The inhumanity of humans

Tell me this...

Why are people so stupid?

Why are people so desperate for drama and violence? Is there something wrong with our society that we try to provoke those who seem mentally unstable, and shout "fight, fight, fight," when students get into messy disputes? Obviously, something is amiss. 

Case in point: there's this kid who goes to my school. Weird guy. Not too popular. Did I mention he's weird? Anyway, he's talked about shooting down our grade since the eighth grade. Oh, yeah, he's gotten suspended and expelled and all that shit, but he always comes back. Now, we're all seniors and he supposedly has thing big plan to shoot us all at graduation. He even has--or rather, had--a hit list. 

Oh, me! Oh, my!

You'd think that'd be enough to inspire people to either ignore/avoid the guy, or become his best friend in a futile attempt not to get shot...but nah, of course people still have to look for even more drama in their socially inept lives.

A rumor spread last night that today, he was gonna "take care of some business." Because it's high school, and there's facebook and texting, it took only a matter of hours before nearly everyone was talking about it. The police were called, they searched his house--and found nothing, by the way--, and our principal made a personal visit to apologize to the guy and his family. It was chaos this morning though. Every single person in the hall could be heard saying, "oh, hey! We're gonna die today!" And a majority of students chose to skip because they, "didn't wanna die."

I won't lie. I was pretty freaked out myself. In fact, my sis and I almost turned back and went home.

But my point is, at the end of the day, nothing was in his house. He probably wasn't even planning anything today. Whoever started the whole rumor either has too much time on their hand, or just enjoys seeing students and faculty alike in a state of frenzy. Regardless, whoever started the rumor is possibly...the. Most. Pathetic and stupid. Human. In. The world.

If he didn't wanna shoot us before, he certainly does now.

As the World Ends

Haha, the play-on-words here was completely accidental, I promise.

Basically, As the World Turns-- one of my all-time favorite shows--ended earlier this week. Now, it was bittersweet, of course. That show's been running for over fifty years. I remember watching it with my mom when I was growing up. Thus, I cried. I wailed. I threw myself against walls in a futile attempt to regain composure. My misery had more to do with how the show ended, honestly, than the actual fact of its ending.

Heard of Luke and Noah?

Of course you have...

Oh, wait. You haven't? 

Oh. Oh, dear. Nuke, as the fans have reverted to calling them over the course of three years, were the first gay couple on daytime television. And over the three years of their relationship, they basically went through shit. Psychotic fathers, Luke getting paralyzed, Noah marrying a refugee from Iraq, Noah signing up for the army, Luke cheating during an election and nearly losing Noah, Noah getting blind, and the inevitable final break-up of NUKE, leading to Luke falling in love with Noah's ophthalmologist, Reid (LuRe, anyone?) Sounds like typical soap opera occurrences, right?

Yeah, pretty much.

The thing that makes it different is the fact that, even after all that Nuke went through, and even LuRe, the writers STILL had the guts to kill off Reid, who Luke was so crazy in love with, along with many fans.

Someone...please tell me what the fuck that's about.

WHY the hell would a show, whose popularity was based solely on three gay characters, would destroy all of said characters, and make the living ones as miserable as possible, while the straight sex and frolic in their irrefutable happiness? Because I simply don't understand, nor do I want to.

I'm disgusted that, after all that us fans personally have been through, the writers would just toss us aside like that. Fucking disgusted as hell.

For the record, P&G suck balls.

Have a favorite gay couple to shout at me (besides Deniz and Roman, because I already LOVE them)? Do it up homie.
