I love how when someone dies, everyone was automatically such a good friend of the person who died. This kid Kelvin got hit by a car last night, and now all these kids have away messages up about how they don't know how they're going to go on without and him and such. But there's so many of them, and I can tell you right now that this Kelvin kid is probably up in heaven going "Since when was I friends with that person?" or "I never said that to so and so."
I know that some kids are genuinely upset about it, but I'm almost positive that the people who were really good friends with the kid wouldn't be online telling everyone about how good of a friend Kelvin was to them. Or starting myspace bulletins like this:
R.I.P Kelvin Jackson
As many of you know in Englewood, Kelvin Jackson died last night (7/20/05). Hit by a car walking home from teen night at the bowling alley. This is a sad and very tragic event, and hurts me to a point that I never thought that I could be hurt at. Kelvin was a great freind, and an awsome person, making every one around him happy. It is sad that he had to leave us so soon, but God has his reasons for doing what he dose. If you miss him, cared for him, loved him, or was his freind sign and repost this message in memory of him.
For whatever reason it makes me so annoyed. If you want to remember him, do something for him like this in real life. Make a scrapbook and have people sign it. Something that is more concrete than a bulletin board that's messages are deleted in a few weeks.
