Communication has been a struggle all day

And not just because I’m tired.

I found out from Whabbit’s post…couldn’t sleep much thinking about it.

Woke up this morning and did some reading. It was when I saw a note telling the families of students where to go to find out about where they were that I started crying.

It’s been a long day…but it’s so much longer for others.

It’s the university thing that gets me. I’ve only graduated recently, and university halls and corridors are fresh in my mind.

Thoughts and words are all I can give; and even those are tangled, confused and disrupted by this.

And I still hate myself for not feeling like this every day, for all those thousands of people around the world whose lives are ended by the madness and stupidity that seems so prevalent.

The world needs to wake up and look at itself.

Honestly for once.

It won’t.

Perhaps that’s what saddens me most. The news I saw already had people obsessing over stupidity. Defense, Security, Guns, Law Abiding Citizens.

Sometimes the machine needs to stop and have a chance to cool down.

Perhaps if we tried that we’d realise we didn’t need to turn it back on again.

I can’t talk.

Love to all.

Dis Clam 'Ere

Alabaster Crippens doesn't entirely believe in objective truth, therefore he can neither confirm or deny the accuracy of any statement, image or impression caused by, or displayed on, these pages of the so called 'internet'. He does however not want to get sued, even if the lawyers, legal system, and the concept of jurisprudence doesn't exist. Therefore if you believe the nonsense posted on here you do so entirely at your own risk. In other words: Don't sue me 'cause I might not mean it. Basically, anything you hear from anyone is unreliable, so if you want the 'truth' you need the perspectives of as many people as you can get..ideally people who are trustworthy and close to the particular 'truth' you wish to inspect. If you start trusting idiots with silly (and obviously made up) names then you're developing some kind of problem. Check your sources, examine their own politcal (or other) motivation, remember that anything people say is opinion unless you are certain that they speak the 'truth'. Even your own eyes can lie. Trust me on that one. Or don't..it doesn't bother me. Finally, everything written here is, to the best of my knowledge written by me and I reserve my right to be recognised as the author of these works. Any input from other sources should be clearly shown, if you note a mistake or anything..tell me..I'll try and sort out the problem. Please ask me if you want to use anything for commercial reasons...I probably won't mind but I need to know I'm not supporting anything I don't want to support. This is an attempt at a legal notice written without legal knowledge. Just follow the principles, I think most of you get what I mean, even if it won't stand up in a court of law. Just be polite you know...like in the good ole days.
