Crashed

I just rewatch the movie Crash. You know the movie, the one when that little girl made everyone cry because she saved her father with the invisible cloak thing...you know you cried to.

Anyways, when the mother identified her "baby's" body at the morgue, she cried. It got me thinking.
Do parents cry when their child gets shot because they were murdered or because they were in a situation to get shot, in the first place?

I don't want to sound insensitive but if my son was killed I'd be devestated, of course, but I would also feel like a terrible parent because I didn't teach him well enough to not get into a stupid situation to die like that.

I know I know, accidents happen.
But accidents can be prevented...which in some circumstances, an accidental pregnancy may cause me to weep in the same way as if for a death. But it really wasn't accidental now was it?! :/

Fate, coincidence is now what you may throw out there. Weird how religion gets into a conversation when all I watched was Crash...kinda snuck up on me...like an accident.

In the Beginning

My first official blog I suppose and a part of me feels that I pose a question to you that reveals a little bit of my personality as well.

So:
If you eat a booger does that mean you're a cannibal?
If fire were water would that mean air was dirt?
Finally: Can you answer this question in anyway that would make an impact on society?

Now that I got that done.
I work at a grocery store, I'm a manager, its not pleasant. So some of the stories I may share with you will come from that. Others are just stupid thoughts like those above. I am also a writer, author and I dable in boredom and procrastination.
I hope to share excerpts from my novel, "Primetime" here as well:

Primetime: A Novel explores the idea of celebrity through the viewpoint of a grocery manager in a small Midwestern town. Sam explores the meaning of celebrity after he is the lone survivor of a rare drive by shooting in little Waukaponeda, Michigan. He describes employees, customers, conversations and his own dealings with survivors guilt, he has in order to finally come to an understanding and an acceptance of what celebrity and fame really means, in a small town. 

In Primetime, Sam’s struggles with customers who scam, threaten, unmedicated, drunk, illiterate and simply stinky, as well as employee’s harassment and unprofessionalism, while also giving an insiders view of aspects of the grocery business. His dating and love life are explored in new ways with a a number of women and his coming to terms with two previous relationships all because he survived the shooting.
