As much as I ever could

There are times I forget that I have a tumblr, until creative neurons band together and create the synapses that link to the memory to tumblr(e). ab epistulis.

1994’s Most Bizarre Suicide

Don Harper Mills

At the 1994 annual awards dinner given by the American Association for Forensic Sciences, AAFS President Don Harper Mills astounded his audience in San Diego with the legal complications of a bizarre death. Here is the story…

On March 23 the medical examiner viewed the body of Ronald Opus and concluded that he died from a gunshot wound of the head caused by a shotgun. Investigation to that point had revealed that the decedent had jumped from the top of a ten story building with the intent to commit suicide. (He left a note indicating his despondency.) As he passed the 9th floor on the way down, his life was interrupted by a shotgun blast through a window, killing him instantly. Neither the shooter nor the decedent was aware that a safety net had been erected at the 8th floor level to protect some window washers, and that the decedent would not have been able to complete his intent to commit suicide because of this…

Ordinarily a person who starts into motion the events with a suicide intent ultimately commits suicide even though the mechanism might be not what he intended. That he was shot on the way to certain death nine stories below probably would not change his mode of death from suicide to homicide, but the fact that his suicide intent would not have been achieved under any circumstance caused the medical examiner to feel that he had homicide on his hands…

Further investigation led to the discovery that the room on the 9th floor from whence the shotgun blast emanated was occupied by an elderly man and his wife. He was threatening her with the shotgun because of an interspousal spat and became so upset that he could not hold the shotgun straight. Therefore, when he pulled the trigger, he completely missed his wife, and the pellets went through the window, striking the decedent.

When one intends to kill subject A, but kills subject B in the attempt, one is guilty of the murder of subject B. The old man was confronted with this conclusion, but both he and his wife were adamant in stating that neither knew that the shotgun was loaded. It was the longtime habit of the old man to threaten his wife with an unloaded shotgun. He had no intent to murder her; therefore, the killing of the decedent appeared then to be accident. That is, the gun had been accidentally loaded…

But further investigation turned up a witness that their son was seen loading the shotgun approximately six weeks prior to the fatal accident. That investigation showed that the mother (the old lady) had cut off her son’s financial support, and her son, knowing the propensity of his father to use the shotgun threateningly, loaded the gun with the expectation that the father would shoot his mother. The case now becomes one of murder on the part of the son for the death of Ronald Opus…

Further investigation revealed that the son became increasingly despondent over the failure of his attempt to get his mother murdered. This led him to jump off the ten story building on March 23, only to be killed by a shotgun blast through a 9th story window.

The medical examiner closed the case as a suicide.

I think the holidays bring the worse out of people. 

-Thanksgiving… lets mace a crowd of people at a Wal-Mart, then turn around and sue Wal-Mart and walk out with 50,000 and the gifts I wanted… and the satisfaction that I actually used my old worn out pepperspray.

-Christmas(Week)… Crime went up during this week something like 10% Higher for vehicle break ins and home invasions. Yay.

Gamestop started taking in trades for “used” iPods/iPads/iPhones… Let’s just say… if you don’t know the password to it, most likely you stole it.

Working retail recently gave me the rare opportunity to see what people can become to be “jolly” for the holiday season. For those who give others a hard time for no apparent reason but you just being an impatient, selfish, arrogant individual… double the holiday joy to you kind citizen. 

-Because this city, this city is haunted, By ghosts from broken homes…

Envisioning your future is something that you can always grasp in your mind, but what the outcome and reality is, is something completely warped. 

Yeah, sure, I honestly thought three years ago, while I was at the academy that I would be hired and ready to go before everybody else by the time I turned twenty. That I had an already superb career and track record. I would be on the way to a new home with a happy life and be content with what I have.

Well that isn’t usually the case now that I sit here, a jobless unemployed 22 year old with nothing but a piece of paper that will burn to the ground this coming November. The hard work, determination, interviews, for the last three years have been a complete waste of time. Yes the experience was there, but it only showed me one thing. NOTHING in life is guaranteed. Not your health, your family, your friends, your money ALL of it isn’t guaranteed at all. It gives you a realistic perspective on life to appreciate what you have now, what you had, and what you will have in the future. Yeah, people hear stories that so and so got a job at such a young age and is living la vida loca. Cool story bro, but 1 out of 100,000 isn’t such a good odd that you can rely on. You may work hard, play hard, whatever you do hard, but it doesn’t mean anything once you have no place to apply those assets. 

I have hit an impeccable doom, something that millions of Americans are suffering currently and there isn’t much that one person can do. It is a harsh reality to come to terms with, but it’s life. Get up, get going and move. It will settle in and consume you, eat you up whole and destroy you as a person. In order for myself to deviate from this, you just have to move, keep moving and don’t fucken stop.

“Fear no man, for he is not invincible…”

just a thought. 

It’s been forever.

Just as the NFL and NBA lockout proceeds, apparently so does this tumblr.

Time for something new, fun , exciting, etc etc etc. Blah blah blah. 

Does anyone really account to the fact that no one really cares anymore. 

Social media, television, and drugs all account for what your children will be when they grow up. 

Okay, random blurbs have been out of the way, now it’s time for the nitty gritty. 

Inspiration to those who need it can not be found, rather, it’s given to you by the grace of whatever divinity you believe in. I say that because not everyone is a firm believer of the flying spaghetti monster. 

Do you sometimes feel empty? 

To those who wonder why I haven’t been at work for the past week, well why don’t you ask someone who I work with. Obviously they know more than my own self. 

I don’t like to trash talk, okay maybe a little bit, but this has to get off my chest one way or another. I took an involuntary one week absence from work. This is caused by many issues, one being hysteria. Hysteria you say? Yes, the fact of my presence is detrimental to this business because of my work performance and the possibility that there will be a riot as I do absolutely nothing to cause any of this. I have worked a total of probably more than anyone at that institution, I have stood up for what was right and what I believed to be a bad decision. To this day, I have NEVER seen anyone reprimanded and slandered the way I was come this past week and I cant help but to feel embarrassed and disappointed at what I have put in at this job and what I have received for it. Someone has lost their mind and theres no way in putting it back. Not only you jeopardize family, but you would rather throw them under a burning double decker bus to see it your way. Insane as it sounds, I can’t help but to feel discontent and utter disgust to see what this establishment has and will become.

It is not a bitter soon to be ex employee rant.

It IS a standpoint from someone who pieced all of it together to see someone tear it all down.  

I can not write more concisely to what I see as the total annihilation of what used to be the best place to work. If you disagree, please, disagree to yourself because quite frankly someone will say something whom will say something more which will probably give me another involuntary week off in which I say to you my friend… gg. 

Costly lesson, don’t trust your “friends” unless you know they are jumping with you, be sure they aren’t the ones pushing you down.  

Haven’t done anything lately, not even get on tumblr and try and make some crazy posts. One word, GIRLFRIEND. sorry tumblr, you just have to wait until I have time. 

” …as my snipers hit their marks and your guards fall down from a rifle to your heart, like clap clap, let’em fall slow, I know you’ve got your fears you can let’em all go.”

Man, I haven’t written solid, concrete anythings on this tumblr contraption for awhile now. Do ya’ll miss me? Not really. 

I’ve noticed that tumblr is slowly becoming another social plug-in to mess around with and it’s kinda gay. 

I’m super tired, but I will try to write as much as possible and maybe throw in a some artsy fartsy cliche item of sorts. 

So let’s start off with… work! Work is work. There is nothing to it, but I am on my last inch to get into some sort of department or else my POST Certificate (Certification for Law Enforcement Officers in California) will expire. BOOO.  For every bump I get over two more find their way in. 

Friends, Oh Friends. I do miss hanging with all the boys from home. I visited my old house recently and man did it bring good memories back. I miss everything from the traffic to the backyard basketball court to the elote pusher on the corner. One day I will find my way back to the city. When people ask me where I’m from, I always say “I’m from Pomona, FOOL.” 

Macbook - This thing does wonders, seriously. I know people say it’s overrated, over priced and under matched. I used to be one of those people, until I took that leap and boy was I astonished by the OS and ease this thing can do. I still haven’t used it to it’s full potential and I feel like it’s made life so much easier already. Just sayin’. 

And finally, the you know who it is…

Well, she is a bottle of sunshine. I’m glad I have her around and committed to whatever we are. I really don’t care nor do I expect anything crazy anytime soon, but I do want to see this grow into something unforgettable and beautiful. It hasn’t been long but let’s make no mistake, I like her. 

Okay. I promised something artsy fartsy, but unfortunately my creative side is dead asleep. All I can hear is my fingers smashing the keyboard. :]

Goodnight tum-blurs. 

I noticed that I write fifty-times better when I’m slightly intoxicated. 

If I have one too many over teh limmet I thonk i loose trak of my grammer.

All joking aside, I’m not intoxicated, nor will I be for a bit. 

But I am tired, exhausted actually. Maybe updating wasn’t such a good idea. 

Can we table this for later? Well, you have no choice. Here’s something that caught my attention though, made me feel like a man.

You may not be her first, her last, or her only.
                             She loved before she may love again.
                      But if she loves you now, what else matters?
                                She’s not perfect, you aren’t either,
                and the two of you may never be perfect together
        but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice,
                 and admit to being human and making mistakes, 
                   hold onto her and give her the most you can.
                           She may not be thinking about you
          every second of the day, but she will give you a part of
                       her that she knows you can break her heart.
                  So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze  
                           and don’t expect more than she can give.
                             Smile when she maked you happy, 
                    let her know when she makes you mad,
                        and miss her when she’s not there. 
                                                                     -Bob Marley. 

new mac. will update soon.
