Someone help me because I just got a new iPhone 4 and am finally super hooked up on my commute. I’m like texting, calling, listening to streaming podcasts, searching for spots to eat on Yelp, and finding my way from place to place with Google Maps. And right when all this happiness comes into my life, Senate Bill 360 is signed into Georgia law.

How ironic I should find out about the new law than on my way back from a ranch style ho’ down family reunion for the 4th of July in Tennessee. I was driving south on 75 and get a text message from my MOM saying, “Be careful you can get a fine for texting and driving now!” Indeed, effective July 1, you can get a $150 fine and 1 point against your driver’s record if you are caught doing the text thing. RUBISH!

I’m kind of mad, I kind of understand, but mostly I’m just confused. There are all these stupid things about the bill, like a 1 month grace period (you won’t really get fined or anything until August 1) and primarily, how are they suppose to enforce this? What does and doesn’t count as ‘texting’. The law says verbatim:

“No person shall operate a motor vehicle on any public road or highway of this state while using a wireless telecommunications device to write, send, or read any text based communication, including but not limited to a text message, instant message, electronic mail, or Internet data.”

… but that really isn’t doing so much for me. What does and doesn’t count when it comes to using my phone for ‘Internet data’. Don’t you know I’m a digital girl in a digital world? When am I not unlimited in my Internet data. Oh please someone tell me tweeting isn’t the same as texting! hahaha.

At last, I need some clarification. If you or anyone you know… knows whether or not it is legal to do the following things on your ‘telecommunications device’ while driving in a moving car, please let me know.

1) Using your GPS device – For the most part I’ve read that this is still ok, but don’t I still have to type in shit?

2) Call my momma – Again, I haven’t read anything against using your phone as a phone, but don’t I have to type in shit to make a call?

3) Look up a restaurant on Yelp – I’m not exactly browsing the Internet, but I’m still using the Internet, and I have to type in shit.

4) Check in on 4Square in the drive through of Chic-fil-a – Again, I’m not really browsing the Internet, but definitely using up that data plan!

5) Using my phone to stream a PodCast I didn’t have time to download – Not browsing the Internet, but definitely using the Internet and having to type shit in to find the podcast I wanna listen to.

6) Tweeting.. not the same as texting yo!

Finally at the end of the day, can someone clarify if driving includes if I am stopped at a red light? I always get mad at people when they are texting and driving with me in the passenger seat, and they always try to use a stoplight as some type of compromise.

Well if you know the answer to any of those scenarios, please let me know. I’m really only looking for a yes for it’s legal or a no it’s not legal. Also any of your thoughts on this new law, if your pissed or support it… I want to know!

I started fem-fATL about a year and a half ago with my good friends @UrbanSocial and @ijustwannab. In recent months, we picked up the talented and cute @atlcutii. Together the four of us have been holding it down on ATL fashion, arts, entertainment, dating, nightlife, careers, you name it. From the beginning, fem-fATL was about fun and friendship. It was an outlet to talk about everything under the sun that we cared to talk about and we found relevant to our home town people: ATL, GA. For me there have always been at least two core principles to fem-fATL and what we stand for:

1) Sorority

I’ve been teased about my sorority metaphor so many times, but it’s true! fem-fATL is certainly open to males, females, and other but our niche is for women like us 18-35, career driven, social, into culture, and outgoing. When I write, I write with my ladies out there in mind. Some of our most loyal readers are other ladies and we really appreciate the love. It’s easy for women to hate on each other, but I’ve found fem-fATL to be a much more positive place. I have felt on so many occasions a sense of support, loyalty, and kindness from our female readers. I feel like us ATL women just click when it comes to what we want and expect from our city, the things to do in this city, and well guys of course. We all have the same pain points as young women living in this sometimes exciting, other times boring, other times annoying, sometimes wonderful city.

When I was younger I was one of those girls who meshed better with guys. I had trouble making friends with girls because I was always so competitive and I saw other girls as some type of threat. Luckily for me, I’ve gotten past all that lameness and have found amazing female friends who no guy could ever come close to. That understanding of sorority or sisterhood is essential to fem-fATL. We are female based blog that deals primarily with female topics of interest. I’ve always wanted our female readers to feel like they are one of our home-girls, that they have a place to contribute on fem-fATL, that they are indeed fem-fATLs and everything a fem-fATL stands for. If you are a female reader out there, we invite you to submit ideas for posts or events.

2) Atlanta Community

When we started fem-fATL we trapped ourselves in a corner with the choice of our name. Our name and logo is a play on Atlanta of course and very difficult to expand into anything more general. Trapped isn’t the right word, because we made Atlanta our focus on purpose. We wanted to offer relevancy to our readers by contextualizing everything we had to say within our city. For me the specifics about people, places, and culture makes the information we provide more relevant, fun, and different from all the other general things out there on fashion, dating, etc. Having to constrain ourselves on Atlanta topics is often a challenging thing, but the constraint forces us to explore the people and places we come across everyday. Since starting fem-fATL the city has become something much more wonderful than I originally thought. I roll my eyes at people who find themselves bored in Atlanta. There is plenty of exciting things to see and do if you keep an open mind and allow yourself to find the city’s hidden gems.

Atlanta is a funny city with funny people and attitudes. A dating column in a magazine like Glamour or Cosmo can’t possibly explain what it’s like trying to date in this environment- their audience is general women where ours is specific to Atlanta Women. I like to think there is value in that specificity and our personal perspectives and experiences.

Our focus on Atlanta means support, support, support for our local businesses and individuals. We try as much as possible to get the good word out there for shops, restaurants, galleries, and venues we love to go to. We’re looking out for you ATLANTA! Finally what’s a city without it’s populous. One of things we find the most fun on fem-fATL is providing space to talk about our city’s movers, shakers, good lookers, next big things, and bachelor’s! Our blog is just as much about other people living in Atlanta as it is about ourselves.

We will always be a female perspective about Atlanta, hence the name fem-fATL.

Atlanta street artists made a big statement, catching attention in the Atlanta community and online. Check out this time lapse video of two Atlanta artists cleaning up the Krog Street bridge to make a very pronounced message: FU BP.

Maybe Later

Recently at work I’ve been digging up some audience research for a new campaign. As a part of my research I’ve been looking at recent marriage statistics. Marriage isn’t a topic I’m particularly interested in except that I just watched the second installation of Sex & the City and it too is all about marriage. Marriage seems to be a big topic suddenly. My mom for some strange reason keeps hinting to me that one day I will be quote: 40, single, and alone. Luckily I have 18 years to disprove her, so I’ll table the idea for the next few years. I always like to prove a point, so in the meantime I’ll use my marketing research as ammunition against my mom’s empty nest syndrome and premature desire for grand-babies (yeah that too). A mother really knows how to freak you out.

The more educated you are, the more likely you are to be married.
Opposite of what you thought? It was a surprise to me too. Overall since the 1970s, the US population has become more educated and marriage rates have dropped. However, among US born 30 to 44 year olds, the more educated you are, the more likely you are to be married (and happily married). What’s the reason? More educated people are more likely to marry for companionship and love, and not for financial security. College educated women tend to marry later, have fewer children, and are least likely to divorce. Hmm… sounds like somebody I know.

On the contrary, less educated people are more likely to get divorced!

College educated men tend to marry college educated women
People are most likely to marry someone whose education level is the same as their own. What does this mean? Well it directly correlates with dolla dolla bills yo. The more educated you are the more likely you are to have a higher income. Educated attracts educated so the aftermath is the addition of two higher incomes. Not only are you more well off if you are college educated, but even more so when you get married! Money can’t buy you happiness, but if less educated people = less income = more divorce, well neither can no money. When I decide to think about a marriage and potentially children, you know other people then myself, I like the idea of things not being difficult but enjoyable. So for me, its better to work on my grind now and getting to a place where such things come naturally to me (natural in the not unexpected way).

So the future’s looking bright for me. I’m going to one day be happily married with lots of money. See ma, you’ve got nothing to worry about. You can live with me one-day and watch my kids if I have any. Except for one other side-note… what if I don’t want any of that? What if I’m perfectly happy being 40, single, and alone? Who knows, maybe I’m more of a Samantha Jones – minus the voracious appetite for sexual liaisons.

From National Geographic

Spring time means that another class of our young bodied generation will be graduating and looking for jobs soon. You’ve already conquered the difficult part of educating yourself for the last 4 or so years, so why is looking for a job one of the biggest challenges you have to face? It’s a combination of things of course: the pressure to get the big money, the anxiety of rejection, lack of industry knowledge, compromising your happiness in a career, and overall inexperience among other things.

But, you have to do it anyway so you  might as well learn some tactics to be stealth about your job hunt. I’m going to avoid some cliche tips like spiffying up your resume, branding yourself, cleaning up your Facebook profile, and getting on LinkedIn. You should know these things from a simple how to get a job 101 google search. These are my strategies below:

1. Survey the Environment

From National Geographic

First, if you aren’t already aware of all your industry networks, you need to get on it. You have to do your research on the people, companies, and happenings in your field. Join forums and networking organizations that you can get on an emailing list and get updates. More than likely, there will be a ‘job posting’ or ‘opportunity’ section of the organization where you are going to get job tips. It’s like knowing what time the fish are feeding. What’s the point of going fishing at 3PM, when the fish are only biting at 8AM?

For example, in my field I’m on the following networks:
Interaction Design Association
Atlanta Interactive Marketing Association
Rhizome http://rhizome.org/

I should also note that the different organizations are really quite different from each other and will give me insight into different types of opportunities. IXDA provides professional practice tips and opportunities, AIMA is a more local focused network, and Rhizome is geared towards art practice. If I were looking for a job right now… I’d feel anything but insecure because of all the combined opportunity listings I hear about alone from these networks.

2. Set the Trap

From National Geographic

Wouldn’t it be amazing if you didn’t even have to go about searching for a job, but was just recommended? Stealth tip #2 is to act like a tree. Just kidding, but you know the types of predators that blend in with their environment, then when the prey least expects it, they are already inside the belly of the beast. Not saying you are evil, but the tactic is to attract your prospects to you. This means setting up a series of flashing pointing arrows directing back to your head and providing multiple points of contact. No really! You need to set traps everywhere that is going to be relevant to getting your name and information to people in your industry. That means have a personal website hosting your resume and portfolio, set up a blog with personal insights pertaining to your industry, a professional twitter account where you tweet smart things, oh and you know those industry networks I made you join already? Make sure you are participating in forums, asking questions, posting advice, etc. Companies have human resource departments and are actively recruiting new talent. If you have those flashing arrows, someone is going to eventually follow the path that leads straight back to you.

3. Catch them off Guard

From National Geographic

If you are cocky, like me, then you don’t even wait for job postings. You find the companies you like, and you send them your resume with a cover letter! You’d be suprised, at how many companies don’t even know they need to hire you. If they really aren’t hiring, they will let you know and will file your resume for a later day. But, once in a while you are going to spark some interest by catching them off guard alone. The main point is to be proactive. The more times your resume gets in front of a prospective employer, the more times you interview, well all the more times you develop stealth about the job search. Also, you never know in this economy when job loss is going to catch you off guard. So being proactive also means maintaining your stealth and always being on the prowl, even when you already have a job. You should always have your resume up to date and invest some time in those industry networks to know the current state of things. When you decide to go back on the hunt, the best type of prowl is one that is not rusty.

Good luck

“HotLANTA” is not the case this weekend in ATL.

So instead of complaining about the random snow flurries get your ass up & spend the weekend in a productive way rather than being lazy!!

Winter Cleanse

It’s time to let go and gather up those items of clothing that you know your never going to wear. It’s time that you pack that shit up & donate it. No point of keeping items that someone else could be rockin.

Wii Battles

DJ Hero, Rock Band, Guitar Hero break em’ out! Have a house battle with your friends & family. Personally I can’t get down with the color coordination, but I do find the competition fun!

Reading Rainbow?

Don’t act like your too good for a book. Checking your e-mail should not be your source for daily reading. If you need some recommendations check out the Barnes & Noble Best Seller List. I recommend reading Youth in Revolt by C.D Payne, about a funny ass & blunt 14 year old boy seeking a chance to lose his virginity in any way possible.

CheF-ATL

Look up some cheap & easy recipes and expand your kitchen skills. You can’t go wrong with food and it is a great way to get the heart of your special Valentine, even if you are your own Valentine!

Show Some Lovin!

Call up your family & friends. Show them how much you care & find out what’s been going on in their lives outside of social network sites. Even if it’s your aunties-play brothers-cousin! It’s always good to keep in touch.

Procrastinator’s Cure

Don’t put off all your studying until the day before your exam. Get a head start and study now! That way you will be more prepared for class and A++ that test! That goes for projects, presentations & work loads!

Sweet Tweet

Make a Twitter! If you haven’t done it yet then you REALLY need to get on it! This is a great way to keep in touch with your friends & family and get an closer insight on people’s lives…&& be sure to follow me! @atlcutii

Showtime

If your missed your favorite show or feel like watching an old ass episode of “Bewitched” check out Hulu. I recommend watching “Modern Family” if your looking for a good laugh!

I hope everyone can find a great way to spend the weekend! But most of all be safe!! && It’s Valentine’s weekend so that means WRAP IT UP!

Everyone knows times are hard these days which also means that money is tighter than skinny jeans on Precious. Whether you are a 9-5 worker, college student, or a regular person trying to make ends meet, we are all waiting for that one day where all of our finances are no longer a worry. The one day where you can just go out and say the 5 words “Put it on my tab” instead of the 5 embarrassing words “Your card has been declined.”

For most of us Spring is when the sign of relief comes because it all works out when you receive that big ass check. The only problem is that once we get it, it’s gone sooner than Stevie Wonder’s hairline…with nothing to show for it. You can’t see where your check went just like how Stevie can’t see that his hairline is past his ears.  So after evaluating my own expenses as well as observing other’s, I’ve came up with a few realistic ways to control your spending.

1. Lenox Lovers
Stay far far far away. Look in your closet; I know that you have a few items that still have tags on them. Put them in a shopping bag and take them back out like it’s brand new. For all the ladies, take your old clothes and re-design them into something new. For all the males, take your old shoes and clean them dammit! You don’t need a new outfit for every event, I can guarantee your Facebook friends don’t give a damn if you rewear you profile pic. Trying to stay up with the latest trends are not that important, you can make yourself look more unique by developing your own style from within your closet…. you definitely don’t need to spend unnecessary cash.

2. Upgrade!!
Go ahead and buy it, but don’t complain next month there is another phone that you just have to have. All you need is a working phone, that outputs & receives, and that allows you to dial 911…if its that damn serious get yourself a jitterbug. The way it looks right now everyone tweets for free more than they text, meaning a full service plan for excessive and unlimited texting might be pointless. But buying a new phone is pointless, cause at the end of the day it does that same thing as that your first Nokia with the monophonic ringtones that’s sittin in your mommas basement.

3. “Im Lovin It”
Same menu, new day. Spend your money wisely by grocery shopping and cook for yourself. McDonalds is just a lazy excuse for wanting a fast, quick, greasy meal that is not considerably good for “left-overs” compared to a home-cooked meal that can be re-heated and taste just as good as the day before.

4. Magic City Mondays
If you want to see a half-naked body, take a second and check Bossip to see the next Amber Rose photo. There is no need to spend money every week to see some ass when it’s all over the internet. Check Bossip daily, a new day, a new hoe (j/k).

5. Gifts
Some people feel the need to always give back, which is a good thing. But everyone has a creative mind, use it and create a gift. There is no need to get your loved ones and friends gifts every time you get your hands on some extra cash. With all the holidays coming up, it’s time to show how much you really care. Instead of spending, give them something from the heart…it just better not be made out of macaroni and Elmer’s glue.

6. “Makin it Rain”
Okayyy! Its 2010… If I see you throwing money in the club I am going to look at you like the dumb ass that you are. Buying out the bar? You are not Trey Songz and girls aren’t going to “Say Ahh”, so keep your money to yourself. Females don’t like it when men exaggerate about money, so be classy, buy the lady a drink and let your personality do the rest.

7. Super Bowl Sunday
This year don’t do all the planning yourself. Have a party, but make it a “BYOB” event. Don’t just let your friends lounge around without pitching in. Enforce the BYOB rule, remind them that if they don’t bring a drink they will be sitting there watching you drink yours.  Keep in mind that at the end of the day YOU’RE the one paying the electric bill for all the TV’s used, and water bill for each time that toilet flushes.

So hopefully these 7 Sins of Spending Your Refund check will teach you to keep your ass at home and invest your money wisely. Take it from someone who’s been there, someone who knows about being a broke ass college student…shit I’m still there!

Fem-fATL.com has been up and running since only march of last year. In just a few short months we’ve shared wild times, advice, stories, pictures, and videos. We are really having fun with this; which was the original intent. We appreciate you (our readers) insanely; like we really have a crush on you.

Only because I’m in this reminiscent mood and in need of some female empowerment. I wanted to revisit the definition of  fem-fATL. We consider many of our readers fem-fATLs or fem-faMales (hehe). Actually guys, no worries if you peek at our blog- our fan base is primarily male anyway and we appreciate your insight. Most of the time we just use the blog as a way to reach out and grab advice from you out there and so our readers are more than page counts, they are truly contributors to what is that we do. It’s more like love then a crush I’d say.
In our about section, this is how we define  fem-fATL:

fem-fATL
[fem - fuh - tail]

-noun: an irresistibly attractive woman in ATL, esp. one who blogs on a site called  fem-fATL.com; hot & sexy; fresh & contemporary; diverse & eclectic; futuristic & social

-noun: A female perspective on arts & entertainment, lifestyle, nightlife, music, fashion, relationships, technology, news, issues, etc. in our city of Atlanta.

By the way, check out the about section if you haven’t already for more information on each of our contributing writers. But now let’s get to meat of this whole thing. I think we should expand a bit on this whole  fem-fATL notion. So here are a few things you should know:

1. We are Georgia Peaches meaning that we are sweet. In fact, sometimes we are too nice to all you stuck up beepses.  A flash came to me the other day and basically it was just that. Why are people such f***ing stuck up beepses and assholes? I don’t care how good looking you are or what type of designer shit you have on, your shit still stinks, and if you are stuck up about it your personality stinks too. We’ll be nice regardless since we are sweet and that’s the least you can do in social situations.

2. We are Southern Belles. So of course  fem-fATL is a derivative of femme fatale; the double crossing seductive charm type of lady from classic film noir. Well it just so happens that southern belles are the worst kind of femme fatales. We are classy in the Scarlet O’Hara Gone with the Wind Antebellum lady kind of way and we might even carry a little southern twang. Southern belles epitomize the southern hospitality, cultivation of beauty and a flirtatious yet chaste demeanor. We just got it like that. Sorry if we double wammy you with our fatal southern belle attraction.

3. We represent that OHS. Don’t let our flirty/chaste demeanor mislead you  because our fem-fATL clique represents that OHS –> meaning we graduated from Osborne Highschool in Marietta, GA. It also means you don’t want to mess with us.. we have that fight in us. Seriously I think ‘Knuck if you Buck’ was one of our class songs, our marching band use to play booty poppin on a handstand anthems, and our cheerleading squad was a step team. Were definitely were not recognized for our football team, because we NEVER won football games. We probably had the first daycare center in the country for teen parents and I won’t mention some of the hideous crimes. Here’s a blurb to sum it up:

“Osborne has the highest gang rape rate, the lowest SAT score, and the highest pregnancy rate in all of Cobb County.” (http://www.city-data.com/forum/georgia/4964-info-marietta.html)

So… never under estimate a woman with a college degree who came out of Osborne Highschool. And basically, if we can’t throw punches ourselves, we got hood rat pals from back in the day who got our back and nothing better to do (J/K…but not really).

4. We are Boot Strap Puller Uppers. To follow up on that last point, each and every one of our  fem-fATL team is an educated independent woman. We all have our own spots, jobs, cars, everything that a person needs. And we did it all by pulling ourselves up by our own boot straps, because yes we came from a pretty ghetto high school and not the best of circumstances ourselves. We are aggressive in obtaining and achieving our goals. We aren’t the kids of rich bitches who had shit handed to them. We pretty much didn’t have shit except the shit we made. I’ve been working a regular job since before I had a driver’s permit. We are not just party girls (although we do like to party); we are all working, successful, and genuine. We all have graduated from college or are finishing up. I’m even finishing my master’s degree this fall. Whether or not you find a college degree important, it shows that we have follow through and can finish a project or something we have our mind set on. In case you wondered what our day job was: UrbanSocialite is a consultant sales mgr for a fortune 500, justB is a mother, student, and social worker, and I’m an interaction designer (experience architect, experience designer, whatever you want to call it) for an Atlanta interactive marketing agency.

4. We are Women of Colour. We are multiplicities of diversity. As a collective people think we are dominican, puerto rican, mexican, armenian, lebanese, italian, german, korean, etc. We represent the united colors of benetton, the united states of america, the united independents of  fem-fATL. Being a woman of colour is a perspective that is fundamental to our blog. It is afterall a female perspective on all things Atlanta. Being a woman of colour is a particular type of perspective that is defined by what we are not.. not white, not male. We are disparate (fundamentally different; marked distinctly in quality or character) and our taste in everything fashion, music, and men is just as diverse. Yet, we can all agree on some good hip hop beats, mac makeup, and fried calamari. Also, we keep it real with each other and with our readers.

It feels good to be a  fem-fATL. I hope you feel like you are one too. You don’t have to rep by throwing up the fem-fATL sign in pics; although that would be cool. We only hope you feel like one of our homies, feel connected with our definition or share a similar one (or not at all but just really like us). We like you after all.

Haiti from Goldi Gold

fem-fATL would like to give our best wishes to all of those affected by the hurricane in Haiti.  It is always a devastating situation when places are affected by natural disasters, meaning the people who live there and their families who live far away, some in Atlanta, are affected equally.  We are all struggling in our own individual lives, however it is apparent that these families are in a much worse situation.  This is your chance to give a helping hand where many are needed.  Clean out your closets with us for old clothes and shoes, find a couple of canned goods, or maybe $5 that you were going to by a happy meal with… and donate!  If you have items but don’t have time to find the following locations, email one of the fem-fATL members and we will gladly transport items for you.  Check out the locations provided by 11alive news where you can help support the vicitims of the hurricane.

Below is a list of some of the disaster relief and non-governmental organizations.  Always do your own checking before donating to any organization. 

One way of checking is to see what the Better Business Bureau has found out about it.  Go to www.bbb.org/charity, and type in the name of the charity to see if the BBB has a report on it.  If the BBB does not have a report on it, or if the BBB recommends against donating to a particular charity, you might want to do further checking before giving your money.  You may have your own good report about a charity that the BBB rejects.  For example, the BBB likes some of the charities listed below and does not like some of them:

• You can make a donation through the American Red Cross’ International Response Fund, and it will be allocated specifically for Haiti relief efforts;
• Action Against Hunger has mobilized an emergency response and has teams already on the ground, assessing and responding to needs;
• Mercy Corps has a way for you to donate your money straight to their efforts in Haiti, and Unicef also has a donation site set up;
• The United Nations World Food Program has teams “already on the scene, mobilizing emergency food assistance to families.” To support these efforts, you can make an emergency donation here;
• Operation Blessing International also has disaster relief teams on the way. A donation of $50 or more will bring emergency food, water, medicine and more to the quake victims;
• Project HOPE, which provide medical supplies and health care services to those in need, is seeking donations for their aid efforts in Haiti;
• The Salvation Army is also sending personnel and supplies to assist in the relief effort, and is in need of donations;
• Yele, an organization set up by musician Wyclef Jean, a native Haitian, is an additional option.

Anthony Sowell - MURDERER

I wanted to take two seconds out of my day to let you know something that you should know: the Not Guilty by insanity plea means GUILTY. The plea rarely works and the reason is because its the excuse that murderers pull out of their ass because they have no excuse. I have a morbid fascination and so I’ve been following the Anthony Sowell case, the alleged murderer of 11 women in Ohio. He killed all these women and buried them in and around his house. His neighborhood wrenched for years and nobody did anything about it. Sowell served 15 years in prison for rape and attempted murder and was released around 2004 I think.

What is interesting to me is that 1] I don’t have a clear memory of a serial killer in my lifetime so this is the first serial killing case to affect me and 2] dude is black! I seriously thought serial killers were only crazy old white dudes… It goes to show that you should not cater to stereotypes and be more open minded, especially when it comes to such sensitive topics…. you might get yourself killed! I’m being silly now, but back on the interesting facts about this case… another thing that intrigued me was that all of the murderers victims were black women. When I looked at the very brief bios of these women they were mostly identified because they had criminal records for drug abuse. Most of them were also mothers. I sort of think that some of the women were prostitutes. I mean dude is not attractive and his house reeks.  No woman would continue to see and develop a relationship with a dude with obvious B.O. Many reports talked about how foul he smelled. I mean living with dead corpses would seem to leave a stench on the skin. GROSS!

Obviously the guy is insane to commit murder. He is at least way past being awkward! I think that pleading insanity confirms his guilt. I can’t imagine trying to defend a murderer. How do you put yourself in the mind of a murderer? How do you justify it? Such a weird thing.
