RIP Sarah Landauer - Off-topic

I would like to take the time to tell everyone that a high school student in my town (Gainesville, Florida) passed away after collapsing at soccer practice at her high school.
You can read about it here.
It's an extremely tragic situation and devastated our community.
RIP Sarah.

She was only 17 years old and had scholarships for colleges for soccer.
Her heart failed and no one knows why.

Yeah I know how it feels.
The school was like a funeral for more than a week.

My best friend out of high school had a heart problem that caused him to drown in Lake Orville over 15 years ago I'm still not over it nor will i ever be.
Kinda makes you wonder about life when good people die so young

Sorry to hear this. My general area has seen more than a few senseless/unexplained high school sports deaths in the past couple years.

I used to live in gainsville (now in west palm). Sorry to hear...
You never know when "its your time"..

im sorry for your loss ...
check out this comment on the story , it explains all

Shame on that doctor that cleared Sarah to play. Her death could have been prevented. Our son passed away from Sudden Cardiac Death 18 months ago. He was 15 years old and an amazing athlete. He never had symptoms and he simply collapsed and died. This is a travesty for this family like the other 2 families that lost their sons this last week. We have started a foundation in the name of our son and we go from high school to high school in the San Diego, Ca. area screening kids for Sudden Death. We have found a hand full of them. Please screen your children. Please visit our son's website www.epsavealife.org

im not quite sure i understand... oh wells, hows it feel to be old? or at least older than me?
You have all the stuff your parents *****ed about while you were growing up to look forward to. The older you get the more you wish you could go back in time and re live high school. Resposibility comes with age and responsibilty just sucks.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!........
good day.
@souljaboy ummmm, goodnight/morning or what ever friggin time it is where you are.
hmmmm.... so its taxes, getting married, taxes, having kids, taxes, marital stress, taxes, and parental stress, and then living out the rest of your life in decreasing health conditions, which add ANOTHER layer of stress. did i mention taxes? isnt growing up just great?
new plan for my life: either invent time machine or youth potion.

At 43, can't really complain, altough I did had some troubled time last months (not really finished, but close). But as the saying goes, a problem can be an oportunity, so I'm starting all over!
Yeap, single again, moving to another city, changing my professional life upside down, new friends, new girlfriends...
Life's good at 43, feeling like 20+.
Hey, OP, congrats, and don't worry, for every con, there's a pro.

Very sad, yet very true. I saw a clip if it on YouTube and I will say, though I am DEFINITELY not the first, that he is a 12 year old girl trapped in the body of a boy who came to realize that and somehow managed to turn himself into Americas most desirable minor.

Not much older then you, I am 23 mid october - but I am loving how things are in my life. Okay so there are loats of responsibilities, and a mortgage. But at the same time, the things that come with them are well worth it! I have a gorgeous fianceé and a wonderful daughter, and a nice big house just for the 3 of us!
I didn't go to Uni, thats the con. But the pro: I wouldn't have all of what I have if I did!

Can't answer your quiston cuz im younger than you But HappY BirthDaY for tomorow

I survived, so did everyone else

Im not gonna tell the whole story but monday there was a bomb threat, nothing happend. Today there was a rumor that there was going to be a school shooting during the peprally for tomorrows basketball game. Half the people wernt there at school so we just messed around all day. Anyways they found 3 guys with guns and the girl that had the bombs (Im not sure if she had them with her but it kinda sounded that way when the cops were talking about it) but they were all at school when they found them. Think of how bad that would of been if they started shooting and the bomb went off with everyone packed in the gym. Theres 2500 people at my school.
I think i counted 15-20 local cops and 2 or 3 FBI agents. Along with the local bomb squad. The cops were there the whole day and the others got there around lunch.
where the hell do you live?
Holy moly buddy! I'm glad nobody got hurt. Perhaps time for a different learning venue. Be careful out there man, sounds like some real dangerous fools are out and about.
Scent phrum mie fone!
Holy Crap bro.
follow up on the story , the busted kids are certainly being kicked out the school but if they just go to another school without a trial and reasonable fine/jail time , then u know its a set up , part of the establishments campaign against gun owners
Were bomb girl and columbine wannabes working together?
Wooaahhhh........
Glad your okay
I always though that schools where there for two things:
- learning things
- boring your time.
but now it seems that schools ar like cigarettes; thy can kill you

and now she's about to be gone.. Its just too hard for me now..
Sorry to rip you guys day...
Well, it's going to hurt for a long time... but it will not kill you. Good luck.
of cause I know... and of cause I know this post is just immature... but its just difficult. But I would rather prefer a reason not like this one..
thought I really found a soul mate, but guess its not what I thought..

We have a song in our country that says "Ο έρωτας με έρωτα περνάει" (love goes away with another love). Go out with the most braindamaged friends you got meet other people get drunk get arrested do anything just dont let it eat your insides
Well, I just broke up with my girlfriend last week...
well... depends on the faith you put in..
Shes dong you a favor. Instead of continuing with a broken relationship and leading you on, she ended it.
You are young, and if you experience more of life then youll know more of what you want and dont want.
She does not deserve you if she didn't/doesn't realize what you have/had together. Some people are blind to, what is right in front of them.
I didn't write that. Prove it!!!
Me and my girlfriend of 3 years broke up 3 months ago, she was a cheating whore. I'm still semi broken up about it cause I actually did love her. But you gotta be strong and move on, focus on yourself and you will do great things with your life.

Thanks guys.. your words and the wheel of time is the only cure as from now.
Guess I am just perceptual.. Thought I can do something for her at the end, but still I just couldn't do a single one.. We will both miss each other for our memories and importance, I ensure, things just didn't work out at the moment..
Given I lived 1/4+ of my life already, my purpose is still far from being reached.
much to learn son.. much to...

Cheating.. one of the most evil practices of humans.. This large brain enclosed in us gave us the ability to considerate, to control..

I was in a relationship with my girl friend for 3 years and she broke up with me . . . she told me that she just didn't feel the same that I was more of family as well . . . this was a few months ago and it still hurts . . . but life moves on right
And what about me....? I talked to her I liked her and she said "u are just a good friend"....

love is just dragging between lives. We just couldn't escape this.
Be graceful for what had been precious the most.
Regret only occur when you lost it, so does cherish...
Keep your head up! Stay confident, reassure yourself that you deserve better (or can get better), and spend time with friends!
Of course, time heals all wounds.

Almost got stabbed to death. (near death experience?)

Hey guys.
Something horrible happened to me today.
Here goes: Me and my other two friends, Adrian and Argelio were riding our bikes for like an hour outside. We rode everywhere and had no problems with anyone.
We turn at a school where we see a group of 5 kids all dark clothed and looking a little cholo. We ignore them and I'm just talking to my friend when suddenly we all hear the word ******. I just laughed and said "I love you too" they stop and all of them turn around and said something so we just ignored them. About 50 feet away now from them we were about to turn the corner and I decide to scream "I love you too" because all I was hearing was talking and screaming from them. WE suddenly see two of them on a bike and one running. Towards us.
We start peddling faster and like another 100 feet from them.......the damn bike chain gets loose so my friends are on their bikes and I have to run like 1/2 mile to my house with the damn bike on my side. My heart was pounding and I just kept running. We go to my house and this time I call my sister out thinking she might know some of them....turns out they're all in gangs and had knifes with them so I told her if she could come with us and talk to them....we went again and found them at a park...all of a sudden my sister and my friends all say.."RUN!" They want you so run, don't look back, they're gonna kill you. I started laughing and thinking "THIS ISN'T REAL" So I stayed thinking I could confront them and try to talk but one of them was just running at me saying. "Come on 1 on 1 pu**y, come, right here right now b*tch. I said, "I just wanted to say Hi" Now I though to my self ...Do I wanna live or get jumped and get rushed to the hospital....LIVE So I took all of my friends' advice and just rode. Luckily I run track and cross country so I had wayy more stamina than them..I go around the neighborhood and hide at home for a while....you might be thinking but cant you 10th grade friends beat them up?....no there was only 1 my age and the rest of my friends were like 12 year old because my real friends are lazy and play black ops......So they are no use to me in helping....
My friends and sister came back and told me "Alan you lucky son of a b*tch, my homeboy AJ called of his homeboys to chase you" "Your never bike riding without me"
So instead of what she said because it's confusing so I'm gonna tell you what she told me..
They were planning on all 3 of them jumping me..they all had knives and were probably gonna leave me dead in the street and flee themselves..
one of them (the one that was talking to me and wanted to fight me) has already killed 1 and was just released from jail...he is about my age and got kicked out of school because of all his gang stuff and smoking weed in the bathroomm
the second - AJ- he's on parrol and got kicked out of school too--he's 14
the 3rd Isaiah is some weed smoker that has been on probation and got kicked out of school too...
My sister then told me how as soon as they learned I was her brother they stopped.....and said if they ever saw me again..I better watch my back....
I'm not really scared...
They just freaked me out because they were horrible looking mexicanss
Well thats it!

This has happendd a couple times to us. We've had the local gang "get off" on us and oh man is it a scary experience. Being outnumbered, outaged and having to defend your own. My best friend has had a knife pulled at his stomach, I've almost gotten jumped for a blue bike. My advice is don't let them intimidate yOu. Next time some confronts you if they're unarmed don't say anything back, take flight immediately. Use all your brute force and aim for his jaw. His buddy's won't do a dam thing trust me on this one.

Still this was a bad ass thread.
Vibrant users have the best threads in off- topic!
Ah, the experience...
First of all, having a knife is pointless and gets you into more trouble than it's worth with school authorities.
Secondly, I fight dirty. Jaw? Please, the groin is more reachable.
Thirdly, and I don't teach this enough, is to learn to sacrifice your off-hand (left, as usual) to displace the opponent's weapon and groin him hard with your knee. Learn to deal with downward stabs, upward stabs, and swings. A weapon is useless at closer to arms-length, and that is great reason to learn Krav Maga or Muay Thai (I know a bit of the latter).
Fourthly, don't pick a fight you can't win.
My worse experience was being ganged up by a bunch of kids my age. About six of them, I believe. They circled me in the park and hit me from the back. In the end, I chased one of them down and beat him to a near pulp. His friends decided that running away from me and hitting my back was preferable to fighting directly, so I chased the slowest of the bunch and trashed him. Of course, they never bugged me again.
Another experience with knives was when I used my right hand (wrong hand) to fight off a knife attacker. Bled all over the place despite him not hitting an artery. Apparently, I broke his wrist and cracked his skull over the incident. As usual his friends left him high and dry when it got tough.
I'm from Argentina, and, just for the record, living here it's like being a marine in Irak, but, maybe, without the AK47 and all the Lady Gaga stuff XD

Good morning all

Hi.
Trent here. 32 years old living in Eastern Virginia. At a young age my mom knew to hide old electronics. VCRs, DVD players, television remote controls. Literally anything that had a microchip; my mother couldn't leave around around without it getting taken apart and totally RUINED. I did that with about, realistically, 12 of my mother's electronics.
Long story when I was 14 in 7th grade, my father bought me my first gaming computer. Usually prior to that I was ALL about nature and still am. But - the first time I pressed the power button on that alien faced computer tower. I instantly fell in love.
Back to 7th grade. There was this guy that literally rode my bus everyday from school on our usual bus route. He was very reclusive, and would sit on the bus seats with his legs tucked against the back rest in front of him. I was intrigued by this guy as he seemed like the type to be into electronics, so one day on the bus; I talked to him.
His name is Jonathan and he is still around today. Jonathan was a very quiet (and still is) loving, caring, super SUPER intelligent guy. When I first sat to him on this bus I'd asked him, if he played runescape. Mind you, this was in 2004 which every early MMO gamer knows; was in its PRIME at the time. There were no better years on RS between 2004-2008. Anyways.
Jonathan is an extremely quiet loving caring guy. Our first conversation is when I'd asked him that. He replied with no, I play KoL. I reply what is kol? He goes Kingdom of Loathing. So, he goes into what type of game it is. That is when our friendship turned into lifelong brotherhood. (As I am native American with dreadlocks, and Jonathan is Alaskan Caucasian descent with an eccentric afro. A literal afro. Trust me, he goes many stares where he went, but in a good way because he does have a distinct look.
ANYWAYS - as we get older we shy away from gaming and he gets more into IT stuff. He's building computers and everything at this time. At this point, is where is starts to teach me everything he knew about electronics and computers. Oh you me, and it sure was alot of information at the time!
Long story short, now I am 32 years old engaged with 2 beautiful children. 2 boys. I was reminded recently from a thought of mine, of Jonathan. I remembered a time he was first discovered jailbreaking, again teaching me all I knew. Now here I am! Trying to teach myself by learning from you guys and reading. Here goes nothing!
Thanks for having me!

Back to 7th grade. There was this guy that literally rode my bus everyday from school on our usual bus route. He was very reclusive, and would sit on the bus seats with his legs tucked against the back rest in front of him. I was intrigued by this guy as he seemed like the type to be into electronics, so one day on the bus; I talked to him.
His name is Jonathan and he is still around today. Jonathan was a very quiet (and still is) loving, caring, super SUPER intelligent guy. When I first sat to him on this bus I'd asked him, if he played runescape. Mind you, this was in 2004 which every early MMO gamer knows; was in its PRIME at the time. There were no better years on RS between 2004-2008. Anyways.
Jonathan is an extremely quiet loving caring guy. Our first conversation is when I'd asked him that. He replied with no, I play KoL. I reply what is kol? He goes Kingdom of Loathing. So, he goes into what type of game it is. That is when our friendship turned into lifelong brotherhood. (As I am native American with dreadlocks, and Jonathan is Alaskan Caucasian descent with an eccentric afro. A literal afro. Trust me, he goes many stares where he went, but in a good way because he does have a distinct look.
ANYWAYS - as we get older we shy away from gaming and he gets more into IT stuff. He's building computers and everything at this time. At this point, is where is starts to teach me everything he knew about electronics and computers. Oh you me, and it sure was alot of information at the time!
Long story short, now I am 32 years old engaged with 2 beautiful children. 2 boys. I was reminded recently from a thought of mine, of Jonathan. I remembered a time he was first discovered jailbreaking, again teaching me all I knew. Now here I am! Trying to teach myself by learning from you guys and reading. Here goes nothing!
Thanks for having me!
