especially when you're this young.... http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/23083262/detail.html this happened two minutes up the road from my school kinda makes me not wanna ride my bike.most trains have a cement border separating them from the road and cars.these on the other hand ride along side cars and bikers.it's kinda weird and scary.
this happened to a very good friend of mine less then a mile from my house http://www.statesmanjournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=20103160339
That is terrible! I used to live on Huntington and cross it every day, right in front of the NEU quad is a train stop where the train comes up from underground and goes toward Roxbury, I always found it kinda fucked up how close the trains were to the road and sidewalks. Damn.
/: thats depressing. i know a girl who's sister was hit by a train, while walking to school with her younger siblings about four years ago out here in chicago. poor family ):
Death is. that is all. in it all life is equal. the sooner society comes to grips with that the happier everyone will be. George Carlin said he wanted to burst into flames on the crosstown bus. go out with a bang. makes me wonder, do you think he got his two minute warning? death is nothing to fear. of course, i think there should be some serious safety checks happening. bike tires range from 1-3 inches wide or so, but if everyone was advised to use 2-3 inch tires, i think 1 inch is enough room for most applications. someone usually has to die for anything to change though. its like the warnings on microwaves "do not use for drying pets" because you know someone blew up their hamster to get that on the label. and really, with as many people as there are milling about on this planet, as many heavy weapons that we hurl at high speed towards one another, as many variables as there are in the average day, its really quite amazing that more people don't die. there have been 3 bus involved accidents in the last week, i think resulting in 4 deaths here in sunny colorado. every day we navigate risks. sometimes it goes wrong, fast. its unfortunate, but it happens. my family in mississippi always say "i love you, be careful" when somebody leaves, even if they were just screaming at each other. because you never know if something might happen to them, and an argument doesnt change that you love them and care about them. i bet just that has melted a lot of angry storming off feelings. sorry, i went on longer than i intended. im a little high. i do view death in a weird way, so i hope nobody is offended or takes me too seriously. death is sort of a moot point to me. ive dealt with death, i will have to deal with it again. im over it. i let the living know i love them, because if there is an "after" and im not sure that there is, i also find that irrelevant, then i think love would be the only thing you could take with you. so yeah.
I have died once. It's a scary thought to think that my heart had to be jolted back to life in a helicopter along the way to the ER after a car crash head on with a stone wall. I am god damn lucky and I don't know how I pulled through that one... I do know however, that death is something I do not fear anymore for I have experienced it. I can tell you that I didn't see a white light, only darkness, then a strange journey. I had to endure a number of mental and physical tests on this journey, and I had to do it to survive. Thank the heavens we didn't collide with a train...
iam definalty comfortable with that since everything on this planet eventually passes away.Its nothing too like OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. Id rather be stuck in this time frame that have to die. Oh well.
life = death, really. there can't be one without the other. it's the yin and yang of the universe. but to die in such a horrible way, imagine all the panic in those last moments that young man had. i just can't comprehend...
the only real thing you get our of life is death. and we're all dying from our first breath, just some faster than others. that outlook on life keeps me rarely disappointed.
^^true true on a tombstone it says, 1989-2069 for example. we are merely "living the dash". something my dad told me when i was younger, it's always stuck with me.
