Although the exact date escapes me, something to mention is that four months ago something terrible and something disgusting happened.

Around that time a little girl was involved in a hit and run; when she was hit a car walking across the street with her brother and grandmother, just going to a store for milk. She came out of this horrible thing paralyzed from the neck down (her spine was severed). The accident itself was, of course, covered by local media... but honestly I didnt think much about it after it. Not in the sense that I didnt care, but just that it wasnt mentioned much after the initial coverage; so it got lost.

What I didnt know at the time, was the Media director of the ad agency I work for, is the next door neighbor of the family of this little girl. She had provided us all with information about the whole thing. The police found the car that did it, which the owner said was stolen... but didnt report it stolen till 2.5 hours after the actual accident. When the police initially found the vehicle, it had the appearance itd been hotwired... problem was, other than the ignition looking like itd been hotwired, the car didnt show any signs itd been broken into. No smashed window, no signs of forced entry... nothing. Instead of acting rash though, the police did the right thing... building their case till they had all the info.

Fast forward to last week, when the police went to the house of the woman who owned the vehicle and informed her they were gonna charge her with falsification, after gathering all their information and proving her car wasnt stolen. Hearing that must have stirred something in this woman (like the fact she was caught) and she confessed she knew the whole time... it was her car and it wasnt stolen, but she wasnt the driver... FOUR MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT.

That little girl has been lying in a hospital bed for the last four months, with no feeling from the neck down... and all this lady was concerned about was saving her own ass, or the ass of whoever was driving? FOUR MONTHS! I cant even fathom being the kind of waste of existence this woman and the driver are, sitting on their asses all this time with not a single thought to what they did to that little girl. To clarify something too... the driver is thought now to be someone close to this lady (I cant say more than that).

Given the info thats out there, the info Ive said... when this info was told to my bosses wife (our VP), she had the gall to say theres two victims to this (obviously referring to the woman whos car hit the little girl)... something I find completely offensive. For the woman involved to be a victim in this, she (or the driver) would have to have shown some shred of remorse and come out right away to accept what was done... NOT COVER IT UP FOR FOUR MONTHS THINKING NOTHING OF THAT LITTLE GIRL, OF ONLY THEMSELVES, ONLY TO ADMIT IT WHEN THE POLICE CAME KNOCKING. I personally am almost as disgusted with our VPs opinion, as I am with the woman involved.

I have no sympathy for this woman, or whoever was driving... they are piles of human waste that dont deserve any shred of life they denied that little girl. I actually wanted to get involved in this situation... try to do something, even a small thing to help this family or the situation out.

My thought, and I have seriously thought about this... was to start a petition (online or written, it doesnt matter) stating that whoever is found guilty of this absolutely disgusting act, whoever it is that did this unspeakable thing and thought nothing of that little girl, should be taken immediately to the nearest medical facility... AND HAVE THEIR SPINE SEVERED IN THE EXACT MANNER THEY DID TO THAT LITTLE GIRL.

Thats justice, and I bet I could get a lot of signatures...

I seem to be an Orange Blossom White Tea addict. So should I own stock in this company or what?

Update, 630PM: Well the 1st Annual J Christmas Mountain Bike Ride had to be postponed. The snow was a little too crunchy, and the ice a little too solid... making it very difficult to actually ride anywhere. After a brave almost half hour, I hadnt made much progress and had to, disgruntledly, go home. Chances are itll make it difficult to go tomorrow as well. Fuckety fuck fuckin' fuck.

Want to take this opportinuty to say Happy Holidays to everyone, hope youre having a happy and safe day with family/friends.

Luckily, my moms side of the family meets here at our house Christmas Eve. Little food, little drink and some conversation... its usually a good time we all have, this year being no exception.

Just leaves Christmas morning. I pretty much have only one stop on Christmas, and thats for the annual breakfast at my Dads parents house. Everyone on my Dads side of the family is there, sharing breakfast and well wishes.

Im usually a little hesitant at my Dads parents house, as its a lot of us in that one place. I love my family to death, and its always nice to see everyone, but I sometimes have a hard time walking around seeing all the smiling families. Most of my cousins, and my uncles with their significant others, it reminds me of just how alone I am; at least in the romantic sense. Its never too much for me, and I put on a brave face, but I never wanna hang around for a long time... just gets those hard feelings stirring sometimes; in that romantic sense I mean.

It also reminds me of my friends and family. It reminds me that for what I dont have in someone who loves me romantically, theres not a day that goes by I dont thank God for what I do have in the people that care/worry about me.

Now if youll excuse me, its time for the 1st Annual J Christmas Mountain Bike Ride. I might be crazy, but biking is something I love... and today isnt an exception.
