The good news is, dom and everyone he knows is still ok. The bad news is a gunman killed a police man and wounded another one and shot his own two children (who are now ok) about five minutes from where i live. This happened over 24 hours ago, and they only just took him in a while ago, due to him holding his wife hostage. Classes were cancelled today and we were strongly discouraged from leaving our dorm. The man is an ex-yakuza and this may be how he had a gun in Japan. There were hellecopters like crazy and the road was shut down around the University.
I wonder what set him off? I wonder if anyone knows. I suppose in this imperfect world, tragedy is invevitable, but it seems wrong to me to allow that to desensitize oneself. The hardest thing is to strive for the impossible. Isn't that what being human is? Immortality, Harmony, Godliness, Rapture, Beauty, Truth, etc. We want all these things, while at the same time knowing they are impossible. We are animals who don't want the world to be what it is. Anyway, forgive me for waxing philosophical during your websurfing time. Please forget all of that and find yourself an amusing home video on youtube to watch. Or maybe a video game? There are lots of free ones online...
