Yes, the Ever-lasting contrast. Since existence has known, the 'fight' between good & evil has continued. Obviously, this fight can never end. Good things turn bad, bad things become good. My fav. contrasting symbol, because it is so true & means so much – the battle between good & bad never ends… Here we ponder on the tragedy of Dylan Klebold.
The two had enemies on their personal ’(S)hit Lists’ that they’d accumulated over a period of time – however, their actual plans for 4/20 ‘NBK’ devolved into a goal of decimating part of the school by way of their propane bombs and killing unfortunates inside that happened to be in that vicinity as well as any fleeing students that crossed their paths wherever they would roamed that day. When the bombs did not blow, the essential plan stayed the same in that the two ended up having a free-for-all – shooting whoever and whatever was in their sights. So, to answer your question, no one in particular was targeted on that day. Random students were either shot at blindly or mocked for whatever reason they felt like it at the moment and shot at.
Also holy shit, a background! Or at least, an attempt at one. I never do backgrounds. Somebody call the police.
Also want to add that Dylan’s slouch and overall awkward gait completes me. Being a PC gamer/builder and all around computer enthusiast myself I’ve developed the same slouch over the years lmao. Only mine’s a lot worse. I’m like 88% Hunchback of Notre Dame status now
I like both actually. This is more a detail version. And spot the subliminal ‘V’ crease that was actually on his shirt. 😏
Yes, this is the typical Friday-Saturday night titillating tripe that comes through.
I’ll be a good sport and answer at least one of them: NO, none of these types of questions will be included on my FAQ.
Btw, I know who one of you is that’s doing this (if not all of you) and I know for a fact that this particular person does not like feet. Ahem. Please cease and desist these redundant smutty questions in my very filled-up in box. It’s getting pretty tedious already. K, thanks.
P.S. This post is temporary.. just thought y’all might like to see what I have to put up with, especially on weekends. *rolls eyes skyward*
Healing and compassion for her and her family, knowledge and empowerment for the world, and for us: deeper insight regarding Dylan within the context of his family, memories recounted from her mind that we can reflect upon so as to put more of the puzzle pieces in to place, never before seen photos to drink in – especially of the cactus variety. 😉
I believe thus far there is a US and an UK addition. There may be more later in other languages if the book is well received. I’m not entirely certain what is the criteria that prompts a book to be generated in other languages but for now it would appear English speaking language only at this point in time.
US Version
Again, as you can see from the Book Depository website, they mention that the audio cd version of the book is: Read by Sue Klebold (*flails & squees*)
Mm, I think Dylan knew about bits of the manifesto Eric was writing for his infamous ‘foreshadowing’ post mortem but I don’t think Eric knew about Dylan’s journal. At all. whatsoever. lol
“A day does not pass that I do not feel a sense of overwhelming guilt–both for the myriad of ways I failed Dylan and for the destruction that he left in his wake… I think often of watching [fourth-grade] Dylan do origami… I loved to make a cup of tea and sit quietly beside him, watching his hands moving as quickly as hummingbirds, delighted to see Dylan turn a square of paper into a frog or a bear or a lobster. I’d always marvel at how something as straightforward as a piece of paper can be completely transformed with only a few creases, to become suddenly replete with new significance. Then I’d marvel at the finished form, the complex folds hidden and unknowable to me. In many ways, that experience mirrors the one I would have after Columbine. I would have to turn what I thought I knew about myself, my son, and my family inside out and around, watching as a boy became a monster, and then a boy again.”

Aww..Thanks for fulfilling my request @rainflesh Wow, you did that super fast and I’d only asked you just yesterday evening. haha It’s so perfect and lovely. ❤ Makes me teary eyed. So grateful you’re here on the tag to help bring these memories and anecdotes to life for all of us!
I feel like somehow this needs to be sent to Sue………… ❤
Seems so apropos that this delicate beautiful rendering of a memory recently posted on her website would be, sent along with all of our names in a show of support for her courageous move to open up to the public about her boy that became a monster and then a boy again…

From the very rare footage taped by Brooks, of Dylan age 16, playing video games on playstation (mostly tekken 3) and watching rammstein music video at his home with Zack and Brooks.
We can hear a girl(?) laughing, maybe it’s Devon Adams or Robyn.
Dyl (or perhaps someone else?) doing The Donald Duck.
Mm..no. Get ready for this: that’s Dyl laughing like a girl and someone else is doing The Donald Duck “Get the fuck out!” voice. Yep.
Ah, wishful thinking on his part? Because the facts tell a very different story, one that strongly indicates that Eric shot himself and first, before Dylan shot himself. See posts here and here
Last time for this question as it will be going up on the FAQ.
“I was taking a walk not long before he died, and I’d asked him, ‘Come and pick me up if it rains.’ And he did. He was there for you, and he was the best listener I ever met. I realize now that that was because he didn’t want to talk, and he was hiding. “ – Sue Klebold, Far From the Tree
