Port St. Lucie father faces child abuse charge

I despise child abuse! It makes me sick to my stomach... But this one is ridiculous... A father of three children and who is married, slapped his 5 month old child, because she wouldn't stop sucking on her thumb. The three children are under the age of five years old. The father of the five month old, told his wife the reason the baby's hand was swollen, was because of a bug bite, because he didn't want his wife to go to the doctor.

"It's especially sad when you have a five-month-old who can't talk, who can't tell you what is wrong ... to endure such an incident like this," said Port St. Lucie Police spokesman Frank Sabol.
 

It truely is sickening to abuse a child that can't defend or talk up for themselves. The father is posting a $5,000 bond and will be released, the children are not in protective custody, but it’s not clear whether they are back home with their mother.

Another Random!

Everyone thinks life is just a given thing. I think of life in more of everyone's view... So this poem below is describing my thoughts of life and its meaning. Many people don’t believe that they have a life, because it may be a family issue or a break-up in a relationship, or a death of a close relative; but as long as you breathe and go on day to day your life will continue and you have a purpose.  People who think that their life doesn’t mean anything, that they are useless, YOUR NOT, you have a purpose or else you wouldn’t have been brought in this world in the first place, your good at something and you do matter, you have a purpose here on Earth so fulfill it. I hope you take this post into deep thought.

Life?

By: Kaitlin Fowler

Life? What does it mean?

Is it a gift or is it a curse?

Can it be taken for granted or can it be forgotten?

Some people live life

Some don't begin it.

Life is filled with surprises, heartache, happiness, and many other emotions.

But what is life?

It’s a mystery. 

It’s a gift.

It’s a journey, 

And torture.

So the question remains.

What is life?

Life... It's up to you.

We read.... 9/11 Special.

9/11 Memorial!

Two massive square voids sited within the footprints of the towers, it digs down — almost as if the collapse of the towers had pounded out a space to deposit feelings about that whole wretched day.

 Over the past ten years there have been any number of disappointing developments at the Trade Center site (more on that later), but the memorial has not turned out to be one of them.

 The organizers of the memorial competition told applicants to respect Libeskind's plan, which would have placed the entire memorial plaza far below street level.

But scale has a power all its own, and by its very size — each of the voids is about an acre in size — the completed memorial still evokes the immensity of 9/11. Its right-angled geometry notwithstanding, it appears before you as a vast abstract of nature, of cliffs, waterfalls and chasms.
 In a stiff wind, when the water whips and lashes the walls, it even has an unruliness of its own, like that restive, riderless horse in the funeral procession for John F. Kennedy.

But all the while that those deep, dark voids express a sense of loss and grief — and reach into your feelings about the grave — the falling water exerts its ancient power to console.

As those descend they combine into a unified sheet of water, a mingling that speaks of the many lives joined by the vast event that was 9/11. 

 At the center of each tank the pooled waters drain into a square opening — like one of Arad's imagined holes in the surface of the Hudson — and out of sight.

In all there are 2,983, including everyone (other than the terrorists) who died at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and in the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pa., as well as the six who died in the truck bomb attack on the Twin Towers in 1993.

For so long as the rest of Ground Zero remains a construction site there will only be one entry point to the memorial plaza, and visitors will require advance tickets.
 

You might say that the final architects of the 9/11 memorial will be the people who pass through it every day.

Random #3

For this post I have no idea what to talk about, so I'm taking this post up on it's name and being RANDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm just gonna talk about what comes to mind first hand. Well as I speak or type I am thinking about what else to type about. I am also singing and dancing stupidly in my computer chair while trying to check my Facebook periodically, I'm about to call it a night and read over my speech I messed up on today :( . I have done nothing practically all day... It's been a lazy day sorta for me. I really didn't know what to talk about. I'm trying to think about what to talk about for a post tomorrow and what my next topic is gonna be about. To anyone that happens to read this I need new bands to listen to.... If you want to be help comment on this post and name of the band and/or singer and the genre, thank you! I hate doing homework... I despise it so much. I also despise ads ( he he I know random right? Hint hint the title) Advertisement is slightly aggravating and annoying.I think almost everyone is at agreement on that. Another thing that is annoying is someone asks you a question and you explain that answer and the person sitting right beside you asks you the same question and they knowing know that you just answered the same question! I mean REALLY? Another random topic for this is that I'm really really hyper... I was repeated this post to someone I would be speaking 50 mph.... ( No Joke!). Well I'm tired and being hyper at the same time is never good, so I'm going to get off my laptop and try to get some sleep.... I know totally random, well night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's Happening!?!?

I'm just say this... Nothing has been happening everything has been really boring so far. Well to me it is, I don't know about anybody else. Anyways this is going to be about whats happening around the school so far.
Well Mr. Paul the Public Speaking teacher is back from taking care of his wife and his first newborn child. So far I'm loving his class. I'm hoping by the time this semester is over I won't be afraid to speak in public anymore. Moving on.... Today was picture day! Everyone looked awesome for pictures and I bet every ones picture looked fantastic. The week seemed like it flew by in no time and it's hard to believe that its already the weekend. All classes fly by, it feels like your in a class for a few minutes and then your leaving again. In geometry nothing really changed and/or has happened so there is nothing to really write about. and in civics we are already having a project. Everything so far has gone excellent and I'm hoping it stays that way. I really don't know what else is interesting to right about so see y'all until next time!

What I've Read. #2

 This time around I've been reading a book made up of over twenty-five Vampire Romance stories. These stories are full of hot blood, midnight pleasure, and inhuman passions. These stories are amazing, they keep you on your toes waiting to find out what's going to happen next.  If your a person you like thrills and chills  with lots of suspense then this book is probably for you. With these vampires there strange code of conducts, dark rituals, and dating games that they are engaged in. They seduce their prey and mates and locals for fun. These vampires aren't like normal vampires, they don't want to bite humans, because they don't want to curse them with what they have to live with, so they care some.  I enjoy this book quite a bit, its somewhat interesting. To answer some questions that I have been asked, yes my parents know I read books with this content in it.  The only people I wouldn't recommend this book to is to the people under the age of thirteen and for people who don't like descriptive sexual content.  I really don't know what else to write aboutso any questions you may have comment and I'll answer them.

Random #2

Okay, so I had a request for this particular post. For this post I'm going to go more into depth about some incidents from the first random post. In the first post I talked briefly about the death of my beloved Paw-paw and the outcome of my emotions and actions. I was emotionally destroyed. I became depressed and incapable to handle almost the simplest task without sitting and crying for hours. As mentioned in the first post I barely came out of my room. My school work was a disaster, and I was a complete mess. I didn't smile, laugh, I didn't enjoy life itself. Life itself as I knew was over, my world was destroyed, and I was nothing. For the longest time I blamed myself, although I knew that it was something I had no control over, because his death was caused by lung cancer, but I still continued to blame myself. For about four to five years I wasn't myself. I basically hide myself from everyone and everything. During those four or five years I was dark, my thoughts weren't pleasant, I did things that were stupid and that I regret, internal and external marks/scars are left behind to remind me. A lot of people that know my story from my voice have asked me, “How did you overcome all your problems?” my answer is talking about whatever the problem is... If you don't talk about what’s bothering you then you can never get the help you need. I had to talk to my doctor almost every day  for those years and see two psychologist, and most people think that their parents/guardians wouldn't care, but I'm pretty sure that they would be with you step by step all the way, because I know my mother was. It didn't matter how stupid some of the things I did was or how horrifying details got, or how bad the problem escalated to she was there by my side. I was ridiculed and tormented and every day I wanted to end it all... No matter how bad it gets there's always hope, my hope was my sisters and my friends and family. My sisters played a huge part in helping, because they got me to sit and think about what I was thinking about doing, tried to do, or done. They would make me think about if I did end my life what they would have to live with. After this past year things gradually got better and I slowly returned to my old self. The life I lived before scared me, and everyone around me. I still have my moments where I shut down, but I actually live the life I want to live now. When I tell my story, I don't share my story for sympathy or for "special treatment". I share my story to inspire other people that is or have been through similar problems and that have experienced what I did, I share it to let them know that their not the only ones. That there is a person who care and wants to help. It’s depressing stuff to read, and it’s more depressing to go through it. There's people who say to me," You don't know what I'm dealing with", and I may not, but I do know that keeping emotions bottled up isn't what you want. I believe that no matter how embarrassing, scary, or stupid the situation is, just talk about it, because you'll feel better about yourself once you get it off your shoulders. Whether it’s a friend, doctor, parents/guardian, grandparents, or even a stuffed bear, just talk. Ramble on and on about what it is that is bothering you.  If you don't feel like talking randomly to someone about it, then talk to someone close or that you know that has been through it. I tell everyone I know, if you need to talk about anything to please come and talk to me and not to be afraid. If anyone is in that position or has those feelings, feel free to come talk to me, call me, email me to talk. I'm sure there are other people that will say the same thing.

Book I read!

A book I have read and enjoyed multiple times during this past year and summer is Lynsay Sands novel, Under a Vampire Moon. Its romance filled and lots of tension built up. The novel series is called An Argeneau Novel. Out of the series this is so far my favorite book. The book takes place on a vacation in St.Lucia, the character Carolyn Conner is in the middle of a divorce. Carolyn is vacationing with her friend Bethany.Carolyn doesn't want to think about men or a relationship in any way except friendship, but Bethany wasn't going to let Carolyn be at that, Bethany was going to get Carolyn with someone even if it was by force. Carolyn  meets a woman Marguerite Argeneau, who is infamous among her family for her matchmaking powers. Carolyn's other friend Genie s the entertainment director at the resort and is in need of a band. Marguerite  just so happen to know the perfect band for Genie and the perfect match for Carolyn. Marguerite's son Christian. Christian Notte has been without a lifemate, and has seen enough of his relatives  find theirs, never has he thought about himself falling in love, until he and his cousins are called to perform and he meets the deprived mortal Carolyn. Christian worries how can he reveal what he is, but still convince her to trust him with her heart ad for forever. This story is suspenseful and will have you on the edge of your seats begging for more. I fell in love with this book reading the first page I read. Hope that you get a chance to experience the love undenying love of these two people.

Random!

Okay, for my first official post I am deciding to go with a random topic! For this random topic it's going to be about me and my interests.First off my name is Kaitlin, but everyone calls me Katie or Kay Kay. I live with my mother and my step-father and my three sisters. My mother married my step-father. I just turned fifteen and got my permit recently. Since this random post, I'm going talk about my summer. My summer consisted of going swimming, hanging out with friends and my boyfriend, going to the beach, and having a ball with my family. During this Summer I was invited to go to Australia for the summer of 2013, and was asked to become a member of the NSHSS (National Society of High School Scholars). I was so happy about it. Everything was wonderful this summer. I was born in New Port Richie, Florida and I moved when I was six-months old. I have lived in and out with my Maw maw and Paw paw while my mother worked to support me and her.When I was eight she gave birth to my first younger sister Emily,  who is now seven. The next year, a month before her first birthday my Paw paw passed away. A few months later my mother had twins named Abigail and the other Lillian. The twins are now six years old .  After a few years after the death of my Paw paw I came out of the horrible depression state I was in. For five years I didn't smile, laugh, barely even came out of my room for anything. Very recently I smiled for the first time in five years. Now my mother is graduating from Belmont Abby, my Uncle is retiring from twenty years from the U.S Navy and my Aunt  just moved to Kentucky with my cousin. My Maw maw teaches me pool and new tricks every now and then. She plays in pool tournaments almost every Tuesday and soon I will be able to join the tournaments with her. Well that's my life, its pretty explainable, but if you have any questions comment your questions and I'll try to answer them the best way possible.
