i know you and you cannot sing...

i saw morrissey monday night at the norva in norfolk. it was great to finally see him perform in person. he opened with 'the queen is dead' and i have to admit that my heart did jump a little.

hometown boy makes good. if any one is going to get on stage at a concert it's vab's own timmy. here he is towards the end of 'how soon is now?".

overall it was a very good show. we did kind of get new'd to shit, but he played 'national front disco' and a night with morrissey can only be but so bad.

look out fabes...

...cuz my boy is fierce.


the other week my friend ryan parker won his first pro mma fight. disproving conventional wisdom that you should always bet against the guy with more tattoos. there was no need to go to the score cards on this one. ryan took him down, got side control, mounted and got the armbar inside of the 2 minute mark.

if you have myspace you can watch the fight here .

here is his fighter profile on sherdog.


congratulations ryan.

forgiveness...is more than saying sorry


i wasn't going to comment on the VT story at all. but this just blows my mind...

-------------

Virginia Tech pays respects to victims, and gunman.


BLACKSBURG, Virginia (Reuters) - Mourners gathered on Saturday for the funerals of many of the 32 victims killed at Virginia Tech as some students extended a note of forgiveness to the gunman responsible for the massacre.

A small tribute to Seung-Hui Cho, who shot his victims then himself on Monday, has been added to a growing memorial of stones in the center of the sprawling university in southwest Virginia where knots of weeping students continue to gather.

"I just wanted you to know that I am not mad at you. I don't hate you," read a note among flowers at a stone marker labeled for Cho. "I am so sorry that you could find no help or comfort."

-------------

later on in the article it says...

-------------

REMEMBERED EQUALLY

At Virginia Tech, graduate student Chris Chabalko, 29, said adding a stone memorial for Cho was fair.

"He was a student. Thirty-three people died," said Chabalko. "There's nothing anyone can do about it now. We've got to remember them equally."

wow, so this is where our society is at? we can no longer look at evil in the face and identify it? can't wait to see the charles manson shrine they are putting in at sharon tate's house.
