11:40 am - something that matters...
|
written by a friend with a point:
So I am sure that we are all saddened to hear the news of the tragedy that took place at Virginia Tech a few days ago. For those of you that do not know a student named Cho Seung Hui, who was a senior at the university went on a shooting spree and killed 32 students. Some students were simply shot, others were made to line up against a wall before before being shot.
If you haven't heard about this I urge you to turn off your Explosions in The Sky cd or stop whatever your doing for a few minutes and look up some information on this.
If you do know something about what took place, maybe you are as confused as I am about why it took two hours for news of the first shooting to reach the other students. Why was the news sent in an e-mail? Why wasn't the campus closed down?
I am both horrified and saddened by the horrible acts humans are able to commit. What gets me more, is the seemingly sad truth that people mostly only come together during a tragedy. The invisible barrier that separates you and I, or the anonymous person you pass everyday and never say hello to for whatever reason has most likely vanquished somewhat. Wherever you go, on the El or in some place of business people will probably be talking about this. All with their own opinions. Some blaming the killer, some blaming Asians etc. I am very sad, both for the killer who felt he had nowhere to go, and for the senseless violence and lives lost. What does it say about us, not just Virginia Tech, but us as a community, when signs and symptoms of a seriously troubled person are ignored? Remember when 9/11 happened? Remember Columbine? Sometimes it seems people ignore tragedy, ignore unsightly things until they can't anymore, until it blows up in their own backyard.
Did you also know that while 32 precious lives have been lost, more than 150 Iraqi's have died from a string of car bombs? I'm not comparing numbers or nationalities of lives I'm just pointing out,things are happening everywhere.
While I'm worried about not having time to get coffee in the morning people are dying. I make myself sick with myself sometimes. Maybe you do too?
Even now as I'm writing this I have to fight to not start crying as I hear the people around me laugh and talk about what was on t.v. last night, or who fucked who.
How does one make a difference? How does one do their part to stop the violence?
Sorry for being so long winded. Anyway, below are a list of some of the victims that were shot at Virginia Tech. Please just read a few names from the list of the dead below. Do it as an act of community. It can make a change. Please forward this so others can read the list and honor the people lost, because even that, however small an act, is doing something.
-Patrick

let me just say that Mew was incredible, beyond words. after seeing them live, i'm convinced, Mew is the best band on the planet. they are angels from on high damned to walk this mortal plane for us wee peasants to have a taste of true beauty. pure art. see them at any cost, by all means.
i know this is bold, but better than radiohead. better than muse. better than sonic youth. best band i've ever seen. spiritual. truly.
feast for your eyes:
