Forever Shy

Whenever it gets close to my birthday, I become instantly prone to analyzing my whole year and what I can do better. Did I take enough risks, did I do the right things, did I call my grandmother enough and do I need to be a little easier on my mother are some of the things I think of. A year before I turned 18, I was so thankful high school was almost done and I just wanted to be 18. I was so over 17, I remember it quite well. 17 seemed like the most annoying age back then.

Fast Car Worries

I spent just a little over a week in my hometown over my break from school. My brother has a flashy BMW that he is super proud of, so he likes to take any opportunity to drive it. I thought "no problem, he can drive us to the pool" when he said we were taking his vehicle. I drove with him when he first got the vehicle and always thought he was a good driver. However, there and back he went at least 20 kilometres over the speed limit and the road was not bare. He also didn't stop at two stop signs, saying there were just suggestions and should really be yield signs.  Read more >

This was supposed to be a supervised visit with a caseworker, but Powell closed the door in her face.  Powell has been a suspect for his wife's 2009 disappearance and according to an update story I just read on Yahoo, one of the children drew a picture of his father driving a van with his brother and himself in the back seat and their mother in the trunk.  Read more >
