing Commission home Hoerler shared with the baby's mother, Louise Anderson, at Ashmont, Wagga Wagga, in the early hours of February 25, 2000.

The trial had been told that nobody heard Jordan scream during the attack because it was believed the first punch to his jaw, which drove his bottom teeth into the roof of his mouth, knocked him unconscious.

His extensive facial injuries and fractured ribs suggested he had been dragged face down over carpet or a sofa and punched hard in the abdomen.

Hoerler then set about crushing Jordan's little toes -one by one- with a fan clamp.

During sentence proceedings yesterday, Crown prosecutor Virginia Lydiard told the Supreme Court she could not think of a worse case of manslaughter and called for the maximum sentence of 25 years to be imposed.

But Acting Justice Jeffrey Miles sentenced Hoerler to a maximum 11 years in jail with a minimum term of eight years and three months. He said that to impose any more was "far beyond the range of sentences established by past sentencing practice in this court in recent years".

Sentences of less than 25 years were imposed for murder and it would be "entirely against the tradition and history of the criminal law" to treat a murder as less serious than manslaughter, except in exceptional circumstances, he said.

When the sentence was announced, Jordan's uncle Darcy Smith yelled, "scumbag" at Hoerler. Outside court, Mr Smith said the family was bitterly disappointed.

"Today is a very dark day for justice in Australia," he said. "He's a dead-set animal. Anyone who can take a human life is a dead-set animal full stop, let alone a seven-month-old baby that can't scream, can't cry out for anyone, can't call for help-it's defenseless".

The Daily Telegraph



Once I was done reading, I realized that I was shaking in anger and I could not contain my tears. I realized that I was actually crying. I cannot begin to fathom what kind of animal, what kind of beast or inhuman hyena would do something this horrible to a poor defenseless baby. What kind of demon would bring himself or herself to these measures. Why does God (if there is one) allows shit like this to happen to anybody? Can you imagine the suffering that poor angel experience before his untimely death? Is he able to feel the pain and the immense uncontrollable and unexplainable fear this poor baby felt as he was being beaten, abused and desecrated to death? Do these bastards realize that they are destroying the most beautiful thing in the world? Why does shit like this have to happen? How are we as humans capable of such monstrosities? And why, do we as humans, judge acts such as this in a court house? Why are these wastes of skin trialed fairly? Why are they shown mercy, unlike they did to their defenseless victims? Why are they given the opportunity to get off on technicalities or lies in our judicial system? Why do we not show the same monstrous, unholy, miserable, rabid rage to them while desecrating their existence in the same manner they did to this poor baby....In a slow, painful, agonizing and unbearable manner. If I had some time alone with this person, nobody...NO FUCKING BODY! NOT EVEN THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP ME FROM SKINNING HIM ALIVE AND MAKE HIM SUFFER FOR THE REST OF HIS PATHETIC, MISERABLE AND UNDESERVING LIFE!

fuck...I'm crying again........
