Well, my vacation is winding down to the last few days. It's been amazing cool -- 15-20 degrees below average and cloudy a lot. The bathing suit has been covered by summer sweatsuits most of the time, with an odd day warming up, but it has been good to be away from routine!
Here are a few snapshots. Check out the diving pelican fishing for his meal. We saw group of them fishing yesterday. That was a sight to see!
If you were here right now, you'd be bundled up and in the background you'd hear the roar of the crashing waves like a never ending storm... a beauty all of its own.
See you in a week and a few days!

Just a snapshot of vacation for you! I told you if you found that umbrella, you'd find me sitting under it LOL. I really do have that umbrella! I'm having a GREAT TIME. I just can't wrap my brain around the fact it is the week before Christmas. It feels like July.
Oh, and it feels like I am on a deserted island because this place is truly deserted, which frankly to me, is fabulous!! According to the locals, no one shows up for another week, and then it becomes high season. Who knew?!
Happy Holidays to each of you...Eyes

It's official! I'm going on vacation. I'm taking off later this week, and I will be gone until the New Year. I'm going to hit the beach. Yes, right there -- they reserved a spot for me! If you find that umbrella, you'll likely find me sitting under it.
I will be back the first week of January. I plan on taking my computer with me, but I don't plan on blogging unless a case is too irresistible for me!
Happy Holidays to all of you who make this blog everything that it is! See you in 2010! I hope I come back invigorated and excited to blog another year!
Cheers ~ Eyes
P.S. If I do post because it is too irresistible for me, I will change the date of this post to Jan. 3 so it remains on the top of my blog.

With regard to a sociopaths/psychos being innocent, but assumed guilty because of their aloof behavior, I actually think it is remote, though of course, plausible. Why do I think that? It's two fold. The average sociopath is usually very intelligent. They are master manipulators. They can usually convinced most people they are telling the truth when they are, in fact, lying. They are much wiser than most, so the likelihood they would get "dumb" all of the sudden in a hot bed situation and fail to convince people, especially when they are innocent, seems unlikely to me. It seem very remote. People like this usually thrive on confrontation, challenge and difficult situations. They aren't ones to buckle under pressure unless they believe the world discovered they aren't as smart as they thought they were.
Second, sociopaths do feel emotions -- their own emotions. There is no doubt about that. Get a sociopath mad and watch the fury. Once you've seen it, you will never forget it. With that, accuse a sociopath of something they didn't do and you will likely see anger-- very notable anger, unless they are guilty. You are likely to see revenge, too. But when they are guilty, and they are lying, they play the sweet innocent "master manipulator's game" of "I'm a nice guy". Think of Drew Peterson. Think of Scott Peterson, think of Ted Bundy. It's so against their manipulative character, it is the biggest red flag there is.
With that, why haven't we seen any anger in Amanda at all? Its absolutely missing and it makes no sense for someone who is innocent. She keeps playing the poor innocent victim, but we know Amanda's character from all we've seen was anything but sweet and innocent.

On another note... does anyone have the short stories that were once posted on Amanda Knox's MySpace blog when she was arrested? The one where she wrote about rape? I'd like to see those again.

While I don't know that Amanda is guilty of outright murder, I personally believe she had some knowledge or involvement on some level with this crime. Her behaviors were too out there and inconsistent to support complete innocence. Her story of covering her ears still haunts me to this day. People don't create such incredible stories out of thin air that aren't logical unless they are twisting reality. You don't cover your ears when you hear a blood-curdling scream unless you know what is going on, but don't want to stop it, or can't stop it (to which she would have confessed). Also, the fact that she pointed a finger at Patrick Lumumba, an African, when in fact it was another African's DNA that was all over the crime scene, is highly unusual for her do, unless she knew more as well.

Brittany Higgs asked her friend, Vincent Marchese, to come with her to the hospital to watch her son. She had back pain. She had left her one year old baby girl with her grandma. Marchese just got out of jail the previous weekend. He then supposedly disappeared with her son, Alexiou, while she was in the exam room saying that he and Alexiou were going to get a drink, but after the drink, they never returned. Once Higgs was discharged, she then called 911 to report her son missing. You can watch Higgs in an interview here.
Marchese tells a very different story in these interviews. He says he told Higgs he was going to take the boy to the park, while she got treatment, but instead took the boy home before stopping at the store to get him bubble gum.
Read moreAccording to police, Marchese was seen at a store with the boy (in video tape survellience), but then got into an altercation with police when they spotted him, fleeing the scene of an accident, and leaving the tot in his crashed car. The tot, Alexiou, wasn't injured.
Someone is obviously lying here. I've watched both of them, and the one who raises the most red flags here is clearly Brittany Higgs.
Higgs is a master at evading questions, if you want my opinion. In this interview, she only says what she feels she has to say. She clearly doesn't want to say anything and just follows along with the reporter agreeing with her more than anything else.
Watch Higgs response to the reporter, when she is asked why she decided to invite Marchese to begin with. Higgs gets very uncomfortable when answering this question, and she is unable to answer it. She obviously doesn't want to tell us the real reason here. She replies, "It was just kind of one of those things, I dunno..."
She repeatedly smiles at odd times, and shrugs her shoulders. She doesn't show fear at all, which is strangely missing.
Watch how many times Higgs purses her lips, which is suggestive that she is holding back thoughts that she doesn't want to share.
Watch Higgs response to the reporter's question, "Why were you friends with him?" She couldn't be anymore squirrely. She finally says, "He never hurt me." Pair that with what Marchese says, that her husband is abusive, and it paints a picture of the truth. I suspect these two were romantically interested in each other as Marchese says.
Then reporter says, "I don't have to tell you, if you've been living around here that some things in the last year or so...did those things cross your mind...?" Higgs replies, "I'm sure they may have..." What? Higgs says whatever she has to just get through the answer. Either the thoughts did or did not cross her mind--saying they "may have" is just babble.
Marchese was supposedly driving his grandmother's van. Was this the vehicle he took the hospital? Did he drive Higgs to the hospital? When asked in the interview if Higgs thought Marchese had a valid driver's license, she said she didn't think so.
Could that be why she is being so evasive? If she admits to police she agreed to let Alexiou go in a vehicle with a man she knew that didn't have a valid driver's license, wouldn't she be the one charged with child neglect or endangerment? It sure makes you wonder.
Did Higgs not have a ride home at that point? Did she get discharged sooner than she thought? To get to the truth, I'd need more info, but at this point, Higgs clearly raises my eyebrows. I have a few questions for Marchese, but not near as many as I have for Higgs!
