Um...

Someone I politely knew was killed pretty grimly yesterday, I'm not going to link to the story right now because it's making my stomach churn. Plus does anybody's family want their relations death all over the internet? You can't even die in peace and private anymore.

It has really shaken me up, taken me back to a certain place, is and making me re-question a few things as reminders of mortality always do. These mortality reminders are particularly piquing when that person was relatively young, and was one of those bounce around, full of life people who had really taken the reigns of life and played against the system to do what she wanted to do.

Yet another reminder that you can be loving life one minute, and knocked off your bike and gone the next.. And yet there is still no happy medium to be found for living in the now versus the plan of the rest of your life. And those shock sudden deaths leave so much unsaid and undone. Urgh death, perhaps a topic too heavy for a blog, but where else are these things discussed.

I hope she was knocked unconscious straightaway and so didn't feel too much pain. I can hear her voice in my head and picture her vividly in a couple of scenarios. Memories haunting much?

Quick stuff thing

Ok so my UK audience (wait I'm the only one reading this thing) posssibly hasn't heard of the website Etsy yet. It's a funny little thing which sells hand-made 'stuff'. Whilst there are some things on there that are perfectly tasty like this jewellery, other things are wow jeez, don't even know what to say, just wow jeez like this donkey.

The mockashockability of so many of the 'goods' has led to another website springing up called Regretsy which pretty much features all of the wow jeez WHY! stuff. Check it, funny stuff.
