Justice or not? : Ronnie Lee Gardner executed by firing squad.

By Briana Booker


Now that Ronnie Lee Gardner, a man that shot an attorney and another man in the 80's has been put to death, i am not sure what to think. I personally think he may have tried to repent for his sins. Gardner never announced he was innocent for the crime. In fact, he said if you live by the gun, you should die by the gun. It is a bold statement.

Maybe we should all be treated for how we live our lives. If we are assholes, we should be treated like assholes, not just by some people,but by all people. Act how you act with everyone. Do not try to appear a decent person in the public eye and then be a rotten person behind closed doors.

It leaves a bad taste in my mouth when nice people finish last in this world. However, it leaves a worse taste in my mouth when the world still punishes people that went from cruel to humble people. There is a difference when a person that is cruel remains cruel, while another person tries to repent for their sins. I honestly believe Gardner was trying to repent for his sins.

Maybe Gardner felt death would finally give him peace. After this lifetime, I am hoping death does give peace.

A few hours before Gardner's execution he was napping in his cell. Reports stated he looked calm and collected going in for his execution.

Gardner's last words were "I do not. No." when asked if he had any final words. His last meal was steak, lobster, apple pie and vanilla ice cream.

It was not the meal that was strange,but that he chose his meal to be 48 hours before his execution so he could fast before his final day.

If there is a life after death, I hope those that have learned and practiced better actions since those mistakes are allowed a second chance for rebirth.

I am not sure if Gardner found peace,but I do respect the fasting and admitting of his wrongs. I can not get that from people still living and breathing on this earth.

No one likes to take blame for his or her rotten actions. It takes guts to do that. People rather point fingers and lie instead. So those applauding the death of someone, you should seat back and think on that. We all have a judgement day. And I find this firing squad execution revolting.

Can we all just get along? : Opinion on the Gaza Strip Blockade.

By Briana Booker

 Lately the news has been giving me a major headache. What the hell is wrong with the world? What I have to say next will piss some people off,but someone has to do it, right?

 This Israel and Egypt blockade of the Gaza Strip is a bunch of bullshit- point blank, period. It is not benefiting anyone! This blockade has been going on since 2007 and we are now in 2010!  Hamas' power needs to be destroyed  but not by this means!

How the hell did the world watch ( which is starting to be a political and social trend of global crisis) Hamas take over this Palestinian territory and the government? This is ridiculous but I will let myself answer my own question.

This happened because the world allows conflicts to boil to a point of no return. This goes for this oil spill too. There is always some fault in decision making and actions that allows a disaster to happen.

Recently, the news on the oil spill has revealed that the well was in need of repairs and more maintenance monitoring in March. Now, we have a full blown disaster on our hands!

 The Gaza Strip is a full blown disaster on our hands.

 The Gaza Strip is too important for Israel to think a blockade will be the solution to being secure and not  hated in the Middle East. In fact, I do not think Israel cares about that.

It is too busy believing it is the chosen state role model for all humanity ( or so I have been told in a history of Israel class I took up in college) to realize these tactics are not working on a reputable level of leadership and honor.

From individual to state, to be in harmony with ones self and the community surrounding, one must learn to work with others rather than against others. This blockade is not about resolving a problem but increasing a power trip.

The Gaza strip has land borders with Israel and Egypt. Both states mostly keep their borders sealed. This is very problematic for civilians living within the Gaza Strip because there are shortages with invaluable goods. The amount of goods presently going into the Gaza Strip are only 1/4 of the amount of goods before the blockade.

When people are looking to simply survive, every man is for himself.

The Gaza strip is full of poverty, starvation, violence and death. No one deserves or wants to live in that state of mind.

I find it purely selfish of both Israel and Egypt to have sea blockades (Israel) and underground steel barriers ( Egypt) to prevent children and women from receiving basic supplies.

How many lives have to be lost to "prevent" Palestinian rocket attacks? I still see Hamas using weapons.

This story line sounds familiar to the ghettos and concentration camps Jewish people suffered in Europe. Was not that a blockade?

Agricultural productivity down. Economic instability, up.

Everyone is so busy hating each other and desiring an upper hand, that we honestly have forgotten the word of God to love.

Both sides say they believe and live in  the word of God,but their actions are greatly contradicting.

My advice is to lower down those egos, increase in maturity and warm those rotten hearts. It is easier to hate than to love.

I don't want to be a hater no more: How to stop drinking Hatorade or prevent hatred from overpowering your life!

By Briana Booker

Now,there are two kinds of haters in the world, one with logical reasoning and one with bitch ass reasoning. You have logical reason to hate someone when the person has done you dead wrong. Prime examples would be scamming you out of funds, having an affair with your significant other or someone that always tries to get over on you but when it comes to doing you a favor he or she is no where in sight. If you know people like that, you simply need to drop them out your life. As the saying goes, " we ain't partners and we damn sure ain't friends."

But if you are a bitch ass hater, you fall into a different category. You just hate because someone appears to have something you want. You want to see the person you hate fail. You pray about bad things happening to him or her. And of course, when you see the person you grin real hard and go " But I really do like ___." If you have ever done this to anyone, without cause, other than the person being fierce or bad ass, please bitch slap yourself like Rick  James, R&B singer, slapped Charlie Murphy!

I pray for people that fit in the bitch ass category. I have worked with some. I have lived with some. I have gone to school with some. And I laugh every time I spot one because I always know he or she  is better off being real than fake. If you hate someone, just tell the person and explain why. You will feel better for it, trust me.

But on a serious note, for those who want to be saved from the Hater epidemic, you just need a dose of Shake them hater demons off you session! This blog is made to enrich people. If you are lying to yourself that you are not a hater, then you are not living the best potential life you can live. You are restraining yourself from greatness! You are consuming yourself with your jealousy and envy.

You are spending too much time on making yourself look small and making the person you hate look tall. Nothing is ever good enough for you and you most likely surround yourself around negative people. There is no way a truly positive person has the time or energy to be a hater.

When you strive to be your best, there will always be haters attracted to your swag. This is why you have to be very cautious of the company you surround yourself around. Be careful of whom you share your blessings and your dreams with in life. Sadly, some people pray on harm coming your way.

Some people simply hate and can not handle seeing someone have blessings come his or her way. It is dangerous to be that hateful and probably does a real working on your soul or makes your face age quicker.
Real talk. If your creator wanted you to be like someone else, the creator would have given you exactly what that person has,both the good and bad gifts.

When I feel a slight hatred of someone or bitter, i stop myself and think, I do not know what that person had to go through to get what he or she has at present. You should never see some one's glory and want that but can not handle his or her story.

Grass looks greener? The damn water bill is probably sky high! You can check this out from a run down neighborhood to a prestigious neighborhood. The better looking lawn is never cheap.

So, my best of advice to bitch ass haters are as followed:


1. Learn to have an actual relationship with your creator. Appreciate what you do have and stop being a bitch ass about what you do not have in your life. Make your ungrateful ass a list if you have to or ask someone hating on you what is good about your life. You usual can find out by his or her smart ass remarks or what he or she gossips about to other people about you. It works like a charm.

2. Light up a room when you walk in it. Show that you can bring good to both yourself and all those you touch. Get your gear together. Make a bad-ass nick name for yourself. Be a Beyonce, shy in person but bad ass when it is time to perform and put that A-game face on!

3. Start your own business.

You can never go wrong with self-initiative. Never.

4. Tell a man/woman to get lost (if he/she are not about the right thing).

The past few months i have been cutting dead weight out of my life. I feel like i can breath now and I am doing far better because i cut those people out my life! It is hard to kill old habits, but when you do, learning to fly with your wings is a taste of heaven.

5. Do not ask for a dime from Anyone.

Learn to be independent. Stand your own ground. If you do not, people are sure to rub it in your face when you are down and out. This is a sure sign of a hater in your presence.

6. Haters don't want to see you happy.

Learn to bring your own happiness. Learn to be happy in your own skin. Learn to be you and not an off brand of you.

7. Haters don't want to see you succeed

So strive to be the best you can be!

8. Haters don't want you to get the victory

So work hard to gain your victories.

For those of you, not haters at all,  here is how to handle your haters:

You have to handle your hater by realizing sometimes those haters are the people labeling themselves as on your side.

1. Knowing who you are and who your true friends are at all times helps!

2. Find your life purpose. I do not know how you will do this,but do this. We all have different purposes.

3. Remember what you have in your life. You are divine as a human when you do not lower yourself to human manipulation. 

When you do these 3 things, you will have a more fulfilling life. And do not think a job is going to get you there. You can have the best job in the world and still be unfulfilled as a person. To discover purpose, you have to find the calling your creator gave to you.

Fulfill your own dreams, not the dreams and definitions others have pushed upon you.
I live life like this:

I only have one life to live. I want to take my last dose of oxygen and feel at ease that I lived my life to its full potential, without too much regret. I lived a life of more love than hate.

When I see someone hate on me, I go, not my problem. If you do have a problem about how I live and what I have, you should take it up with the being in charge, not me.



SO remember, watch out for haters and do not forget to not become a hater yourself! xoxo.

p.s- I hate the xoxo remark,but it seemed fit to end this article with it. And do not overdose on hatred like this one....
