Unbeing dead isn't being alive.

This is my first blog here at blogspot.
My name is Lindsay Lee, and I am a student at Westside High School.
I guess at least someone will be reading my blogs here from now on.
Let's begin.

Yesterday (12/5/07) there was a shooting massacre at Westroads Mall in the department store called Von Maur. This happened in my city of Omaha, NE; to be more specific, 5-7 minutes away from my house. Today at school only one of my teachers skipped their daily learning schedule to have us all share our opinions/feelings on this tragic event. I guess I didn't really expect all my teachers to talk about it with us, but for some reason I was really affected by what happened. I really needed to talk to someone (at least that's how my feelings felt). Maybe I was being hostile but I was really aggravated how people would walk through the halls laughing, and complaining when this just happened. I don't know- at the same time though, hundreds if not thousands of people die in Darfur daily.

After just analyzing my feelings for a brief moment I suppose what I really mean is that I don't know how to feel.
I want to help.
