$200K in just over a day.  Really makes me believe that regardless of where we derive our senses of morality from, most of humanity is still good at heart.

But on a more positive note, I just found out an online fund has been set up to help one of my high school crew team coach's students and her mother, who were severly injured in one of the blasts.  In just a few hours, people have already donated over $57K.  Faith in humanity = hanging in there.

Gotta "love it" when some internet bored morons, instead of paying respect to the sad moment Boston is going through, are filling pages with stupid photoshopped pictures and illuminati bullshit to get their 5 minutes attention show.

This is REAL life, you idiots: don't measure it on how many "likes" you're gonna get on your stupid fake pictures.

Enough for today. Pissed.

Good night, to the smart and respectful people out there.
I know you are the majority, thank Goodness.

But on a more positive note, here's a more uplifting quote by a childhood friend of mine:

When you watch the footage, what do you see through the smoke and panic? You see civilians, coming together to help. Not after the chaos, not days later, as soon as the explosion, you see them in unison with the Armed Forces, police, EMT and firefighters. Just goes to show you that Boston is still filled with the great American patriots it was when this country started.

But I suppose when it's my time, it's my time.  I mean, you could technically get hit by a drunk driver and potentially killed any time you're on the road, but that doesn't stop people from riding in cars.

I just heard somebody else could expect something like this at New Years' Eve in Times Square at this point.  It's just... insane.

...Or, strike what I said.  There were homemade bombs, but luckily not all of them went off.  Two are apparently being disarmed now.

I think I just heard someone interviewed who claimed he saw a garbage barrel blow up.  Sounds like a bomb scare for sure, and I really, really was hoping it was just a technical failure like an electrical fire...
