Your Time Has Come

So, Modblog has been down for quite some time. At least 4 days now. As a result, I've updated the link for LittlestNinja.

I feel like I didn't accomplish anything this weekend. I slept all of the time. Then again, I am pretty burned out. I thought I had this half-week and then one more week. Turns out there's another week I forgot about. Just when I thought it was over, it's not. But it also means I have an extra week to finish my unit tests for EE 316. I need to take Unit 13 tomorrow. That leaves 7 or so to do by Decemeber 9th. Not impossible.

I finally watched a full episode of The Boondocks. Absolutely hilarious. You should really check it out.

About 3 episodes ago on Desperate Housewives, Teri Hatcher's character broke down on the street. I didn't say it before, but I'll say it now. Teri Hatcher has a terrible, hideous crying face. It was hard to look at her.

Oh, and I watched My Boss's Daughter last night. Yea, I know. I was awake and I was bored. Well, I realized that Tara Reid isn't on my list anymore, and I'm not sure when she stopped making the cut. I also remembered that Carmen Electra still has something goin' on. Too bad she married Dave Navarro. Now it's all ruined. Eh, like it wasn't ruined when she married Rodman.

Hmm...current top 3? Monica Bellucci, Eva Longoria, Keira Knightley.

Ha, Christina Aguilera is married now? I feel sorry for the husband. For some reason, I just think that no matter how many showers Christina takes, she'll always be dirty. Wouldn't touch her with a 10-foot pole.

This is scary. I live in Texas. And if someone points me out in a lineup, this could happen to me.

Yet, I can't say that I'm in favor of the death penalty. I also can't say that I'm against it. I know, I just wrote that I wouldn't sentence a cat to death. But at the same time, if a person has taken innocent lives, I can't imagine not giving them the death penalty. If they are mentally-handicapped, I can see that as an exception. A 25-year old person who has the mental capacity of a 12-year old can't be tried as an adult. It wouldn't make sense. And that leads to another issue. At what age should we allow the option of a death penalty? Some 16-year olds are very intelligent and aware of their actions.

The one question everyone has to ask their self, is if someone killed a loved one of yours, what would you want to see as a fitting punishment?

It's really a big mess. Some might argue that we are not in any position to judge another human being. At the same time, a criminal must be judged and sentenced. We cannot wait for punishment by a higher source. I mean, what, do we just handcuff the guy and watch? Do we let the person loose and say they'll pay for it later?

For anyone who uses text from the bible as an argument against the death penalty, you should read Revelations 13:10.

There's the argument that if one innocent life is condemned, then the death penalty is a failure. I can see the reasoning behind this. It's a solid argument. But you could also ask about all of the innocent 'lifers' in prison. What about the innocent people who are sentenced to a decade or two, but die while in prison?

How is this really different from the ol' witch hunts? Throw them in a lake with their hands and feet tied together. If they float, they're a witch, and if they sink, they were innocent.

And even that was better than any punishment from the Middle Ages.

Either way, time for more sleep. I think I have a long day coming up.
