SHOCK, TRAGEDY, & WHY GOD SUCKS
Bad news today, kids.
This last week and a half has been really surreal.
Last Thursday morning a sixteen year old boy, Avin Bryck, was killed in a tragic automobile accident and his little brother Tyler was terribly injured while they were driving to school that morning.
Needless to say the whole town has been in a state of shock and disbelief since.
This is a small town where everybody news everybody, maybe not personally but we all know of each other. Its times like this were I envy the anonymity of city life. This young man lived not far from my families farm and I watched him grow up and rode the school bus with him when he was just a little guy. His parents, especially his mom, are the nicest people you could ever hope to meet, and Im not just saying that, its true.
If God exists (I hope he does) he really sucks for allowing something like this to happen. Hes effectively ripped the heart out of Avins parents and family and scarred for life the school time memories of his classmates and friends.
There is no life lesson that needs to be learned this harshly. There is no reason that such good people should be made to suffer so much.
The funerals tomorrow morning and theres going to be hundreds of people there. Its going to be a rough day for everyone, myself included, Im not good with emotions especially sad ones. I dont handle them well.
If Ive learnt anything from all this its to stop screwing around, procrastinating about everything, and do some of the stuff Ive always wanted to, appreciate the people I like a little more and let them know I care about them, cause you really never know when your life or theirs could be snuffed out like a candle flame.
Now that Ive depressed the lot of you heres some pictures of kittens to lift your spirits.

Bah....But, yay for kittens. I'm sorry, but if I was trapped in a mineshaft forced to distill and drink my own urine...well, I was going to say a kitten would cheer me up but I think I'd end up eating the kitten if I was trapped in a mineshaft...then I'd feel bad for eating a kitten...Wow, this comment sure has gone downhill, think I'll stop now...
But in reply to your reply....
Yes! Why have you been ignroing me!?
Well except LillithVain.... but she's the only one I've seen. I'm still not sure what to do
