Plan And Execution

 



     He was a lawyer, and my first impression of him was he was snotty and cocky. But he was handsome, always dressed to kill, eloquent, and really great in his field. But then, due to maneuverings of some people, a husband and wife (actually, both lawyers, too, whom I really like, too) his reputation suddenly came crashing down.

     And as he confronted the hustling husband and wife team, my impression of him changed. It was the first time he looked a bit shabby. And I realized he really wasn’t haughty and annoying, it was a sort of a cover for some shitty things happening to his personal life, to his relationship with his wife. And I started to like him and cheer him on. I thought he seemed a really great guy. Yes, he could be a hustler, too, but he hustled only because he really just wanted to help his firm.

     And just when I started admiring him—BANG!

     A bullet from a silenced gun went to his head.

     I jerked in my seat as he collapsed to the floor—lifeless.

     I just sat there, shocked and unable to move.

     I couldn’t remember being that mortified and unnerved seeing somebody killed, as I had seen too many deaths already. And as I went to social media, I saw a lot people expressing their grief and shock, too, towards his death.

     And I, like a lot of people, could relate to the fact that life screwed him big time.

     Rest in peace, Howard Hamlin.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
