Excuse me--really, excuse the language. But why on earth did that sick fuck have to take down a room full of little girls before he blew his own face off? Imagine their fear.I don't know if it's the percocet, which I admit I've taken the last day or so when a Motrin might have sufficed; I've wanted a little extra numbing. But the world seems too ugly--too garish and perverse to consider sober.
Maisie was invited to join the gifted and talented program in math at school. I'm so proud of her. She conquered the cartwheel this afternoon. She collected red leaves and tucked them into the pages of the OED for some art project that we'll all probably forget to do. The flash of sunlight in her hair is too beautiful for this place.

I feel a mixture of tears and impotent rage.
And also at the less lethal but also disgusting episode of Mark Foley and his enablers.
"The perfectibility of man." Hogwash.
Inger-I was just sick when I heard what happened. Last night, I had a hard time sleeping and blamed it on that. My job doesn't seem as safe, in the last week, as it once was. We are sitting ducks in a public building with no security.
Congrats to Maisie. The GR program, way to go....
way to go maisie =)...not only is she brilliant but she's talented as well...
i've been afraid of americans for quite some time now...i no longer pay attention to any headlines...it just all feels so hopeless...
i wish i had some percocet...that french vodka will just have to do...
peace...
My lack of vocabulary sometimes gets the best of me; these last few days are one of them. I lack the words to voice vehemently enough all the feelings that are boiling in my soul right now...
I've had a half bottle of Zinfandel in the fridge for almost two years; last night after our wonderful vacation day together ended with my wife going to bed much too late for a work day, I almost got into it...
I can see Maisie leading the way in a program like that and so many others...hopefully somewhere down the road she and her generation will save us, somehow!
Not a nice burden to throw on a kid, is it!

Not that it's an excuse by ANY means Inger, but read what I posted today on my blog. We should all direct some of this anger at the drug companies out there and ask for them to explain their "side-effects" to us. I think we have passed the point of these drugs being acceptable as "cures". How many more kids have to die? I just read up update on the story and one of the 6 year olds was just taken off life support and her parents were taking her home to pass away. Damn...
I have been unable to speak of it.....unable to post about it.....can't watch the news...
Some things are too overwhelming...
Taking my kids to school didn't used to scare me...
I have two little daughters myself - and I can't even imagine my pain and outrage if something like this should befall them.
Why did this sick fuck have to kill innocent kids before doing himself in ? Because that is the way the script is written - that is what a sick fuck must do (just watch the news).
I don't pretend that this is an explanation, but in an abstract way, maybe it says something about how human being really struggle to express their inner agony.
Don't get me wrong - I feel only compassion for those affected by this disaster, but that includes the perpetrator.
