Lost

Some days I just feel so lost. I'm sure some of you know what I mean. You feel like you're on the right path and cruising along, and then you're like... what the crap? Most of my concerns are career-oriented. In high school, I thought I had it all figured out. I always did well in school and thought I would never run into any complications. Well... I now see that I am wrong. :) Now, I am about to GRADUATE COLLEGE and GET MARRIED and I choose to have second thoughts about what I'm supposed to do. Perfect timing, right?

I guess part of me is afraid of screwing up royally and having to fix it. I want to get it right the first time so badly. That's just the way I am. But, on the other hand, I have a full life ahead of me to make the right choices, so messing up from time to time isn't a big deal.

When it comes to life stuff, it seems like no matter how hard I try, I'm always JUST barely behind the eight ball.

Christmas music.... :)

I'm now just sitting here listening to Christmas music... it just puts me in such a good mood... I can see why people get a bad attitude after Christmas. You have the somewhat crappy and cold weather, but nothing really to look forward to except for Spring... which is sadly 3.5 to 4 months away. I hope and pray that the upcoming snow season does not leave my mustang "Bullitt" stranded. :)

Is this okay?

You know, I've just started training with a local police department and I think I was nieve to the fact of what I was going to have to do in this job. I enjoy it, but man, I don't know... taking someone's rights away on a whim just seems like so much power for one person. I think it's corruptible power... You see so many people abuse it much like in the Gary Indiana case with their police chief that illegally arrested two people because he thought they broke into his house. What if I mess up? Do we put too much power into people's hands in law enforcement? One officer can make your life a living hell if he chose to and you wouldn't have much power against it. It would be a lot of money in legal fees and time.... which is what a lot of people don't have right now.

Is there some way to address this flaw with the justice system or should we still put so much trust in ordinary people?

Gun collection after Katrina

This whole thing just makes me sick to no end. Apparently the 2nd Amendment was repealed by the Mayor and Police Chief after the initial disaster.

As a police officer in training, I cannot understand how some of these officers could follow such orders. America is changing.... you wouldn't have seen this 60 years ago....
