Luck For Serial Killers, pt. 1

BTK, the convicted serial killer of 10 people in the Wichita, Kan., area from the '70s to the '90s, sits in prison. Some hope the man, aka Dennis Rader, rots in hell. But, in his manipulative, sicko way, he's suckered the prison system in my home state into believing he's a model prisoner on good behavior. They have given back some of his "privileges" including TV, reading and writing. I know that those seem basic for most prisoners. But this is a guy who wrote letters and drew explicit pictures, sending them to the media and police, taunting them about what he'd done.

He also killed many women, including one young girl, after torturing them physically or sexually. Then killing them aroused him so much, he'd masturbate all over the victims or the area around them.

Do we really think that this man deserves credit for good behavior? Do we want to praise him for awaking on time, not causing a ruckus, being (slyly) kind to guards and other prisoners?

HE KILLED 10 PEOPLE. Not just killed them, strangled them. Suffocated them with plastic bags over their heads. I think he's got enough credit for BAD behavior built up, that he shouldn't deserve anything until, oh, say, 2028. That's if he lives that long. Child killers often don't last long amongst the incarcerated masses. I'm not going to fall for his suck-up-ability. He's a brutal murderer.

Do not hand that man the remote.

I saw that in the paper this morning... why are people so stupid? Why?? It was, I thought, thoroughly explained that when he wasn't murdering people, he would resort to his fantasy world through writing, drawing, whatever. Sick minds like his can contort the most innocent items into props in their fantasy world. It just makes me sick. And besides, he had that "kind" facade ever since he started killing people so we know he's capable of coming across as a nice guy. So why are these people ALLOWING themselves to be taken in by him?!?!?

Hair

This has become the age-old question...Why do men hate short hair on women? I've been thinking about this a lot because my current style, an angled bob, requires a bunch of fussing every morning to get it to do anything. My favorite haircut of all time, as far as ease of care, was my pixie cut. I loved that I could wash it, gel it, and be done. No blow drying or flattening or curling. Just gel and go. Very sporty. I thought it looked cute. My husband has another opinion. The longer the better is his motto. Thing is, my hair becomes an unruly, tangled, nappy mop when it gets long. If I had all the time in the world and Jennifer Aniston's budget, I'd be more than happy to grow it long and have others style it every day. In real life, I guess I'd rather go for comfort and convenience. And if you ask me, I think the pixie is dang cute. I suspect heterosexual men aren't hot on short hair, in general, because it's too much like their own hair. No matter how much jewel

Ho, Ho, Ho, How Many Times Can I Use "I'm too busy" as an Excuse?

I haven't had time to write. Work, swim meet volunteering, holiday decorating and shopping. But truthfully, I've not been in much of a mood to write anything anyway. Last night we put up the tree and Santa chachkies, and I drank my first egg nog of the season, so perhaps I'll be in a cheerier mood. Also, I have spent some time writing the annual Schoon holiday newsletter. If you happen to get a copy, treat it like a drinking game. Every time I make you roll your eyes, take a drink. Nog, wassail, Everclear. Whatever gets you through. One sure way to assist with merriment motivation is listening to Christmas carols. I'm not going to get into a debate over what truly constitutes a carol. You can "Jesus is the reason for the season" yourself until you turn blue; I generally lean toward the secular end of the holiday tune spectrum. And if you just gasped at my use of holiday instead of Christmas, go suck on a candy cane. It's my blog and my opinions. Deal.
