SO I see this video and I think, man, this is completely unnecessary!  First it was about the kid but then it's all about the book pushers...  I don't know what the last part was about...but it stopped being about the kid.  It almost sounded like a debate where both parties were on the same page... not much of a debate but the tone was like a debate, lol.  I guess that's what I get for not watching the news.  Maybe it's always like this:

A news story about Jamey Rodemeyer, the kid who committed suicide because he was bullied. He was 14. :(

Click on that link and tell me what you think.

It seems that lately this blog turned into this picture...  I do have a  lot to say but is there anyone to listen? Did my thirst for attention overwhelm my sense of having something to say?  That was a mistake.  I should write because I want to write, because I have something to write, because it matters to someone.  Someone out there can make sense of my ramblings because they probably ramble just the same.  I'm nothing special.  I just, perhaps, voice it differently or more often.

Lately there's been too much of this silence.  Silent tears, silent fears, silent talks...  Just too much friggin silence!  I don't want that anymore.  I want to speak out, write my thoughts.

They say thoughts turn into action.  Well... first I have to figure out what thoughts to think of first!  So many of them.  I'm sure someone can agree, sometimes our brain just talks too much.  Sometimes our reptilian brain takes over and we're overwhelmed with emotions and we act impulsively.  Sometimes it's our hormones.  We, as women, can blame it on hormones but trust me, men have them too, they just can't "say" that this is why they've done what they did.

So for this little blip on the net I want to say it's very sad to hear about people dying young.  A 14 year old died because he was bullied at school.  What's new?  Some will say that they too were bullied and they didn't die.  They didn't commit suicide as this young man did.  But it's different now... people have taken bullying beyond the school yard.  It's everywhere.  So much hatred for no apparent reason.

What ever happened to live and let live?!  Who's to say what other people do or don't do?  Who they fall in love with or why it even matters to anyone else??  Now I hear we lost this kid, who tried to survive the hate through you tube.  Go check him out  Jamey's you tube channel

At one point he felt optimistic, that it was ALL going to be OK.  That he would survive the hate but I guess it was too much and he offed himself.  Totally unnecessary!  He was 14.  He's not the only one bullied to the point of suicide.

When will the madness stop?!  Seriously!  Why do we have to be so brutal?  Why can't we control our own stupidity?  I hope we can turn it around and start promoting love thy neighbour.  I'm not religious but shouldn't we at least do that "command" ? At least it makes sense... we're all human.  Colour of skin, eyes, hair, etc. shouldn't matter, nor should it matter who we love, what we do, all those things as long as we aren't hurting others.  Unless you're into S and M or whatever, but at least it's two adults consenting to be hurt. I think that's weird but hey, to each their own.

Anyway I spoke a lot for a little "blip" and if I can get myself disciplined, I'll keep writing every day if possible.  I want to share my thoughts with the world.  Get them out of my head so I can sleep at night...or whenever...  Til them but don't plant before spring!
