Trial is now over... Thoughts?

I have followed the Casey Anthony trial from Day 1. From the time that little Caylee went missing, to today when the verdict was read. So I have to say I got to be very invested and caught up in this story. Today while watching the verdict be read and hearing the words not guilty over and over again, really broke my heart. Caylee Anthony's death means nothing now. Justice will never be served, her mother will continue with the life that she has always wanted, and her whole family is torn apart.
The one person in the world that was supposed love and protect this little girl, let her down. And now, America's Justice System let her down.
This case was never about finding what happened to Caylee- finding the truth. This case was all about winning. This is our criminal criminal justice system unfortunately.
We live in a country where you will go to prison for spanking your child, yet you can walk away for killing them.Hmmm...
The jurors as far as I'm concerned really need to grow a backbone to be honest. They were thinking more about Casey Anthony's feelings, needs, and emotions, than the Victim's! Common sense isn't so common apparantly.
The fact that the defense tried to use the Anthony's way of burying their pets as a reason that Casey killed Caylee is proposterous to me! My parents buried my animals and even just threw them in the dumpster sometimes. Guess what? My kid's still alive.
Regardless of the verdict, the media certainly painted a pretty awful picture of her, and that will stick with the Public. I don't think she'll ever be "free". Most of America hates her. I wouldn't surprise me if what happened to her daughter happens to her. Can't say she doesn't deserve it.
How can a mother act the way she did after ( by what the defense says) her child drowned. She was out partying two days later. I can't go 2 minutes without knowing where my son is.
This whole post is so jumbled, I apologize. I am basically writing what I think when I think it.

The point I'm trying to make is this.. When you have a child, that child becomes your life. The life you knew before no longer exists. Its not your parent's responsibility to take care of your child. Act like a parent for God's sake. You don't pawn your kid's off on anyone who will take them, just to go have your fun. It disgusts me!
When I had my child, guess what I moved out of my parents house, got a job and supported him! I can count on my hand the number of times my parents have taken care of him for me. And not because they didn't want to, but because they don't have to. Take care of your responsibility's. If you couldn't or wouldn't take care of the kid, then do not have them. I'd rather someone get an abortion or give the child up for adoption, before bringing it into a world just to abuse it, and neglect it, and kill it.

Justice was not served to Casey Anthony here on this earth. But you can bet that it will be when she leaves it.

Casey Anthony- Guilty or Not?

I know this is about the ten thousandth blog about the trial of the century(in my opinion), the Casey Anthony Trial.  But I find myself, like millions of others, so fascinated by this trial i just have to follow it everyday. Web, Television, Radio. Anyway I can get it into my system, I do. This is my drug...
So many are intriguid by this case because it hits on one of the ultimate taboos: a mother killing her own child. Now this may not hit some of the more, how do I say, societal issues that the O.J Simpson Trial did. Simpson's trial highlighted how both race and fame work in the criminal justice system.
Nevertheless, personally being a mother, the Casey Anthony Trial hits home for me.
Now for the question everyone is asking- Guilty or not guilty?

Casey Anthony waited 31 days until even mentioning that Caylee was missing. During the time, she had been partying, getting tattoos, and drinking. She allegedly had no idea what had happened to Caylee right up until the 11th hour into the trial. George Anthony(Casey's father), the meter reader that found the body, Lee Anthony(Casey's brother), and even the Orange County PD, allegedly had something to do with Caylee's "disposal".  Everyone except the oly person who held the responsibility for this child, was not to be blamed, according to the Defense.
I think you know where I am going with this..

In the court of responsibility and morals, Casey Anthony is guilty. In the court of honesty, values, and motherhood, she is guilty. In the court of Melonie, Casey Anthony is guilty.
But in the court of law?  Regardless of the verdict, we will never know what happened to this child. So where is the justice?
One person knows. Even if Casey was to ever tell the truth, how would we know? She has told numerous lies throughout the 3+ years her child has been missing. She clearly has extreme mental disorders including
narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and sociopathy.
If found guilty of Murder 1, I am calling that she will not get the Death Penalty. Jurors tend to not approve of sending young, pretty women to the death chamber. Historically it rarely ever happens.
People sometimes like to give young mothers a "free pass" for their
wrong doings because of what they are.
Casey is like what 23? I didn't know that was considered a young mother to begin with and even if so, maybe she shouldn't have had the child if this was to be her fate.

So it disturbs me that someone with these qualities might be free again one of these days. People with these disorders are smart, not only that, the fact that she has that narcissistic trait, makes her have lack of care for anyone else but Casey.
People like casey dont just "grow up" and grow out of their ways. In fact, they get better at the manipulation, deception, and lack of care.

Scary stuff no?
Let me hear your thoughts..
Anything about the case or just parenting in general would be great. Share your personal experiences with me

New Day...No Dollar

So I think I will start out my blogging at a slow pace. We will get into the more controversial issues later on when I have more blog experience. I not only want to share my view on issues, but I want you to share with me as well.
Today's topic... Financial Issues.
Everyone has them, including myself unfortunately. I am at that age where I am out of high school so I no longer can rely on mommy and daddy, but don't have my degree yet. So I'm stuck. Right now I do not have a job. I support myself by collecting unemployment. I know what your thinking and I am thinking the exact same thing- Just get a job already and stop mooching off of the government. Trust me I HATE getting unemployment. Some may want to sit at home and get paid for it. I, however, feel a sense of failure in doing so.
I was layed off from my job in June of  2010, over a year ago. during the first 6 months, I applied at a few jobs here and there, but I wasn;t really adiment about getting a job. i eventually got my own apartment and got myself in gear. Literally applying at 5 jobs per day, it is a pain in the rear. I have gotten only a hand full of interviews, but it never seems to work out.
Can't give up though. I am determined to be employed by the end of next week, so wish me luck!
So you tell me what are some of the financial hardships you;ve gone through/ have you had to rely on friends, family, the government just to get by? If and how did you overcome them? I love to hear from you.

Peace & Love

First Blog.... Lets see how this goes.

Hello all. This is my first blog ever to write. I decided to start blogging because I've been goig through quite the trials and stuggles here lately. It's kind  of my "grown up" version of a diary- just more public for all of you fine people!
Just a little bt about me..
My name is Melonie(duh). I am 20 years old. Grew up in the small small town of Clayton, NM, and about a year ago I moved to Amarillo, TX to continue with college and make a change in my life. I have to say I do <3 Amarillo. Its not too big but its not too small. I had to get used to living on my own but now I love it.
I have a son who will be 2 on the 4th of July =). He changed my life like any child does to a parent especially because I had him when I was 18 and had just graduated High School. You will surely hear alot about my struggles with him and his father as well.
Going to college for Radiation Therapy. I am hoping to cure cancer one day. Crossing my fingers.- But I am interested in photography and psychology as well. Photography to me is just beautiful and phsychology is so amazing- I love getting into people's heads. 3 completely different fields, I know, but I am keeping my options open obviously.
Ok Ok I know what your thinking- SHUT UP ALREADY!!
Signing off now. Stay tuned for my next blog which should be alot more juicy.

Peace & Love
