a picture of this, inspired me to finally get a political or thought blog. yea myspace can give you the blog but at least with this its more of a political or other nature thats not totally social like the other.
recently i read a book intiled Red China Blues, and read about a woman who lived in communist china in the seventies and the 80's and witnessed two large events one being the death of Mao Zedong, and the other at tianamen square (sp). many people upon reading this will be confused on why it is called 12:10. 12:10 has two large signicant meanings. one being the time i was born when i was well born. and the other is when chairmain mao was pronounced dead in the late seventies. i thought it was a cool coincidence and decided to make that the name.
recently as many know was wat some call the "Virgina Tech Massacre". this was a horrible day in history and even i the most outlandish one siad wow thats fucked up. but a few things really strike me. the first with it being called "The Massacre". call me insensitive as most will within the next minute or two.... it was not a massacre. many people died yes, but TIanamen square was a massacre, genocides in Sudan and Germany were massacres. this was simply a largely deadly shooting. the second thing that strkes me as weird, is that this kid had been a loner, in his drama class made weird twisted plays and that shit. it always seems that after a shooting or deadly thing, there is always people going oooo i knew he was like that. than why not get some balls to say something. i cant help and not believe that it wasnt coming. most thigns are if you really watch it. for the people who said they saw it coming, arent true kus if they were afraid than soemthing would have happened. a third strikes me is that he had a great fucking shot. the dude put three bullets in most that relatively could be deadly shots. and how the media brings up that he got the gun from an out of state guns dealer. many will contest and say all his stuff was not legit. the funny thing is everything he did was totally legit and legal as far as the purchases went. its when virginia has a no waiting period that fucks it up. yea maybe a waiting period would have showed stuff, but his mental illnesses according to my readings, was not to be brought up in his background check. the final thing that seemed weird was when everyone had died and the smoked cleared that everybody had a new nationalistic tie to the hoakies. wow great get behind a nice cause, but this shit happens everyday in foreign states. 32 people die at any given time by a small bomb or something in iraq, but it is widely reported and causes nationalistic uprisings? no, its normal. the thing that always makes me kind of laugh in a way is the nationalistic uprisings that occur at any and all tragedies. the same type of thing happened just after 9/11 and died down, unfortunately so will this. every tragedy should not bring up nationalism, but things like national pride, should always be out there, before a tragedy. things suck tragedies suck. but they happen and because stuff is small when it comes to little spurts of i love the u.s. kind of makes me sick. it shouldnt be a shooting that unites hoakies, but football games, basketballl games..anything just something other than 32 people died should bring pride to that school....i guess i just don't get it.
