May 18, 2006 Kevin Kendall

On November 6th, a cyclist named Kevin Kendall died when a car hit him on his bicycle. For more info, check out the following link: Kevin Kendall.

His death really struck me because I went through something very similar. But, obviously, unless I'm typing this from the great beyond, I didn't die.

I especially like his quote,“My citizenship is in Heaven.”

It's so true, if you think about it. Heaven is a place that we'll all end up some day. So really, we've all been citizens of heaven since birth...

...unless you're into death metal. Then It'd be nerdy to say that you're a citizen of Heaven. It'd be way cooler if you said, "My citizenship is in hell. And Satan is my president!"

I'm totally into freestyle rap. Here's a link for ya'll:

I don't know who won that one. But I totally think the guy dressed in orange did.

It's the 21st century jazz/poetry. I think I might try to come up with some of my own, too.

5-02-06 How things are now...

This head trauma [AKA brain damage] has changed the way I view pain in others.

More specifically, I view people who I once viewed as "pussies" or "wimps" as people who haven't had to deal with a lot of pain. Now I view them as "lucky".

I'm going to write a story about a person who has gone through life without experiencing any pain.

He ends up getting an office job because, of all the jobs he applied for [I'll have him apply for some strange, eccentric jobs too] he thinks, it's the easiest, pain-free one to deal with.

However, he stays late one day to finish a report that's due the next day.

While coallating it, he ends up getting a paper cut. He absolutely flips out, collapsing and writing on the floor in "pain". He ends up calling 911.

Unfortunately for him, it starts to bleed. Seeing this, he decides that he'd rather die by jumping from the high building than bleed to death.

So he jumps to his death.

All over a paper cut.
