I woke this morning to find my beloved beta fish Mercutio, floating on his side in the bottom of his fishbowl. I was upset he was dead. I was standing over the toilet with the fish bowl and a slotted spoon, trying to scoop the little fishy out, and he swam away. THE LITTLE BUGGER WAS ALIVE!!! MY FISH ASSUMED THE QUALITIES OF CHRIST.
How amazing it that?

Last Wednesday, a guy I attended Kindergarten with hung himself in a playground. I am not writing this as a method of grieving. I have much more important things to deal with right now. I am just really pissed off. This boy attended my former high school, but he was no longer a student. He had many friends there. Not one grief counselor was called in. In fact the school is ignoring the whole ordeal completely.
Apparently, an affective method of preventing suicide is just to ignore it altogether. Students need someone to talk too. They need to grieve properly. Suicide is a pychological punch in the face for those who have to deal with it. Those students need someone to give them ice, they need someone to tell them it is not their fault. You cannot expect them to go along and pretend that everything is okay. Metal meltdowns are not all they are cracked up to be, and depression never leads to anything good.
Helping the students that are hurting might prevent them from doing something that will harm them. It may even prevent another suicide. Or the school system can just ignore the whole event because he wasn’t their student anymore.

In the past week I have eaten one apple per day.
Normally I average an apple a year, but they were on sale.
They are easy to eat while I walk from class to class, plus they are good for you.
LIES. Now I am sick, and it is all the apples fault.
