Jesus Take The Wheel!!!

I was going to write a blog post about my little adventure on the Honda moped that I drove around the island on today, but got as far as the title, but it fits both I personally feel right about now.

I deviated to my regular online haunt and caught up on the Jennifer Hudson tragedy and now the news is breaking about a dead male child fitting the description of Julian found in an SUV.

Jesus take the wheel indeed, what kind of soul kills in cold blood and also takes the life of an innocent child?


The death penalty, [although I've come to find is suspended in the state of Illinois], and jail seem to be not enough for the perpetrator[s] of these crimes. Hell is extremely fitting though.

How do you get over your mother, brother and nephew, 3 generations just wiped out and brutally murdered like that? 3 funerals to prepare for and to attend. After that would you even care about making music, movies, Billboard chart positions and awards, or even planning your upcoming wedding? I think I'd want to be locked in a room forever and just be left alone to deal with it all.

No amount of counselling or prayer could help you get over that. I don't care how strong in your faith you are, that will live with you for the rest of your life.

It's at times like this when you hear about people losing their loved ones that you're ever so grateful for the ones you have in your life right now.

I just pray that Jennifer Hudson and her family just get through this the best they can, it's so sad to read about this happening to somebody who deserves all the success and notoriety she's been getting over the past year or so. It such a tragic irony that her single [one which I can't even get out of my head at the moment] Spotlight is on top of the charts and unfortunately she's in the global spotlight for all of the wrong reasons.
