Re:Pearl & Frances Hernandez

I tried to comment on her blog Pearl, about Frances Hernandez but for some reason Google isn't recognizing it... And I don't think her name is in there anywhere, so I can't try to find her on Facebook. It's funny that we both ended up in WA state. I'm in Spokane though. And you know Heidi's brother Richard?(Heidi Williams, Frances' ex-girlfriend) Well Richard and I ended up living on the Same damn block in Browne's Addition! All these years and miles away from our families homes in Long Beach- we lived only like a block and a half apart in Long Beach. Richard died years ago, but it was so cool running into him back in the 90's, it felt weird, like Fate- that we live SO close to each other accidentally in 2 different states.... Anyway.... He was a good friend, I miss him.

So anyway- I wonder if the woman who has the Pearl blog and I have ever met..? I used to hang out in that infamous van and get high and drink beer at The Keyhole too. (And sold a little pot there now and then)

Hung out in that van alot... I was alone with him just a few times when he'd drive me home. I lived a block away from where one of the girls was left... He asked me out and I almost said Yes. But it wasn't long after he and Heide broke up so I wanted to wait- didn't know how she felt about the situation. In case they were going to get back together, ya know.

Did you know Rick Acosta and Mike Peckerwood, lived behind Market Basket off Bellflower Blvd. Those 2 guys drugged, raped & filmed me when I was like 15. And Heather who killed herself... I'm thinking the last time I saw Frances he was over with them. Yeah, he gave me a ride home, it was just a few blocks away though. But it was dark and late.

I was so glad to leave Southern CA. It was not a safe supportive place for a teenage girl! Lol I traveled around for a couple of years then when I got to WA state I decided to stop... it was so completely different from soCal... Slower, easier, and the people were just... nicer! Lol

Hard to believe that crap was... omg 40 Years ago!!! Omfg has it actually been forty fucking years?!? Holy crap I'm an old lady!

Really?

First off- Dammit I just spent over an HOUR creating my Greatest, most inspiring and honest story Ever. Somehow I, being temporarily impossibly brilliant, was going to help re-ignite those Idealisticly naive yet powerfully loyal ever growing army of young people whose opinions hopes&needs are so often overlooked by a Govt that doesn't even TRY to engage & speak their language. They've been so inspired by Bernie's words and his awkwardly endearing personality, a bit like the brilliant absent-minded professor type we all know and love. And more importantly Trust. Four years ago I also became uncharacteristically inspired by the unexpected support of so many optimistic young ppl. Never underestimate those Idealistic (&often annoying Holier than Thou attitude) Social Justice Warriors. They're tireless in their faith, honest belief that they WILL succeed in their endeavor to make the world a better place for EVERYONE, they're nothing if not painstakingly inclusive in their vision of an ideal future. Democratic Socialism is the furthest thing from the oppressive fascist nightmare the MAGA hat wearing fearmongers are trying to convince you is in our future. The racist, sexist, homophobic, hatefully divisive orange loudmouth Ape needs to be stopped before doing any more damage to our collective psyche.
It's almost too weird to be real- The long overdue happy outcome of Pres Obama's election was the best news many people could hardly believe it finally happened. There was such a hope, a belief that anything was possible. That Good would defeat Evil every single time from now on we'd finally evolved & were surely on the path to evolutionary perfection, Lol. Those early first days seem impossibly Optimistic now, but people began to smile at complete strangers for no reason at all. Seemingly Overnight we felt a need to get to know our neighbors and develop friendships even with people we had nothing in common with. Even an old pessimist like me felt a new solidarity bridging heretofore eternally separate deep seated ideologies. Sure its a happy oversimplified vision . Pollyanna's will to make sure our future descendants would be forever grateful for the Wonderful World they inherited.
