In Memory...

(courtsey Yahoo)

The tragedy that occurred yesterday in the US leaves me at a loss for words. Innocent students, not unlike myself, literally gunned down in the prime of life, and there's no one to hold accountable for it.


My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families of the Virginia Tech massacre of April 16th, 2007. May the souls of the departed rest in peace, and may their families find some solace in life, as meaningless as it seems right now.

Currently, CNN runs the news as a breaking story. I intend to update as time progresses and more details are filled out. This is not out of mockery, or the need to be gossipy, but because this has hit very close to home. I genuinely hope that something good comes out of this, but I would rather have it come at a far less price. The life of 32 students to send a message is 32 too many... sadly, it's reflective of the times we live in.

I know that the spades are the swords of a soldier,
I know that the clubs are weapons of war...
