i watched some of the videos Cho Seung-Hui sent to nbc today. i also read a couple of his poorly-written, yet alarming, screenplays. in part of the statement included in the package he sent nbc he refers to the two respnsible for the columbine shootings as martyrs.
when my girl got home i wound up discussing it a little, about the warning signs, the mental... Read More
It's funny about this whole "Question Mark Kid". The Columbine shootings started a wave (or rather, continued) a wave of highschool violence. And now, it's carrying over into college life. And you're absolutely right, you and your girl. Humans torment each other for being different. I know I was. Skinny girl, quiet, shy, straight A student, a strange name, glasses, braces, the works. I was a freak, a druggy, a goth, a raver, a rocker, a skater....but I was never popular, and always made fun of. Here's the twist. So many people go through this abuse, but few actually let it build up so much that they end up exploding. I took my anger and used it....whether it was abusing myself, partying too hard, or redirecting later on towards activism and alternative lifestyles, I always had something to do with all my anger.
So, the question is not only how do we get people to stop the tormenting, because that's impossible...but how do you help people deal with those emotions that are brought on by the abuse?
people are fucking fuckheads.

fucking immature pussies. they have so much going on their heads, so much fucking hormone overload, they hardly know where their fucking arses are, and so, whilst trying to be a friend, you say something misinterprettable, and suddenly their insulting you and being a snotty little prick about something of which they have absolutely no fucking clue.

I love to travel, but all my traveling this year is either to the west coast or new york...wait, I may be driving through in June. I gotta go to the family reunion in Arkensas. Yes. My family is a bunch of hicks. But I'd be with my mom and sis. It would be interesting telling them, "hey, we gotta stop in Texas and hang out with people I've never met before!" ha!
so,
i got to see some of my friends today and hang out with them while the missus was at work. where i applied to work the beer and wine section, as well.
anyhow, we rented movies and i picked a random 70s sexploitation flick called NUDE FOR SATAN!!!!
i didn't get to see it all, because we switched to Shaun of the Dead... Read More
