[sexy.time]

Ok so ill start off by saying my good friend Eric Olsen was brutally beaten to death on the 27th, Now its really been hard for me but i try to think of how he lived a life that was full of excitment. He only lived to be 20 but he was a awesome person these two have helped me Imensly.*

1.life is not measured by how many breathes we take, but by how many moments take our breath away.

2.The dates on a gravestone are not what matters, what really matters is the dash inbetween.

if you have a good quote plz post it. even if it doesnt relate to the situation very much.

thats an awful situation, i'm sorry for your loss..

one of my friends' gravestones reads... "only the good die young" he died at 19.. good quote to think about when people are taken from you at such a young age

i see, well heres a link to the page they have for his investigation if you wanna check it out. eric olsen › deadmonton 2007 › deadmonton › edmonton › last link on the left
Its kinda sad this girl that is pregnant was at first saying it not his, its gotta be this other guy. and since he has died she is CERTAIN its his. I honestly hope it is but shes just saying its his cuz he died. Probably didnt realize how much she liked him until he was gone.....
heres another good quote.

We are never so hopelessly in love than when we loose it.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I cannot come up with a quote right at this moment, but If I think or see something I will post it.

 

[Suzie]

They must feel so tough, being that it took a bunch of them to gang up on one guy. Tough.

 

[sexy.time]

oh i know. its crazy. he tried to run away and climbed on top of a roof. they climbed up there too and beat him down. then continued to after he had fallen. I have lost friends to car accidents and suicides before and that was rough. but never murdered. most of the guys that were involved were charged and are waiting to make their plea. so that a bit of justice....

 

[Suzie]

Well I am glad to hear that there is some justice for his friends and family. They should be shipped off to Pelican Bay State Prison and spend the rest of their sorry excuse for a life there.

I love dt3's signature
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

—Marine Lieutenant Colonel Jeff Cooper, The Art of the Rifle

 

[dt3]

I was actually just gonna post that! It may not be inspirational, but it's the truth.

 

[dt3]

Here's another one by the same guy:

"The rifle is a weapon. Let there be no mistake about that. It is a tool of power, and thus dependent completely upon the moral stature of its user. It is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying groups of enemies on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized."

One of the quotes of my signature on PH

[Kyryahn]

A well known one I guess, but as a French I discovered it recently and for me it's really the meaning of life...
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving all pretty and preserved,but rather skid on the broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming… ‘WOW’ What a ride!"

 

[Eridanus]

One I wholeheartedly believe, and try to live by...

Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
Life is beauty, admire it.
Life is bliss, taste it.
Life is a dream, realize it.
Life is a challenge, meet it.
Life is a duty, complete it.
Life is a game, play it.
Life is a promise, fulfill it.
Life is sorrow, overcome it.
Life is a song, sing it.
Life is a struggle, accept it.
Life is a tragedy, confront it.
Life is an adventure, dare it.
Life is luck, make it.
Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
Life is life, fight for it.

That's by Mother Teresa, BTW.
