CINCINNATI -- Friends and neighbors gathered to remember Marcus Fiesel as a couple accused of killing him and burning his remains prepare for their first court appearance Wednesday afternoon."The first reaction is one of absolute shock and just utter disappointment," said Fred Buop, who worked in the search effort as battalion chief with Anderson Township Fire Department. "Even though we had hoped for the best, we had planned for the worst; but it's still a shock."Others gathered at candlelight vigils around Anderson Township, including the former Carroll home and Julifs Park."I don't care if [the Carrolls] did it by accident or if it was was intentional, I think the death penalty is very just in this situation," Karen Bertram said."We're devastated. We cried. I don't want to believe this. I could have watched Marcus that weekend. I could have helped," Regina Herbolt said.Marcus Fiesel's foster parents, Liz and David Carroll, were charged Monday with causing his death, nearly two weeks after the foster mother reported the child disappeared when she passed out at a park, triggering a massive search.The Carrolls left Marcus Fiesel in a closet when they went to a family reunion in Kentucky on Aug. 4, authorities said.They returned home to find him dead two days later -- nine days before reporting him missing -- authorities said. David Carroll has been charged with burning his body, allegedly at an abandoned fireplace in Brown County.

Property owner Mike Cales said detectives from Hamilton, Clermont and Brown counties asked his permission to collect evidence from the area around a two-story stone chimney. He said the chimney is all that's left of a home that hasn't been occupied since the 1960s.A Hamilton County grand jury indicted the Carrolls on charges of involuntary manslaughter and endangering children, and David Carroll was charged with gross abuse of a corpse."They let thousands of people look for this little boy, knowing he was long dead," prosecutor Joe Deters said. "You would not treat your dog like this."Deters said the Carrolls took time to plan out a story before reporting Marcus missing.A week after making her report, Liz Carroll made a public plea for help in the search, calling herself "an excellent mother" and professing her love for the boy.As time went on, authorities expressed concern that the search was going to end badly. Police also openly questioned why no witnesses reported seeing Marcus in the park.

Now I feel old.

Late Friday night early Saturday morning an infommercial came on tv. You ask why this is so unusual? Well its because instead of it being one of those TimeLife things remembering the 60 and 70's music they have now moved onto the 80's. The official era I grew up in. Universal Music Presents 80's Gold.....hosted by none other than Rick Springfield and some unknown girl who is touting all about the sings she remembers when in real life I bet she is no more than 22.

Yes this is sad and now I officially feel old. I have always considered myself to be like John Cusack's character in High Fidelity with his love and loathe of music. I like him can hear a song and know exactly when, where and what I was doing. Mostly good times come to mind. 80's Gold captures 138 of the best songs from the 80's. Well they might be the most well known, but not always the best. I realize that most people probably think that Pat Benetar's "Hit me with your best shot" was a fabulous song, personally I like "Love is a Battlefield" much better, but then again my music taste can be way out there sometimes. They couldn't consider putting, more Talking Heads, Crowded House or even Peter Murphy. They were more underground 80's I guess.

I cannot wait in another 10 years it will be the 90's Gold, yikes! Thats just crazy to even think about.

Ok now the world is coming to an end.

Pluto stripped of planet status

3.20, Thu Aug 24 2006

Pluto has been stripped of its status, meaning that only eight classical planets are now in existence.

It follows days of heated debate and a vote by 2,500 scientists and astronomers at the International Astronomers Union General Assembly in the Czech Republic.

Pluto, which is furthest from the sun, has been called a planet since being discovered in 1930. It will now be classed in the category of "dwarf planets".

Discovered in 1930, Pluto has traditionally been considered the ninth planet, and furthest from the sun, in the solar system.

In addition to the categories of "planet" and "dwarf planet", the definition creates a third category to encompass all other objects, except satellites, to be known as small solar system bodies.

When will it end?

So 1,200 more troops have been called up to go to Baghdad due to the increasing violence. I would like to know, has there ever been a time when Baghdad was NOT violent? I mean seriously when will it end, we need to get out. We are losing so many people, not just soldiers but civilians. I don't understand how our president can be soooo stupid. I see him and our government as selfish. This is not about democracy in the middle east it never was, this was a political ploy to boost the republican party moral. A kind of I'll show you who's bigger attitude. I am a news junkie but I cannot bear to hear anymore about it.

I heard something very scary on NPR this morning, that its not about how do we get out of Iraq but how do we sustain them there for 10-15 years? 10-15 YEARS! Thats just wrong. You know a lot of people think that we liberals and democrats hate the current government and are against the republicans in general and to an extent we are(I cannot speak for all, keep that in mind), but we truly just want to be able to work together to find common ground. Nothing will ever change without calling a truce and admitting on both sides that things are not right the way they are. Something has to change.

Wealth and power are the root of all evil now though and it will take something mighty big to pull that off. I really truly believe that it will never happen. They say that segregation has ended but in a way it still here clear as the day. Until the two parties can agree to make nice, thousands more lives will be lost, as will too much time.

It's a shame when you really sit back and analyze everything.

Anywhere but here.

Do you ever have one of those days when you know you are seriously somewhere you don't want to be? I have felt that way about this area from the beginning, I don't know what it is but I have never meshed very well here. It's really hard to make friends much less trust anyone. I have yet to meet another person that truly wants to help others without it involving them getting something in return.

I feel like I am just not in the right place, I cannot explain it but I know that I need to be elsewhere. Not really sure where but just elsewhere. At this point in my life as much as I like the seasons and the changing colors etc. I could really do without winter anymore. It was pretty brutal where I grew up, much milder here but I still never look forward to it. I don't know where to though. So therefore I am sort of stuck not to mention you try moving somewhere and getting a new job without a college degree now.

Guess I have no choice but to keep dreaming. I don't think I'll ever get away from here.

Monday's Rant

Ok so here it for today. I have been taking a different way to work in the morning and afternoon because I am soo farking sick of stupid ass people and the traffic jams they cause. I have to drive past a Planned Parenthood twice a day, here it comes......I don't care what your beliefs are whether you are pro-life or pro-choice(me being in the latter group), but the displays that are out in front of this building every morning are just dispicable!

When I first moved here and didn't have a regular doctor I used Planned Parenthood to stay healthy, I'll put it that way. Meaning to get my annual and bc pills. I was repeatedly screamed at by the moral nazi's that stand guard just outside the fence, don't get an abortion, chose adoption! Thats all well and dandy except you farking retards first of all its none of your business why I am going into PP and second of all I am NOT going to get an abortion!!!. Jesus almighty why do they automatically assume thats what everyone is going for? Apparently they will never realize that not everyone can "as good as a parent as they are" and take responsibility for their kids and their actions. Which brings me back to my rant. Everyday I have to drive past these horrible signs of half deformed and disfigured "things", and I mean things they look like aliens not fetuses. Not to mention they are some really disturbing pictures.

What do I see every morning but not even a woman standing out there with these disgusting signs but a old man, I mean "OLD" wearing a sun hat at that(if that isn't gay, I don't know what is!)pacing back and forth behind the signs. You stupid old man, you cannot have children physically, get off your high horse, go home and watch Pat Robertson or something. Next these signs are awful for adults to have to glance at no matter what your opinion is, what happens to the children that live in the neighborhood and have to look at and walk past these things everyday. I will not explain to a child about these pictures in fact I am more inclined to explain about the stupid people standing out front and why they have no tact in keeping their opinions to themselves.

My point is there is just no excuse for anyone to have to look at these images, I know there are there to try and get a rise out of people but have some common decency and really truly think of others. You will not stop anyone from going in there who really wants to and no one wants to see that shiat.
