I spend too much time playing Videogames'... and I don't care!
|
So, I got sucker-punched by some random black guy and was lectured about how I'm racist while I beat the him within an inch of his life. Tell me, is it racist when some black man donkey-punches me and I proceed to whoop his ass? The answer is no. It is not. Why? Because racism is f****** stupid and it gets annoying when black people pull out the,"Racist card" even though they hurt someone else. Now I'm not going to say EVERY black person does this, but alot of them do and, needless to say, IT PISSES ME THE F*** OFF! Thats how my day went. |

BUNNY ON DA ROOOOF
|
I'm so sorry to hear that, Michi. My thoughts are with the victim's family. I don't handle death very well, either. I... had too close a personal brush with it, twice (the first was an actual death), and I haven't been to a funeral since. My family often calls me cold-hearted, but every family member I've lost since... well... in the last fifteen years, I've kept them close to me, but I just can't stand to see them in their "eternal peace." My... My Dad and I talked a bit about my mother this past Saturday. He asked me if I was okay with it. I told him it was something I could be "okay" with. It hurts. A lot.I lost my Mom, then came so very close to losing my father not too long afterward. Haha. We were driving to Santa Monica from Long Beach, and I was misty-eyed the entire time. He kept apologizing for being insensitive, but Dad wouldn't understand, and I'm glad he doesn't. I wouldn't wish losing a parent so early in life on anyone. Gosh, I'm a little teary typing this. Sorry for any typos, guys. Edited by Minmin-Sama, Oct 24 2012, 05:16 AM.

Star of the Show

Don't need to be sorry for anything Min, losing a loved one is tragic, especially a parent. I lost my grandad last year to cancer. It was a strange variant, it started in his legs, crippling him and then spreading to his lungs. When he could no longer get out of bed we took him to the hospital. I returned from work one day to find my mum crying in her room, that's when I found out he had cancer. His outlook pretty much got worse and worse from there. We managed to have him with us around Christmas (2010), but after that he pretty much was stuck in the hospital. Around March, I had spent my first week away from my family, living on campus at Uni when I get a call from my dad saying that grandad didn't have much more than a week left and that if I wanted to I could go home, as they had brought him a hospital bed to his house so he could stay there until he died. So I did, and spent about a week and a half watching him slowly die. Eventually I woke up on day at my parents house and was told that he had died that night while I was asleep. At that point, we were just glad he was no longer suffering, after the funeral I returned to Uni about 2 weeks behind on my first semester. And that's about it, just kinda felt like sharing my story too. I guess this rant thread is getting a bit morbid now :c |

The soul of a forgotten file
|
Maaaan, all this talk about death has me all depressed. I'm not good with death, like at all. I only ever really experienced it once before, and that was when my grandma died a few years back. Hard to believe it's been that long. It was so sudden too, I had just came home from school when a call came bearing the news. Even now it's kinda hard to accept that I will never see her again. |

Don't play with fire, kids.

I've had several people close to me die. My grandfather was the first; I was 8 years old, I think. He was basically my favorite relative, almost my best friend. Long story short, I was depressed for the next ten years due to that and a few other things. I think now I'm a bit jaded on death, but I know if someone really close to me died, it would hurt. A lot. I don't know what I'd do if wifey died, for instance. And I've thought about it too, because I'm weirdly morbid at times. Then, in freshman year of college, my roommates had this guy they'd invite over a lot for parties. He was probably the only decent thing about my roommates. All around great guy, even when drunk. The week before Thanksgiving Break, we had him at one of the parties, and he and I talked for a good couple hours while a roommate was puking. Good times. The next week, he died from an aneurysm on break. Death is tough. The finality of it is hard to accept. Should we move on? Or is there a part of their memory we are required to hold back, to honor? Each person grieves in their own way. My way to grieve is to accept that they are gone, and to move on as if my life were the same. Does that make me insensitive? Maybe. But hey, it's the only way I can cope. |

The Embodiment of Earth
|
The way I dealt with my aunt's death in January was essentially to continue on forward. The night she died was the day before midterms started... Now I loved my aunt, she was essentially my second mother... And actually my godmother, so I spent a good hour just sitting and staring at the wall, and thinking of what I should do tomorrow, evaluating my mental state. What hit me was... My aunt was a strong woman, she'd raised 3 kids on her own, all almost to adulthood, and lived as she wanted to. She had breast cancer, and continued working until it finally moved to her lungs... And the only thing she regretted is that it upset her children. So that was my decision. Be unabated by my emotions and carry on. Even if I felt like crap, I'd continue my work and push as hard as I possibly could. I did pretty damn well on those midterms. ... That being said, you should sulk in a way that suits you. I was honoring my aunt... Had someone else died around the same time, I probably wouldn't have been able to do as I did, but she would have wanted me to carry on and keep her in my thoughts.

Bringing THIS baby back

I've actually never had anybody really close to me die, so I have no effective way to deal with death. The closest person to me to die was my biological father, when I was 9 months old, so I never knew him. |

The bored mutt
|
I personally haven't had anyone close to me die... but I think I'll have another problem there. I am... very good at disassociating myself. I do it all the time without noticing. I'm more worried I won't really feel much of anything when it finally happens for me. |

On the S.S. Cool Dude

Spoiler'd for semi-personal stuff/death Spoiler: click to toggle On a kind of happier note though, about 95% of the people at my school today wore white for rememberence for the guy who died yesterday. I also heard less crying in the halls too, so that's good. Thank goodness tomorrow is my last day for school for this week, I can barely take this in all honesty.
