Strange Thoughts be Runnin' Through My Head

Posted by FrozenFire - February 10th, 2009


Molkman and I have been diligently working on a game for about 2 weeks now, and Im proud to say it is going very swell! Progress is swift and we should be complete fairly soon.(Doesn't mean you will get to play it soon, though)

Expect it on April 7th, only because it is International Health Day.
Now onto the subject. - Death.

It's been a strange day for me. I learned today that a classmate of mine since elementary school died in a hospital due to some head trauma. This is not the first time I have lost a classmate so I've felt this way before.

Last year, my sophomore year, a really good friend of mine (A Senior, Class of '08) drowned. This was the first time I've really dealt with the death of a friend (excluding pets) and I felt bad about how well I was handling the trauma. We had counselors go through his class periods and we were encouraged to talk about what good things we remember about him. It wasn't a wasted effort, as I could see a lot of tears and broken people that day.

Then, the beginning of this year, a Senior (Class of '09) girl died. I had no affiliation with her, but I still wanted to feel remorseful.

Then, today, someone I talked to a bit in my earlier years (Class of '10) died. Although I didn't communicate to him for a long period of time, I remembered he hassled me quite a bit when I was younger. I still felt bad for him, and his family.

Wow, that sucks. Maybe he'll resurrect as like...a cat....or something. (Not to be a dick, just lightening the mood :( )

A Kitty Cat, Rat-a-Tat.

was the girl kinda hot.. if so then i think i knew her.

You filthy scum.

I love ya. ;)

What death does to the living scares me then death itself I think.

I find I usually don't think about death until someone dies, so yeah that makes sense.

sorta like me. my dad died yesterday, and i've been slightly cheerful (as is my normal emotion), and i've been really pissed off at myself for it (for the full story, go to my profile page and the links provided). i've been just way too happy then i should be.

im going to my emo corner now

Don't be emo. :C

Ill read it :)

sorry :(

Luis is sorry :)

Just because someone dies, doesn't mean you should feel bad about it. Sure, it sucks, but why should you feel bad? Is it your fault? Could you have stopped it but consciously didn't? Of course not.

Death isn't something that should trigger a certain emotion. We all respond to it differently, some cry, some remember the good times they spend together, others are happy and live their own lifes.

As for me, death is a motivation. Whenever I think of someone dying on such a young age, it reminds me of how soon it can all end, and that makes me motivated to live the life I want to live.
That life does not include remorse, sadness or any other kind of emotion that sets me back. It makes me cheerful, hopeful, confident. I'm not saying I don't care about people dying, I just have a positive way of handling it.

Now go put a smile on your face :D

Thank you :)

When people i care about died I was still my stupidly optimistic and happy self and that really pissed me off, I've only cried at a death once and it was my cat when I was 6. I see myself as the one who has to keep everyone happy (or atleast try) everyone else cries.

I know what you mean

i know how you feel, i have been out of high school 3 years now...and 4 people i graduated with have died. Cancer, Motorcycle Accident, Shot in a robbery, and hit by a drunk driver (she wasn't in a car, he went on the sidewalk and hit her...)

it's rough and it's just a part of life that we all unfortunately have to deal with at some point in our lives.

True.
Thanks :)

No ones died at our school since 04', but a kid on the soccer team with me got stabbed a couple times when he didn't give up his wallet. I guess it's only a
matter of time :O

damn that's pretty fucked up..
Poor guy.

I still love you buddy. <3

And I, you.
