Life, flimsy as a candle in the wind...

The flimsy nature of life just really dawned on me this morning.


Getting to work on any given saturday morning is always laborious for me (whether or not i clubbed on friday night)
So my grouchy self was driving out to work at 8:forty something and i see that the cops have blocked off a major part of my trip.
WARRA HELL!!! these fools did not even give us a detour so i had gone into some neighbourhood trying to find a detour and i ended up exactly where i started, but by then the blockade was gone...Stupid police!!! I kept driving.
I later see the cops all parked beside a sleek SLK convertible Benzi, only when i got to the side of it did i realize what the problem was;
The whole of the drivers' side was ridden wif bullet holes. I did not start counting (cos i am not wif forensics) but it could not have been less than 20 holes. Like 5 on the driver's window and the window did not even shatter (benzis are good cars)
Of course, the driver lost his life!! just like that... a candle in the wind...
Dude must have just been either driving to or from his home early this morning o, minding his business (i know he was minding his business cos his windows were up. how much trouble can you make when your windows are up?), feeling good abt his life and his sweet ride and then some crazy dude just showered him wif 'hot pellets'. Maybe he did not even get the time to think "what the fuck is this hot metal burning into my body?" "who did this?" "why?" and all the other kinds of questions you can have at that moment.
Life is fleeting!!!


This also brought to mind the other dude that just walked into a class in Illinois and just started sending little hot metal packages with no names on them. if you catch it, its yours!!!
what the hell? I mean who goes to class and expects to get shot there? they actually tell kids to go to skool so they dont get shot up on the block and now the bullets have come to skool with us? thats prolly the last thing you will think.
They were prolly just thinking how boring this professor is and then in comes the sicko holding a gun, they think its a joke and next thing, he goes all Rambo/Commando on them. Again, people lost their lives; on a day they just thought to go and listen to a boring lecture? The second time a classroom turns into the middle east in a matter of seconds.
Life is fleeting!!


I mean, nobody goes out in the morning thinking, "i might get shot today" except of course, those in Iraq and other war zones; and even those ones have some kind of faith that they will not get shot TODAY. But those people who are NOT on the war front are getting killed just like that. It is crazy to think how one can be chilling and thinking about some random sturves one moment and the next thing you know, you feel it before you hear it; and thats it.

Moral of this write up:

Life is fleeting, thank God for every moment you get and use it to the best of your ability.
Make sure you pray to God for protection everyday, we are in the valley of the shadow of Bullets
When you are in class, get the biggest dude in your class to sit by the door and screen those coming in. Class Bouncer
Buy a bullet proof car if you can, if not, pray hard; especially if you live in the DMV

I thank God for my life, my Family, My loved ones, My friends, my Blog friends...and every one i know.
God please Protect us o!!
