First and foremost, just wanna say rest in peace to Sally Ride (first woman to travel to space) and Sherman Helmsley (George Jefferson from The Jeffersons who just passed away today), as well as the 12 who got their lives taken away during the midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises at Aurora, Colorado last week.
Obviously, nobody wants to hear and read about news that involves those type of drastic tragedies like I mentioned in the previous paragraph. Its makes us distracted and feel alot worse later emotionally to some degree. For the past few days, the city in Aurora, Colorado has been dealing with grief and sorrow from a massacre that really wasn't meant to take place. Hearing that 12 people (that's TWELVE people including a three month old) were killed at that cinema got me upset to the point were I just want to ignore hearing everything about the incident that night. I also feel bad to the rest of the movie goers that were there who survived the shooting spree. They got traumatized and emotionally shocked from being there and witness all the crazy shit that went down in that theater during The Dark Knight Rises screening. Now that shit is going to overshadow the movie itself for quite a while.
I read some background from different news sites for any information about James Holmes, the mid-twenties "man of the hour" suspect who went bat-shit (no pun intended) in that shooting spree by taking 12 casualties in Aurora. What I read was that this fool grew up a decent life in San Diego, getting on the Principals list in High School and doing well in UC Riverside... until somehow he started heading towards a downward spiral and began experiencing a twisted side, like his hair color for example. Either way, this dude is super fucked.
As for myself, I haven't been on here for two weeks cause of my recent job at Bezold Photography in the Topanga Mall. Mostly there full time on the weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday), so the weekend recaps will tend to be stale for a while unless if something dope happens during the work week. I take photos of an average of 15 clients a day there, which makes us the most busiest kiosk in the entire mall and the fact that some of the people who shop at the Topanga mall are mostly mid-to-upperclass upscale blokes coming from the affluent areas Tarzana, Calabasas and Woodland Hills. If anyone is planning on hitting up the Topanga Mall on the weekends, stop by and visit for support, even if you don't plan on getting some photos taken. We're downstairs between the Kids Foot Locker (I'm surprised they sold out of the Olympics VIIs from last Saturday) and the Vans store. The rest of the four days of the week was just resting at my place.
By the way, I think I'll retire from dropping by The Grove at Farmers Market from now on. Been going there for the past four years since my homegirls Jade and Tracy took me there for the very first time back in June 2008. That place is now mostly full of tourists and a bunch of stars that I never even heard of. I'll fuck with the Americana at Brand more often and I need to check out the Commons in Calabasas since its owned by the same people who created The Grove.
Thanks for your time reading this. And shoutout to those still seeking jobs out there in this tough-ass economy. I have to spend the rest of the week with the little brother by helping him looking for a new job in the Valley, but hopefully he and everyone else will find somewhere to make some cash at a place they're comfortable at
