Blogging is so fun. I enjoy to blog. That's why I post all of these blog posts. One time I didn't know what to write about so I wrote this. Hahaha. Blogs blogs blogs--that's what I am all about. BlogsRme. I can write whatever I want because my blog is about me!!! I can write anything!!! I love the internet. Thank you Blogspot for giving me the priviledge to blog. Now I can blog until I'm bogged with logs of work, then I can go hog wild and blog some more.

History time

I like history. Here is essay.

Mirana vs. Arizona is a Supreme Court Case, held in 1966, which resulted in the necessity of the “Miranda warning” being given to all arrested individuals. The case was a 5-4 decision.
The case began with the arrest and conviction of Ernest Arturo Miranda. The man was convicted of the kidnapping and rape of an eighteen year old girl based on circumstantial evidence.  After being interrogated for hours by the police, Ernest Miranda eventually confessed to having done the crime. He signed a document that said “I do hereby swear that I make this statement voluntarily and of my own free will, with no threats, coercion, or promises of immunity, and with full knowledge of my legal rights, understanding any statement I make may be used against me”. However, his lawyer objected to the interrogation. Apparently Miranda had not been explicitly informed of his rights. The lawyer claimed that because he had not been explicitly informed, the confession was not truly voluntary and could not be used as evidence in court.  The court overruled the objection and sentenced Miranda to twenty-thirty years in prison on each charge.
The lawyer appealed the case to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court overturned the conviction, declaring that ““procedural safeguards effective to secure the privilege against self-incrimination” and further clarified that “The mere fact that he signed a statement which contained a typed-in clause stating that he had 'full knowledge' of his 'legal rights' does not approach the knowing and intelligent waiver required to relinquish constitutional rights.”
The dissenters claimed that the Court hadn’t the right to add new constitutional rights, when nothing is explicitly stated in the Constitution, prior cases, or common law to support the ruling. Dissenter John Harlan claimed that nothing in the Constitution required such a strict, heavy-handed method of criminals being told their rights.
The Court believed it was a fundamental part of due process that arrested people are made fully aware of their rights to remain silent and their rights to an attorney, and felt that the police acted in a way that kept Miranda unaware of his rights. Miranda was then freed, and later brought to court again using other evidence, and was again convicted. To this day, police offices now often have dedicated “Miranda’s cards” that explicitly state every right, and are then signed by the criminal and used as proof in court that the convict was fully aware of their rights.

Sweatshirts

There are many different kinds of sweatshirts. There are hoodies.
There are non-hooded ones,

Sometimes I wear them. Some have charming sayings:

Some are not so charming

Do you wear sweatshirts? Discuss in the coments below!

Florida Trip

Not this charming rapper:


I am going from April 2nd to April 10th. It will be fun. I will do fun things. I will be in a hotel. I will go to a water park. I will visit my cousins. And I will visit my grandma. She is 80. I like Florida. I want warm weather. I have to miss a baseball game. That makes me sad. Blogs are fun.

Oatmeal Monday

My Snack Time is during second period on Monday's and fourth period on Friday's. It is generally a time I induldge in various oats, especially on Monday's. Sometimes I eat Maple Brown Sugar, sometimes I eat Apples and Cinnamon, sometimes I really mix things up and eat Strawberries and Cream. I'm not the kind of guy who will eat plain oats unless I must. Today the oatmeal came out very thick, perhaps next Monday I will add a bit more water for a creamier texture. It smells like an orchard of deliciously harvested apples sprinkled with cinnamon and oat product. I just took a bite of it, it is tasty.

This man knows what it's all about:

Hello Everybody

Welcome to Blogzz.

There is a 4-5 sentence requirement for this assignment. I intend to fulfill are requirements. My posts are likely to look something like this. All posts will probably be about this interesting. They need to be cohesive.

I am eating an apple.

What I am eating right now:

  • Apple
It is red, with hints of other colors. It is crunchy. The juices are sweet. There is a weird bruise that I am strategically eating around. It is a hassle. I just want to eat my apple, not worry about strange marks. However, I do believe the risk is worth the reward. Here is a real-time action photo:
