Damn, didn't know this happened until now. Terrible, terrible. Not too far away either.
I know there is a member around here that is from (dr. noize I think? only person I have met in person from here). Hope his family and friends are ok. Hope they catch all of these scumbags.
Well I'm not a doctor, but this happened about 10 minutes from my house. What a mess.
EDIT: Sorry, make that 3 minutes away. At least that is where the Suspicious House is. Jaysus.

I'm tired. Yet again, I wake up the evening to find that there's been yet another shooting. Another massacre. Three this week? Four? I can't keep track. I can't wrap my head around it. It feels like madness is raining down on us, all of us, and no one notices. Or, if they do notice, the crazy drowns them out. I don't feel like there's a refuge from this.
My force of habit, I am an insect
I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact

I know it fucking bullshit! BBC even had a headline something like "Another day in America"
I hate to say it but I can see Fox News, Donald Trump and the rest of the crazies having a field day with this. A man that identities as Muslim gets mad at holiday party comes back and literally "wages a war on Christmas"
That will be their excuse that we don't need gun control and that is why we need to keep refugees out of the country.
Not to get all emo but seriously it scares me what this country has become and my son has to grow up here. Do I have to worry the next time I have to bring him to a park or a dentist or a anything else that some wack job is going to shoot up the place. What the fuck is wrong with people that they feel the need to take someone else's life in cold blood.

Yeah, I used to just have to hold my kids' hands while crossing the street and make sure they didn't get hit by a car or anything, but now my standard operating procedure is that I am making ongoing calculations on how quickly I'll be to be able to grab them and run and take cover. Sometimes I'm able to relax, but it constantly bubbles back up into my mind.
I'm taking my older kid to opening night of Star Wars and although I'm really excited to share this with him, with all these shootings all the time and thinking back to Aurora, I'm starting to get keyed up about risk management.
This is a very impressive collection of Roto Toms. That's 21 Roto Toms in all. That is only $33.00 a Roto Tom.
I'm growing increasingly aware of the fact that I'll be leaving the Netherlands in just 17 days. I have this relationship-y thing with a girl here who is absolutely amazing, and in 17 days we will most likely never see each other again. She lives in Arizona, and I live in Sweden so it's kinda predetermined never to work. This also led me to think about the fact that in the next two years, I'll most likely move to different cities about two or three times per year. I've regarded myself very lucky to have these opportunities, but I've realized I really enjoy just being with someone I like and just chilling there. What if I'll have these kinda relationship things in every city I go to? (Haha, yeah right. I actually don't think that high of myself) I don't know, but it makes me sad just to think about it. I've learned things about myself this semester, like how I don't think one night stands give me anything at all, except maybe dudebro bragging rights, which I honestly couldn't care less about. She just left to go to Paris over the weekend and it's the first night in ages we aren't with each other, and it just fucking sucks that I realize just now how much I actually like this girl.
I'm also completely running out of money. Broke my tooth and glasses and had to cough up like 400€, which is also stressing me out.
Ugh, it's almost 05:00 (that's 5 am) and I'm stuck with this assignment that's almost finished but I can't get all these thoughts out of my head. Half a page left and my mind is just completely blank

Decided to reopen my LinkedIn account because CAREER and JOBS and stuff, and they've already sent me several inboxes worth of spam. Useless, idiotic linkedin.
Fucking migraine keeping me from doing ANYTHING. Can't sleep, can't read, can't listen to music, can't fuck all. Even looking at this screen makes me want to smash my head against a wall. SO BORED, PISSED OFF AND IN PAIN!
