Reason First: Doctor Hill’s Alleged and Deadly Orders
In 1972, an assailant silenced the life of Dr. John Robert Hill in his home. In time, the assassin would be tagged as Bobby Vandiver. He made a case saying that Ash Robinson, the Texas oil tycoon whose daughter became the wife of Dr. Hill years earlier should have been culpable. Negating all of this, a policeman gunned down Vandiver without him giving a full testimony as to how he received $5,000 from Robinson.

Nighthawkers part 2
Today i awoke in a good mood, no particular reason other than I had finally had a chance to go metal detecting a couple of days ago and it did me the world of good mentally, physically I am still in pain and think I may have bruised or pulled something in my right hip but that aside, two days ago I was sitting in a field with a beautiful vista, a magnificent Buzzard hovering very close and a cheese and onion sandwich in my hand.

At all cost, don't lose yourself
“It's in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” Anthony Robbins I got home feeling extremely exhausted. Baseball practice ran for three hours straight and I have this chemistry test tomorrow. I feel so stressed. Plus, there was some sort of shooting down at the convenience store a couple blocks down. I was not able to do anything. Eat. Sleep. Think straight. As I was getting ready to hit the hay, something struck me. It was my mother’s voice-smooth, soft and mellow like always. It was telling me to always do the right thing no matter what. She was a wonderful woman.

Dr. Bennett Clark Hyde’s Role as the Accused Murderous Physician
Missouri state law limits the amount of trials to three. This would prove crucial in this case. Dr. Bennett Clark Hyde, in 1910, experienced the cold steel of justice around his wrists for his suspected role in the murders of Colonel Thomas Hunton Swope and Chrisman Swope. Investigators had found traces of strychnine and cyanide in their bodies and alleged that Dr. Hyde had been responsible for poisoning them.

Monica's Lie
The days between when my Dad came and picked me up were far and in between. I lived with my Mother and her lifestyle was enough to make the hardest junkie cringe. She was a hard drunk; hard for her to stop and even harder for her to not whip our ass when she was past drunk. This woman would grab anything that looked like it would tear through my dark skin. She was mean. I loved her, but she was mean.

Beginning of Life We all are the same at the beginning of our journey of life because we have no thought and knowledge about anything, no belief, etc. When we grew up, we feel different from other people because of our perception, and because of our social paradigm. Some grow up with a beautiful mind, some grow up with an evil mind.
