An 18 year old kid from my hometown died in an accident this past weekend. Let a friend of his drive his souped up SRT4, and the kid rolled it trying to take a turn at like 80 mph. They had his wake tonight, and afterward all the kids in town met up at the mall, doing burnouts kn the parking lot and other retarded shit.

Now, as far as I am concerned, this is 100% proof that society is getting more retarded as the years pass. I already knew this, but I am fairly certain that this is scientific evidence of said theory.

Ah, I was trying to figure out what you meant on that status update.

Millbury peeps gon' be maaaad when they see that. Meh?

"We were all so sad when he died but it's ok now that people are driving like idiots again."

mankind needs to be destroyed

Fast cars are Darwin's little experiment.

of all of the people i've met from Millbury, Mike and Gaucher are the only cool ones. so one less Millburian is a-ok in my books.

My sister knew him I think. I say fuck that mall, let the kids tear that up.

Parents buy kid a car that he has absolutely no business having, lets his buddy drive it that doesn't have the experience or wisdom required, ridiculous car and novice driver out of the equation. Friends party in his name afterward. I don't see anything out of place here.

....Mike, you ever ask any parents the shit they did 30, 40 years ago? These kids are posers compared to them.

How many books?!

It takes balls to roll a heavy sedan, I'll give him that.

LOL

It takes adrenaline. Anyone could have that. Pretty sure it just takes stupidity to let that conquer everything else.

Well, yeah.

my name captain_obvious.

All I am saying is that doing the same shit that got a kid killed, after his wake, is fucking raviolis.

Also, kids 30-40 years ago mostly drove shitboxes because their parents were smart enough to know that learning how to drive in an inexpensive car that can barely do 60 was a better idea than learning how to drive in a Hemicuda.

play CB-Tag or you are a pussy

not to mention that the cars were fucking tanks. the only tanks that have been invented.

every volume, every edition.

Greg something??? I saw a flyer at work about this and seriously thought it was a busser.

Shit just got real.

No Cliff Notes

zang

apparently most if not all of the kids in that car were driving drunk, blew past a cop, got scared, tried to slow down, and slammed into a light post which then fell on top of the car.
one of the kids currently in my program was good friends with those who were in the accident so i got the details of the story that didnt make the newspaper. also the kid who died was an only child according to my momma dukes who works in the public school system and is somehow connected to his mom. its a sad story all around.
even sadder though, as you pointed out, is that all the rest of the kids think the best way to celebrate his life is by doing the kind of stuff that took his life. it certainly isnt limited to this generation though. i lost a good friend to a speedball-induced brain aneurism in high school. a few hundred people showed up for that funeral, and what do you think half of them were doing for days afterwards? getting ridiculously fucked up "in his honor". i know people who still, 12 years later, go to his grave to smoke blunts and pour shots on the ground for his b-day... anyway, irony is what it ammounts to. irony and lack of recognition of their own mortality. then again, those who die young are immortalized in our minds....
whatever. point is simply that the words "teeneger" and "reckless" go hand in hand. always have, probably always will. as the years pass, kids are raised with increasingly more destructive means of exercising this rite of passage. in theory, the more tools we are given to destroy our future selves, the fewer foolish people we will have living on the planet. or maybe just more boring people? i'm hoping for the former.

(add that to your book yeti!)
