it's like 5,000 fucking degrees in here! at work they posted an email in the breakroom. this lady in another department has this elderly lady neighbor. In october, her daughter died (i think in a car accident) and her husband didn't take care of their kids too well. They have an 11 yr old daughter and a 9 yr old son. They got taken away by HRS!!! Well, the grandmother (the neighbor) just got full custody! (This is so close to home my eyes starting welling up!!) - anyway, her husband (the grandfather) is disabled so she's the only one working. They were asking for donations like school supplies, clothes, money ... anything to help. It breaks my heart. Those poor kids, they lost their mother, got taken from their father, and now have to start over at a new school and new home.

people say everything happens for a reason. i can't imagine what's the reason for these kids having to go through something like that. not only them, what about all the kids that are abused, kidnapped, raped, killed. And what about old people that have lived their whole life working and being a good person, only to be beaten to death in their OWN HOUSE for like $65 worth of cash. That happened like 5 minutes from my fucking house!! some people are such pieces of shit man.

we all need to come up with something positive to do for the world. It's so fucked up right now. if i think of something, i'll post about it. for now, i'm heading to Wal Mart to get some school clothes for those kids.
