Aaron said I could do an angry/sad rant, so I am.
On Sunday, my 16 year old relative Zachary told his parents he was going to bed and instead, took his parents' Acura and picked up his buddies. They were drinking and not wearing their seatbelts, and the car hit a tree, killing Zachary and his Best friend instantly, the other passenger is still in critical condition at a nearby hospitial.

On Wednesday, my Mom and I went down for the Funeral. The day before, they had visiting hours at the funeral home and thousands of people showed up. 350 out of the 1066 kids in his school showed up for the funeral. The last time I saw him was at my Aunt's funeral earlier this year. It was the first Catholic thing I've ever been to. The Priest (or pastor, or Reverend, or Father, or whatever he went by) said that Zachary was the first child he had both Baptized and buried. When they were putting his casket in the ground, His mother embraced the grave and repeatedly said "I don't want to leave".

I tried to get back into the swing of things today, and I should have been somewhat happy that Class elections had started today. But 5 minutes inside the school, after an emotionally draining funeral, and this is what I hear from Pat O'Reilly and Ames "If you run for president, Ben, You're going to lose!" The fucking spineless dick-faced cock-sucking son of a bitch. If I had an ounce less self control, I probably would have killed him (Not literally). Ms. Carr told Mr. Ogilby and Ms. Rentz what happened, so they were easier on me, which I didn't really like. I am just selfish or something? I just don't think I should be getting Preferential treatment because someone in my family died.

The thing I most wanted today was probably a hug or an arm to cry on or something. but I'm Ok now. Had I mentioned it to more people, I probably would have gotten what I wanted, but oh well.

I just wanted to tell you guys that I love you. Not in that sort of way, but you guys are my best friends in the whole world and if god forbid something should happen to one of you guys, I want the last thing I said to you to be that.
I'm re-doing this so you guys can see the pictures. Sorry.
