Two Years Gone

aalargeandrewbreitbart.jpg

Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep -
He hath awakened from the dream of life -
'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife
Invulnerable nothings. -We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
Convulse us and consume us day by day,
And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.

Adonais by Percy Bysshe Shelley

WoW! Doesn't seem like it's been 2 years already, more like 1.

You know what they say, life is like a roll of shit paper. The closer you get to the end the faster it goes.

My gosh, has it really been two years? It still feels like I just saw that awful headline. I felt like I had been slugged in the gut. It literally took my breath away for a few moments.
Mr. Vanderleun, do you remember when you first heard the news that JFK had been shot? I was 12 and in my typing class and when I heard the news it seemed like the world in front of my eyes lurched to the left. Can't explain it, but this was kind of like that.

I was in 3rd grade at North Middleton Township Elementary School in Carlisle, PA when I heard. Mr Karlovich the principal came over the loudspeakers in the classrooms and announced there would be an assembly in the cafeteria at 1 pm. All us younguns sat quietly on the carpet as the principal made the announcement that JFK was assasinated. I barely knew who he was. Some lady teachers started crying. No grief counselors were summoned. All of us are still suffering deeply from post traumatic stress and we should garner a class action against the gov't.

His wife and family are being sued, I believe. That's how they are faring.

God bless Andrew, and I hope he's praying for us.
