Tonight when I couldn't sleep, I figured I would break the monotony by watching a little tv for a while. And now I am just so horrified and pissed off (and ashamed of myself) that I needed to blow off steam.......let me explain.
Once in a while I will get bouts of insomnia that end up driving me insane. Not so much from the lack of sleep, but more so from the irritating road trips that my mind ends up taking me on. It always ends up in me questioning myself as to just how the HELL did I end up thinking about THIS??!!?? Oh I am sure some of you know what I am talking about....when you start out thinking how hot that guy looked at the store today which leads you to thinking that he reminded you of your first boyfriend, then THAT reminds you of your dates with him and the great makeout sessions you had and then through many other associations you end up crying to yourself after reliving the sexual abuse you experienced from your neighbor when you were five. Well, that's my example, I am sure everybody's mind trips take different routes, but you get my drift. Eventually, just about everything that I think about leads to something bad in my childhood. I realize that I am not the only person on earth to have had bad experiences as a kid but I also know that I have had more than what I should have.
Well, tonight was one of these nights, so I figured that maybe watching some tv would help break the cycle my mind was on. I skipped through the infomercials and home shopping channels and settled on watching a news station. After a few minutes, they started a report of the murder scene of a single mother and her five children..age range from 3 to 11 years old. They were found in the living room of their home bound and gagged and beaten to death....then they give the age and names of each child as they show the most recent picture of the mother and children taken together--I sit there stunned as I stare at the screen of the five beautiful little round faces before me. Oh my god, how horrible....who the hell could do such a thing??? HOW, HOW, HOW could anyone do something like that??? Well, to be honest, sometimes not knowing who or how is much more bearable.
They go on to report that there was one survivor of this gut wrenching crime...a 15 year old niece of the woman who was murdered. She was bound and beaten badly, but had faked like she was dead so the bastard thought he was done and left. She told the authorities that the man who did it was the father of one of the children. The mother was in a more stable relationship with yet another father of one of the children and was soon to be getting married and start living "right". After finding out about the pending marriage, this sick bastard decides that HE should have been the one that the woman decided to marry and goes to the house in a desperate attempt to win her over. As in all love loss stories, this leads to them fighting and the woman telling that it was too late. This is when he started to scream and rant that "Well, if I can't have you and them kids, then nobody can!!!!". Then he tied them all up....lined the children on the floor..... and proceeded to beat the mother to death in front of them. After which, he beat the children one by one until he was sadistically satisfied.
When the news story was done, I sat there with tears streaming down my face from the shock and horror. The thought of five innocent babies being brutally beaten only after being made to watch it happen to their mother--and for one child, by daddy nonetheless. I couldn't help but want to take away what that poor 15 year old girl had witnessed...to take away what sickening and demented images that freakin nutjob had etched into her forever. Sadly, it made me wonder if surviving the whole ordeal would be worse for her than being murdered. In light of what I had just seen and heard, it made me feel very small for drudging through my "hard luck childhood"---and started to be thankful for what I never had to endure...I will have the thought of this young girl forever tucked away in my heart....with the hope that she will lead the happiest life possible.

that is pretty shitty, but if thats one of the worst things that happens to her, i still say she has it better than most.

highly disturbing, though a bit naive at the end.
you will get used to all this shit, and learn to bury it away and ignore it, don't worry.

Jesus. Not too uplifting, but great writing. Anyway, my mind does that too. Lately, I just wish my mom could be at my wedding in Oct. Like the end of your post said, cheer up, because there's so much in the NOW to be thankful for.

I couldn't fall asleep last night either. With the recent death in the family, and other recent troubles in my life on my mind, I couldn't relax enough to sleep.
All my problems now seem insignificant compared to this poor child.

I might've voted higher, but "Made me smile" and "Kicker of all ass" didn't seem right, considering the topic.
