death

So the verdict is in for the woman who killed Silkworm drummer Michael Dahlquist, John Glick, and Doug Meis by smashing into their car at 87 mph while they were stopped at light. She was, to remind you of that awful day, attempting to commit suicide after an argument with her mother.

She got eight years.

She'll be out in four if she behaves herself inside. She'll be 29 then, younger than the three men she killed were when they died.

Eight years.

It hardly seems fair, but nothing ever does when lives are taken away. Mostly it feels numbing, trying to find logic in a math that makes lives worth so little. You fumble for an answer and, like attempting to open a lock with heavy mittens on, all the effort is for naught.

right, so today i went to school like any other day. everyone laughing and having a good time. but as i walked into form class the teacher had tears in his eyes and told us all that there has been a death. a student was killed in a car crash on her way to school. that student was Sarah Thomas, shes in the year below me and has been my friend for the past 5 years. the class fell silent and as the bell went to leave, not a word was said in the school. students were silent, not a giggle or smile could be seen on anyone. i ended up walking out of english a few minutes later only to meet up with her mates that were a bigger mess than me.

The subject line says it all. Though it seems he made some poor life choices, he's one of these guys that won't ever be forgotten. I mean, he had flame tattoos on his fucking head!

Also, he saved some kids from a burning house one time. Seriously.

Rest in peace, Bam Bam!
