Which is stupid. For one thing the Bible says we are made in God’s image. And we have a sense of humor. Ergo it’s incredibly logical to assume God has a sense of humor also. (A point I’ve never heard anybody other than myself make)

Garrison Keillor said that. He made fun of how God fucks with people, like “The first shall be last and the last shall be first,” and stuff like that. It’s a funny bit.

The more I think about this, the more my heart hurts for this family. Killed by a police officer, who is apparently protected by the rest of the Justice Department, simply for backing a vehicle into the driveway after opening the garage door.

It hurts me so much to think what this father must be feeling, and how empty anything that can be done must be.

It is horrible, but what everybody needs to remember when we read this is that this family isn’t suffering alone. Police murder unarmed people each week in this country. Until we deal with our corrupt and vicious police forces, this will never stop happening.

Also, just a quick reminder: These are the people that some Americans want to station in every single school to protect the children.

Wait. The dude who has the “No Smoking” symbol as his avatar says he doesn’t want to live past 35? You dork, if you want to die young, smoke up.

I quit because it makes my chest hurt and was making it tough to breathe. I don’t want to be completely miserable while I am alive.

Wait what, aren’t you like only 17 or something?

No, I’m not. My lungs are bad as it is because of some illness from when I was a child, which is probably why the smoking was having such an immediate bad effect on me.

Anyway, it’s actually kind of funny you bring up the whole “dead by mid-30s” thing. Quite a few years back I made a similar prediction for myself, figuring I’d be dead before my 35th birthday. Now I’m just a month shy of my 33rd birthday and I laugh when I think about my stupid younger self. I know for certain now I’ll live a long life until the ripe old age of 42.

That’s interesting. That’s a beautiful parallel between us.

I’ll never understand this. I’m terrified of death.

Why? As long as I don’t die from being buried alive, I’m cool with death.

I like consciousness, and I don’t like uncertainty.

I enjoy familiarity quite a bit, but I consciousness kind of pains me. I can’t imagine being frightened by death. Even when I was as young as four or five I was really excited by it and fascinated with death in a bizarre way. I hate it when most other people die, but I’ve never been disturbed by or concerned with the death of myself.
