Shakespeare in the Park (Aug 2nd)

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
The night is either going to be the 2nd or 3rd of August at Samuell Grand Park in Dallas.
The Gates open at 7pm and I will purchase tickets early for anyone letting me know ahead of time that they want to go. Don’t worry about repaying the admission unless you REALLY insist.
Purchasing tickets early will get us in before the massive crowd of people are allowed to get in on the freebie/pay-at-gate entry.

Since it’s a Saturday or Sunday, this could easily be turned into a nice grilling afternoon or some facsimile thereof.

Please email/comment back date preferences between the two before friday so I can let everyone know when and start planning whatever it is I am going to cook up 😉

Blurry

By Puddle of Mudd

You find yourself wondering just who it is you’re looking at in the mirror. Is it the ambition, the risks, the drugs, the friends, the enemies…the list continues. One look in the mirror and the lines are drawn, you’ve slipped in a moment to look at yourself objectively, and provided you’re not just trying to shave…it’s not such a bad thing to reflect upon. Who are you? More importantly who are you without her?

Life’s full of woulda-coulda-shoulda. Stop trying to be happier and just try to be happy. Sets the standard by which you are comfortable with your life and those you include in it.




and tragedy strikes

So many of my friends assumed that all these very old circle of friends started with Amtgard…nope…we were pretty tight long before…
…when they remember Micah, a brutal slaying…they remember those who committed that vile act…so many blame Amtgard, more specifically a few within the game…they were utterly wrong…place blame at the feet of insobriety and reckless indifference to self-control…the entire circle swam in it…and most of the circlewere barely able to doggie-paddle. When 30-40 people dismiss responsibility with themselves…with each other…collateral damage is a certainty…that collateral damage comes in the form of wounded and ruined lives.

Unfortunately…I never would have thought to have heard what I’ve heard and read what I’ve read.
That very large circle of old friends is again burdened with unfathomable tragedy…as I read about this I am just speechless.
On Monday June 23rd, an old friend I haven’t seen or heard from since Micah left us…this is just crazy…I just cant seem to wrap my brain around it…
…the news says the police saw the children laying in a bed covered in blood and when they kicked in the front door were forced to shoot Scott (he charged them). The blood all over the children was their fathers, not their own…and the cause of death in the children is likely being withheld. A lot of people are drawing conclusions about Scott where information about his children simply isnt forthcoming from the police.

My roomate is dating someone from the gang…she had forgotten that we had the same circles at one time, and was seeming a bit stressed and then realized I might have known Scott. Thats when she just let it rip…”Scott Montgomery commited suicide after killing both his children.” I dont think I’ve been sucker-punched so swiftly…I was kindof speechless. I had to think back on it. Scott?! “Bullshit” I thought…no way he did it. I read a couple articles(links below) and then realized that this was fucked up. I have (still) so many questions. How did the children die? How did the children die? and how the FUCK did the children die? I’ve never thought of Scott as being aggressive…HELL…he used to date one of my best friends back in the RHPS days.

I read another one of the gang’s blogs…this is just…god it’s weird. I think I am just going to do some heavy linking and stop now…I need a drink.
