Check me out
because mother knows best.....right?
Oh, Rozlynn. Oh, Rozlynn Rodgers.
How could you?
You stupid, stupid whore.
Inflammatory words on the part of People You'll See In Hell? Perhaps. Perhaps not.
19-year-old Rozlynn Rodgers, despite being a grown woman, epitomizes the adolescent self-centered attitude and tendency towards shortsighted behavior. A high school student at Las Casas Occupational High School, an "alternative" high school which, according to their website, serves students whose emotional needs cannot be met in a regular public school setting, Rozlynn Rodgers planned to graduate in June of 2008 with the rest of her class.
It looks like her graduation date might be slightly delayed.
You see, on the afternoon of the 4th of April, 2008, Rozlynn Rodgers gave her 5-month-old daughter, Makalah Rodgers, a bath.
Bathtime can be a fun time, a great way for a new mother or father to bond with their little one. Babies often like to splash their little hands into the bathwater and grab toys that float by. Warm water makes a baby feel good, and probably reminds them somehow of that dark space they were in for 9 months or so.
But what some people would consider a privilege, what some people are desperate to experience, Rozlynn Rodgers considered a burden. For Rozlynn Rodgers, bathtime wasn't fun. Babies weren't fun. Babies were a pain in the ass. Babies keep you from going out and partying. Guys aren't all that into girls who have to stay home and take care of their baby.
Rozlynn Rodgers was tired of it.
So after putting 5-month-old Makalah Rodgers, who might have been learning to sit by herself at this point, into a full bathtub, Rozlynn Rodgers sat and watched as this little tiny human being slipped under the bathwater.
And she watched.
And she watched some more.
Makalah undoubtedly had her eyes open, with her arms outstretched and grasping for something, anything, anyone to pick her up out of the water, to comfort her and make her feel safe. She may have recognized her mother through the haze of the bathwater and opened her mouth to cry for help. Makalah probably thrashed around a good deal while the water poured down her mouth, down her throat and into her lungs.
Makalah Rodgers drowned while Rozlynn Rodgers watched and did nothing but think about all the parties she was now going to be able to attend.
After she was sure that her daughter was dead, Rozlynn told someone else in the house to call 911 while she pulled the corpse of her dead child out of the water.
Police who arrived found a tearful Rozlynn holding her dead child, insisting that she had only stepped away for a moment and come back to find her daughter had drowned.
What a tragedy.
An autopsy was inconclusive, but something the medical examiners found caused police to return to Rozlynn Rodgers on the 22nd of April, 2008 and arrest her. While the cops did so, Rozlynn took the opportunity to let her wild side out and attacked the officers who were arresting her. While sitting in an interview room with a police detective, Rozlynn figured that it would help her case out to attack the detective, knocking over a table before scratching, punching, kicking and spitting in the detective's face.
According to Assistant State's Attorney Mary Anna Planey, who spoke during a bond hearing before Judge Laura Sullivan:
Rozlynn Rodgers told police she didn't want to be a mom anymore because she couldn't go to parties if she had to take care of the baby.
Rozlynn Rodgers has been charged with first-degree murder and aggravated battery to a police officer. She faces life in prison.
She will not be attending any parties anytime soon.

wow i love my babe
he's amazing and wonderful and i feel so lucky to be one of those disgusting uber-in love people. i've known the man for almost seven years.
seven.
yes. seven.
and i'm so not bored or tired of him.i don't tire of his stories or jokes (unless i just woke up or i'm pms'ing) i don't resent him, as i have in the past. i truly love him. and i am blessed by how well he fits me and understands me. he's a good father. a wonderful father. the odds were stacked so high against him in court but NEVER gave up no matter how many times they said it'd never happen or the judge didn't show up or the lawyer didn't call back and he came away a winner.
he doesn't lie to me. and we'd both rather spend our time off with EACH OTHER. not at a club or bar or out with friends. with each other. whether it's shopping for laundry soap or watching a movie or drinking and playing the 360-we'd rather be there, together.
no matter how many times i call myself fat or ugly or mommified-he never gives in. he keeps telling me how beautiful and sexy i am.
i love his eyes. his smile. his laugh. i love how he has to make sound effects for everything he does. i love how he'll repeat a phrase he made up or heard over and over and over for a week until it becomes stuck in my head and i can't get it out. i love when he pretends he's a polar bear. i love it when he fights me for the title of "trini's best friend". i love him.
and don't get me wrong. we're not perfect. he annoys the shit outta me sometimes. but i love him so much we let it pass and so rarely fight, it's almost ridiculous.
wow.
i love my babe.

what the effing hell has our generation come to????????
His girlfriend told police that they had been arguing about the upbringing of their son and which gang he should belong to. The teen mother, who is black, is a member of the Crips. Manzanares is Hispanic and belongs to the Westside Ballers gang, the woman said."They have different ideas on how the baby should be raised. Basically, she said they cannot agree on which gang the baby would 'claim,'" Sandoval said.Manzanares was charged with disorderly conduct, harassment, and domestic violence. He was transported to the Adams County Detention Facility.On Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and was sentenced to a year of probation. The misdemeanor harassment charge was dropped.

this is an example of the caliber of the stupidity i have to deal with. constantly.
and fyi-if you do think that she sounds intelligent and is making sense with phrases such as "due unto", "quotely" and "kiss your regards up your ass"-then you are obviously just as stupid as her and i'm afraid we can no longer be friends.
