In Remembrance of Mrs. Vicki Foster

While it seems I have been through this many times in my life already, for both friends and family it’s one of those things that never gets easier, and I never really know what to say, or how to say it. But I feel Mrs. Foster deserves the effort of at least trying.

I had Mrs. Foster as my 2nd grade teacher about 14 years ago, but I still remember her clearly even from that young age. I remember how she wouldn’t overlook me in the class, and she had me spelling bonus words like “Metamorphoses” at that age. I’m not going to lie, I could not spell that now without using spell checker, but I got it correct on my spelling test way back then!

I remember an outing Mrs. Foster took the class on one day, went down the alley across 7th street to see the built in swimming pool of a fellow classmate. I remember that day every time I pass that house!

I almost did not make it to the Fireball Run event last year, but I am glad I did because I got to see Mrs. Foster for the first time since I was in her class. Even after 14 years she remembered me and my mother, if you ask me that says something special about her right there. I don’t know how she could manage to remember one student after so many years.

I read the article on the Paragould Daily Press “Remembering Mrs. Foster“, and it said she loved to travel, and went to Ireland last summer after years of planning the trip. All I could do was smile and think how happy she must have been, because I know I would be happy! [I wonder if her love for travel rubbed off on me when I hugged her at the Fireball Run?]

I read Visitations are tomorrow evening (April 19th, 2009), and although I am still shy and won’t know anybody, I want to try and make it to show my respects for the best teacher I ever had.


Mrs. Foster, You will be missed by many!

Obama Wanting To Take Over The Web?

Well, I can kind of see doing “something” for cyberspace hackers and trying to prevent them. But, I think this is taking it way to far. From my understanding, they are trying to pass a bill that will allow them to shut down any part, or all of the net they wish, whenever they think they should (which could be for anything).

I think this is a bad idea, how many people try to pay bills through online accounts, or check their balance throughout the day. If they cannot get into the website, that seems unprofessional for that business, and they will likely just withdraw their money.

Same goes for other sites that may contain content they do not like because the content doesn’t agree with them. Sounds like they are trying to take away or at least bash some of the rights we have.

Police Beat Down 15 year old


As you can see in the video a woman slightly kicks her shoe off at the officer, and then the officer (in “self defense”) charges are her, kicks her in the stomach, slams her face into the brick wall, throws her to the ground, punches her at least two times in the head, then picks her up by the hair. The whole time his partner doesn’t do anything to stop him.

Now if you watch the time stamp, (0:26 into the video) it goes from 4:39:42 to 04:40:00. That’s 18 seconds of video not being shown, I have to wonder, why did it take that long to cuff her, and why did they cut it out?

I wouldn’t doubt that in that 18 seconds they did something else to cause her harm. Just before the time jump if you watch even closer, it looks like her left arm goes limp. This occurs just after receiving the two punches, also makes me wonder if she was knocked unconscious during the time not account for.

What’s your thoughts about this?
