Virginia Tech Shooting

April 19th, 2007

I would just like to extend my condolences to anyone involved or who knows someone involved in the shootings at Virginia Tech.

I would also like to say that I wish the major media outlets would stop their extensive coverage of the shootings. Having gone through the Columbine shootings, we can all safely assume that there will probably be some type of copy cat shooting over the next couple of weeks/months. I feel that as the media coverage grows for this horrific incident the likelihood of one of these copycat shootings happening will increase.

I do not feel like the media should not be reporting about this horrific day, but at the same time seeing pictures of a crazed gunman pointing guns at the camera, and playing his video for the entire world to see. This act does nothing but remind those involved about the atrocities they have experienced and ultimately gives the gunman exactly what he wanted, recognition and fame. If the media and authorities were smart, which I no doubt believe that deep down they are, they would keep coverage to a minimum, in order to prevent people from connecting with this shooter in the same manner that he connected with the shooters from Columbine.

Again I extend my condolences to anyone connected to this shooting in anyway, let’s hope that the media learns from their mistakes and at least tries to be a little more proactive in the coverage of this event, for the sake of us all.

Burn Out

April 16th, 2007

Well as this school year comes to a close I’m sure many of us are facing the overwhelming feeling of being burnt out. I have started to feel the effects of this over the past couple of weeks, since I have been doing nothing but work for the last two months straight. You know it’s bad when you can barely motivate yourself to do the things you love like program, or workout.

I really just can’t wait to get done with exams, it’s only 1 week out now and I’m sure everyone feels the same. I wish I could just put my head down and work and forget about everything else, almost like checking out for the next week.

So how does everyone out there combat their burn out? I need some help! :)

Happy April Fools Day!

April 1st, 2007

Well today is April Fools, and the net is a buzz with wacked out websites, and false stories on all the news sites. I thought about doing something witty here, but for the life of me I can’t come up with anything all that great, so I just decided to post and wish everyone a happy April Fools.

This day is officially pleasing to me, since it marks the beginning of April and only 24 days till I leave for the ‘Loo, and all I can say to that is bring it on :)

So to everyone who’s had a prank pulled on them today, have a great one, and remember April Fools is is all about the joy of revenge, sweet sweet revenge ;)
