Tragedy

Posted by EarthAndI - September 16th, 2011


Hey guys. What I decided I'm going to do on my news posts, besides updates, is every once and a while, share bits and pieces of my opinions/rants. That way, you can see the relatively serious/angry little person in me.

Today's is, well. You can read. If you can't, I'm amazed at your progress. But seriously. Today during class, we were talking about the Constitution. We The People, something something. But we got a little off subject when we were talking about the right to bear arms. We started talking about how when my teacher was in high school, kids had shotguns in their cars from overnight hunting (Ha ha, I live in a hillbilly community, ha ha. Sort of. Anyways.) and nobody really cared.

She said that changed after, contain your utter surprise, the Columbine shooting. And of COURSE, somebody asked what that was. So she tells us. Someone else asks what happened afterwards, and she told us. They killed themselves. And --Another surprise-- some moron who thought he was being funny, throws out a JOKE. And, I kid you not, he pretends to shoot himself. Really? Are kids my age on THAT level of stupidity? It's amazing how insensitive some people are.

Did I personally know anyone who was hurt or killed in this accident? No. But does that make it any less of a tragic happening? Absolutely not. So I go into even deeper thinking. What about? Basically, everything I know and believe. I could drill all that into your brainhole, but I'll spare you the utter boredom. And somewhere along the lines of everything, I realized you can't really escape tragedy. It's everywhere. From the death of a loved one, to abused children, something in the world will eventually make you realize what tragedy really is. And to the moron in class, it could just be his dog peeing all over his Xbox, I DON'T CARE. But then I also realize, you can't dwell on certain things. Are people still crying over the deaths in the Revolutionary war? I highly doubt it.

So, call me a butthurt, whiny little child-face. Whatever. This is just what I think. So, tell me, do you guys think I should keep doing these kinds of posts, based on this little sample? Or should I just stick to updates that nobody really reads? Please, I beg of you, give me some feedback.

Oh, before I forget, if you're like me, the video I'm about to suggest you go watch, WILL MAKE YOU CRY. Don't say I didn't warn you. But the video, it's called "Autumn Tree", if you haven't already seen it on here. It's by "AloneInTheDark". It was actually the biggest piece of information on Columbine I'd ever received. But then again, I was naive and ten, so. It's very well animated, and I love the art style. Like I said, it was so good, it made me cry (The second time I watched, after I'd gathered more information). And if you REALLY wanna be my poser, go read a book called Give a Boy a Gun. It's a unique book, as it's all told in (Fictional) quotes. It really does resemble the Columbine shooting, but it's also very different. Anyways, it's a really good book. But, I should go for now. Bye guys.
