‘GABOS’

Anyone who thinks Halloween is a bunch of crap should try celebrating one in Colombia. Particularly in this lovely year of 2012. That’s when a suitcase bomb is reported to have exploded near a town square where 5,000 children were celebrating Halloween. 

The blast killed two suspected culprits and injuring over 30 people, including two boys who had to be hospitalized in critical condition. The two dead bombers were suspected members of a drug-trafficking group, who hated the local Police so much they decided they should bomb one of its post, near where the bomb went off.

Lovely, lovely Halloween…Well. I guess ‘the game’ is not about sympathy. 

Never was and never is

Chaos reveals

I was in chaos once, and boy was that a time to miss. Hate and blood clinging so thick in the air you can lick the reek of every salty, fresh wound.  

Anyone who has experienced the ecstatic explosion of pent up frustrations, the gush of hateful groundswell, must know the delightful bloodlust that it entails.

I don’t know much about anything, but one thing’s clear. When life is as cheap as a rusted machete, and a dug up hole of dirt, that is the time when all hypocrisy is revealed… 

And we all returns to beast

Deathly New Year - Part 2

Small Arkansan town, Beebe was stirred to life in the early days of 2012 when dozens of blackbirds fell dead across the town. The birds landed on roofs, sidewalks, streets and fields. One struck a woman walking her dog. Another hit a police cruiser. The incident even prompted local Police to ban residents from shooting fireworks.

It wasn't immediately clear if fireworks were again to blame, but authorities weren't taking a chance. Besides, scientists also said loud cracks and booms from celebratory fireworks are likely to send the birds into such a tizzy that they could crash into homes, cars and each other before plummeting to their deaths.

As if that wasn't curious enough, the blackbird die-off had been preceded by the dead of tens of thousands of drum fish that washed up on the shores of the Arkansas River, back in early 2011. That incident alone had flung the state into the national headlines. It has also drawn conspiracy theorists and filmmakers to the town ever since.

What a great little town.

It reminded me of Thou’s debut album cover way back in 2007. I think it would be great if something as morbid as that album cover or the songs it contained could happen in Beebe too...
