Four Twenty

If there ever was a day to erase from the calendar, today would be that day. For those not in the know, today is Hitler's birthday. Enough said.

Also, today is the anniversary of the Columbine Massacre. What a fucked up event that was/continues to be. I was walking to work today wondering if something like that happened today, when would I find out? Would it already have happened before I woke up and it was all over the sports news (which is all I watch, but they do throw out major stories like a Columbine situation) or if someone on the metro made a comment about it or maybe when i got to work and there was a news blurb somewhere. Either way, it seems like nothing has happened and that is a good thing.

I remember senior year in high school when it happened and at the time, it just seemed like another high school shooting...for some reason, there were a lot of these going on at the time. but that quickly changed when it was discovered how simply evil this whole thing was...

no jokes here about that. that situation was simply terrible.

but anyway, on a day like today when all the weed heads walk around proud, with their heads up and eyes shut like today is their day, try to keep in mind that this date should be simply skipped over. there is definitely going to be some other asshole or assholes out there who decide today is their day to pull some stunt that will not only affect them but the lives of everyone else in the country. and that is just wrong.

so hug the fat girl, shake hands with the pale skinny kid who wears all black on 80 degree days and take a moment to reflect on the misery that a day like today caused.
