birthday or death day

so today its my 19th birthday- HURRAY! but i spent all last night in the hospital to watch my grandfather on his death bed.
suprisingly, he made it through the night with a collapsed lung- the other filled with liquid, unable to swallow and in great pain.

so im spending my birthday waiting by the phone for the latest update and as morbid as it is- the last. guess it wont be such a happy birthday after all.

but- my g/dad still has his sense of humor, last night i was in the room with all my brothers and sisters (6 total) and all their families. we were all chatting away when there was a silence as we all realised our grandfather had fallen alsleep. he woke wide awake to say "shit, i thought i died with that silence", hahaha i was the only one that found that funny...

three lives = eight years = WTF

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.

another youth victim to death

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.

RIP Bam Bam Bigelow

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!
