Just Listen: Mariah Carey

Artist: Mariah Carey
Song: Betcha Gon' Know
Album: The Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel

When I first heard this track I wasn't feeling it. As I listened a few more times, I became hooked! The song was co-written with The Dream, of course, and it is a classic MC track. You can definitely feel what she's going through, especially toward the end. Just Listen...

Offender Rights???

So this afternoon as I was watching 20/20 on WE, I came across two tragic stories of two different girls, from opposite sides of the country that had one thing in common, they were abducted and never heard from again. They just vanished. Young, pretty, smart, outgoing girls. Although the episode aired in 'o8, this situation happens EVERYDAY. No one ever thinks it's going to happen to them or someone they know. In fact, one can never be prepared for such tragedy. Well this led me to my own investigation and so I went to www.familywatchdog.us and saw all of the REGISTERED sex offenders in my neighborhood. While it wasn't a surprise, it is still unimaginable how this can really happen to such good people. Some of the crimes happened before i was even born and it made me think about how awful it is to have to be labeled for the rest of your life. Then I told myself those girls families have to live in despair for the rest of their lives. So kudos to whoever thought about the registry!
