Sad

So... I was reading excerpts of the online journal of the gunman who shot up the gym TWENTY minutes from my house and some of them really spoke to me. Like, where he says that he "looks good, dresses and smells nice" and doesn't understand why he has not had sex in 19 years nor been in a relationship since 1984.
Wow.... I wonder why no one wants to be in a relationship with a whack job who had been journaling online about shooting up various places to the point where he even said he brought loaded guns in but back out... What a catch!!! Maybe women could somehow sense his crazy! On a serious and sobering note, there are four people dead and more wounded including a pregnant woman because of this guy. We have degraded as a society to the point where this stuff hardly even shocks anymore, and really a person does not feel connected to anyone and resorts to web blogging. And not one person he knew or who stumbled across his blog decided to call the authorities? Or reach out to him with resources that might help?
I guess its a byproduct of the internet and whatnot and then events like this make people afraid. I hope I am never too afraid to reach out to help someone if I come across a sad person in need of connection that badly.
In the meantime, I wrote a flash fiction story that was under 1,000 words for a contest that I found out about in my writing group- the one I just joined yesterday:) It was very interesting and so difficult to keep down to 1,000 words. Although I expected to be a lot harder, to be honest. So my writing adventures continue!
On the kiddo front, he is just such a cutie. Here, let me demonstrate-
And his father and I are in the process of making his home school curriculum for this year, the last year he will need one created by us due to his age.
Right now I am not reading anything. I finished the other book I read and a couple others... considering re reading some of my favorites- again!
