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.
I’ve never seen this photo of Dylan this clear before, I’m just going to post this just in case no one else has either. It looks like he has braces in the photo to me.
(Delete the caption if you want)
Seventh grade Dyl with braces and his usual ju-ju necklace which appears to have a white cord instead of black. Still got the Klebold sneer-lines going on. 😉
Yep. Dyl’s hair looked fluffy and float-y, wafting out the sides of inimitable ball cap against the wind. From the look of it’s full, light and airy texture I’d say there’s a good possibility that Dyl took a shower that morning, washed his hair and *gasps* actually may have blow dried it a bit so that he wouldn’t be standing around in the bitter cold with wet curls in the midst of target practicing at Rampart Range. It was bright and sunny up there in those woods but also quite chilly, and their warm breathe is visible against the crisp-cold wilderness air. Anyone that has curly hair knows – myself included here 😉 – that when you blow dry your curly hair without using a special diffuser attachment on the end of your blow dryer, it’s going to puff ! fluff out really light and full and wavy. Hence, his adorbs angel-hair.. ❤
He used to, yes, in Freshman and part way through Sophomore year, geek that he was. Dyl used to hang out with his nerd group, Eric, Brooks, Zack and Nick Baumgart. Back then, they all dressed pretty much mainstream prep style. They’d all started cracking jokes and goofing off a bit too much in the library and would get into trouble for being too loud and disruptive so got kicked out a lot. Dyl progressively hung out less in the library as he gradually became more resentful of the school environment as a whole, avoiding all the locations that the ‘acceptable’ students spent time at. He would then choose to hang out at the TCM-outcast designated table area in the Commons. He’d show up either early in the morning and play cards there or goof off while having a quick breakfast of donuts and orange soda pop. Or he’d sometimes risk spending lunch hour there but preferred not to eat in the Commons often because of the potential harassment from jocks asserting their domain there. He’d hang out at in the computer lab (but even that room had it’s rules and limitations), the smokers pit or by other friends cars. When he finally got his BMW, he’d preferred going out to lunch or eating lunch in his own car. He also would smoke in his beamer while on school grounds which was a daring, rebellious streak for Mr. V. I’m sure he got a kick out of pushing the envelope in small ways like that.. 😉
My opinion is that it presents as a message of love, light, inspiration and truth but amounts to no more than a propaganda pack of lies. Horrible Dylan? Don’t you mean horrible everything? My take here.
To my knowledge there is no details from the crime scene investigators as to whether Dylan’s eyes were open or closed when they found him. A lot of those important, standard procedure details describing victim and perpetrator body positioning was very poorly recorded with Columbine.
I think he left his ball cap on because it was an accessory that was intrinsically connected to his personal being. He might not have even considered taking it off at all as he had done with the small pile he set aside of his other personal items which were all jewelry related (possibly made or given to him by a loved one, probably his mother). The hat was his thing, his creative project and as I said in recent posts, he probably oversaw sewing the patch/es on to it the way he wanted it to look.
His hat was, it became over time, basically like an extension of his hair. So, I think he overlooked removing it entirely while pointing the gun to his left temple If you study the inside of the cap closely, you can see that it’s profusely flooded with blood stain on the left portion of the cap, yet, parts of the interior rim area and a tiny portion of the right side appears unsoiled. ( The hat is crumpled on the floor on it’s side so we can not fully see the right interior side of the hat as to how the blood stain showed up there, if any.) Had Dylan removed his hat before shooting himself, it would not have had such select areas of blood stain patterning on the interior of the hat. The blood stain seems to be mixed into the heavy blood flow on the floor beside him that had poured from his head and mouth. It’s possible that the cap dislodged the moment he immediately collapsed to the ground immediately upon shooting himself and then toppled face-down over and on top of Eric’s leg. Two other possibilities would be if he unconsciously convulsed and jerked off Eric’s leg involuntarily sputtering up blood and the cap loosened then – or lastly, yes, as you’d mentioned, when SWAT came to move his body and search for bombs on his being, his hat likely fell off his head when they rolled him over and off Eric’s leg.

I don’t watch those shows so I really couldn’t say. Maybe someone else wants to reblog and take a stab at this? 😉
Radioactive Clothing was filmed for video production class and Eric conceptualized and filmed Hitmen for Hire as a video production intended for his Government Economics class assignment. Both productions were filmed with the help of Eric Veik.
I’m getting sick of the imposters too. Clogging up my blog message box lately all pretending to be the real VoD. Ahem
I feel ya, Dyl and I hear you. ❤️ 🌈 Here, have a Chips Ahoy on me. 🍪
Yes, I tend to think so.
I’ve answered that already quite a few times and just recently in fact. I suggest scrolling through my blog until you get to it.
How do you think Dylan would react if a girl planted one on him?
Well, of course he’d kiss her back. How could he refuse? He’d be a little nervous and tense at first. Uncertain of himself and sort of stuck in his mind.- it’d be this dialog going on upstairs in mid lip lock of: “omg..I’m actually doing this..with a girl..I can’t believe it. $%#!..am I doing this right? oh..fuck, did I just mess up there?” All this mental chatter going on in his head. He’d be caught off guard at her bold initiation, in shock yet pleasant disbelief and having a bit of an out-of-his body experience in the midst of tentatively returning her kiss. The first few kisses of his own in response to her inviting lips would be ever so gentle and delicately tender then progressing a little bit more bold and exploring with her encouragement. Once he sensed her enthusiasm in deepening those kisses, hearing her soft agreeable moans (as well as his own: “omg, did I just make that sound?”) and the overwhelming feeling of the intense physicality in their closeness, their lips engulfing one another just a bit more with each kiss progressing and deepening between them,I think Dylan would’ve be a goner – lost in the sensual sensations, the physical and emotional reactions of hers and his converging alike. I think with many ‘practice sessions’, he’d begin to loosen up with trusting in allowing himself full freedom of expression and would take on more confidence in his make out sessions. Dylan would be a natural at kissing intuitive and instinctual once coaxed out his mental head-space and into the sensual realm. So, yes, once it was abundantly clear that yes, she really, really did like him so much that she was trying to kiss with him, he’d be her makeout prisoner all willing to please and happily compliant. 😉
Yeah, it really was a comfort totem for him. Very nostalgic, sentimental kind of guy holding on to things from his past that were associated with the good more happy, carefree times as a boy. That cap was a part of him sort of in the sense of how your hair is a part of your own being and there’s no separate sense of it. Given how it looks on the ground next to him with blood on it, I really don’t think he even thought to remove it at all.. 
Glad it moved you so. You’re welcome. 🙂

Few things to factor in here first:
Classroom hours at Columbine HS are: 7:25 am – 2:40 pm
Bowling class at AMF Belleview Lanes started at 6:00 am (ouch!)
I seem to recall this class was three days a week.
Dylan’s drive to school was about 7.8 miles or 16 min on a weekday morning
Dylan’s drive to AMF Belleview Bowling Lanes was 10.3 miles and 20 min on a weekday morning.
Also, we know that Dylan stayed up very late with Zack on the phone playing Quake and Diablo II from 10:30 – 1-1:30 am so given all of that…
* earlier if he had to go pick up a friend before heading to school / bowling
Dylan kept those kind of crap hours while deeply depressed. Plus, he did the diversion program and community service from March ‘98 – Jan/Feb ‘99 and was holding down a part time job at Blackjack (Dec ‘98 – April ‘99) I think his mood would’ve greatly benefited from even a hour or two more sleep and consistent sleep at that. Thing is, when he actually did shut the lights off to ‘go to sleep’ his mind was still going and so he was not always ready to drop off. So, the bedtime hours mentioned above are nebulous at best. Is it any wonder that he was described as quiet and withdrawn in the morning at school.
Yes, I can see that actually. 😉 I tend to feel that Dyl did his own sewing handy work for this particular hat. Maybe his mom got fed up of doing it for him all those years he went through yet another tattered, worn out hat and so told him there’s no time like the present for for him to learn how do his own sewing handywork – but also, I think he’d do it himself out of a sense of having some creative control and exercising that sense of self reliance he had in abundance. He’d like the challenge of figuring things out for himself and doing it the way he wanted it to look as he envisioned. Just like his own t-shirt designs. He even affixed his cherished “B” off to the left of the center seam on his ball cap so it’d lay flatter rather than if he’d affixed it on top of the seam. That may be why the ‘Colorado Avalanche’ patch on the flip side looked like it was slightly starting to come away at the top from having been sewn directly on top of the seam. Sew and learn!
I would absolutely love to see a whimsical rendering from either depressioners or rainflesh of Dyl sewing his beloved patches onto his ball cap with those long, spindly, deft fingers of his. 😉 Hint muchly?
Yes, the 47 era style Colorado Avalanche hat also seems accurate to his hat in some ways. The shorter, curved bill is closer to his cap however, the size of the cap itself isn’t at all very deep. Dylan’s cap is deeper like the one I posted previously. Still, I tend to think he bought a cheap, plain black cap and sewed his old “B” and “Colorado Avalanche” patches on to it. Think it was hard for him to fit standard ball caps for his head size as well.
drew a picture of Dylan for you, seeing as you’re my favourite Columbine blog ❤
Aww, thank you! 💗
Mm..I’d say based on Dylan’s character as a non trendy individual, he’s sporting a no name brand, generic baseball cap. The ball cap is the fitted kind – no snap back (that’s Eric’s thing) – with a curved bill. Dyl’s got a big head (lots of brains upstairs, ya know?) and the fitted cap is evidently a very snug fit because it appears almost like a swimming cap or helmet which hugs around the top of his head; his scraggly hair fans out from the tight sides. I’d go so far as to say the cap really didn’t fit him anymore. But, you know, Dyl’s a nostalgic kinda guy so he made it fit so as to keep it with him for the fond memories he held with it. He’d out grown it to the point where it was a bit too noticably small and tight for his head. The edges of the bill are a bit tattered and torn too. So, basically probably amounts to this: he originally had a Boston Red Sox ball cap and also a Colorado Avalanche cap and after he wore those two hats to shreds, he got a generic plain ball cap with no logos whatsoever and sewed the “B” on the back (his front) and the Colorado Avalanche patch on the front (his back). The assumption is that the cap is a dark navy blue because the Boston Red Sox caps typically are of that color. That’s a misnomer because the cap is actually more black than it is navy. Something similar to this but with a much shorter bill:
You can also see the tattered rim more closely in parts of the

Take our word for it, Dyl. You’ve got one hell of a majestic virile looking beak. More handsome than pretty. It’s ahh stunning. 😉
