Dylan would’ve been so hot if he was a teen in this generation 😢

Let’s see..

bae and swag terms
iPhones
selfies
instagram
vine
snap chat accounts
 ‘panic! at disco’ songs
skinny ripped jeans
 forever21shirts 

Nopleasestop.

Mmmm.. kind of misses the point of who they were, doesn’t it?  

After all, they weren’t pretentious, status-y little fucks taking selfies and doing what everyone else does to be on fleek af.  These dudes went against the grain then and so if you inserted them in this generation, chances are, they would be doing very little to almost none of the above on the list up top.^^   I mean, when Dyl broke his glasses, he taped them together and proudly wore them that way as a fuck you! to the trendy suburbanite fashion snobs in Columbine.

Leat we forget, Dyl HATED trendy.  Ripped jeans and Forever21  ?!   You gotta be kidding me people.. They’d be sneering at this sheeple aesthetic.

Gotta say, assimilation sucks no matter what gen.  I hate to tell you, if you do this to Dylan, you take the ‘hot’ out of him, bae.  😉  

I think we all know that Brooks Brown is full of BS, but since he WAS there… Has he ever said anything about the identity of Dylan’s Acrostic Girl?

I can appreciate how you preface this question. lol   No, to my knowledge, he has never given any clues as to who he thinks (or actually knew) the girl to be that Dylan pined for.  It would actually be a fantastic, meaty question to have asked him while he was on Tumblr (pssht.. like that will ever happen again. )  or perhaps his next Reddit. Only problem is, he probably won’t be inclined to give a straight answer. Dodgy af is Brux.

Question! About Dylan being abusive to the girls in gym class, do you happen to know when that was? Was it throughout high school, or 11th/12 grade (before they took bowling)? I agree with many your views on the original question, but I always wondered that if it was happening during his last few months at school, if part of him had stopped caring to try and hold back his anger, so to speak, to those he felt were stuck up.

Dylan took regular P.E. gym class throughout most of his attendance at Columbine all the way through first semester of 12th grade/Senior year which ended mid December ‘98. So, he struggled and endured a few years of it and this would’ve been when he began to, at times, act out aggressively.  Regular gym classes could’ve consisted of team sports, swimming and others depending on what he elected to take.  I do believe he even took weight lifting at one point earlier on maybe Freshman or Sophomore year (lol ikr?)  These classes would’ve forced him to interact with mostly a group of classmates he didn’t know all that well that he didn’t mesh well with and felt like an outsider.  It’s difficult to say what sorts of regular P.E. gym classes he chose since we don’t have Dylan’s class transcripts and all of his schedules. (We definitely have more of Eric’s)   We can verify that Dyl took regular P.E.gym classes all the way up to Dec of ‘98 because the Diversion report records list him as tardy and basically on the brink of failing class with an ‘F’ by the tail-end of First Semester for tardies.

By Second Semester, Dylan had elected Bowling class for his P.E. gym option and it shows as having started Dec 21st.  He would’ve had the bowling class for about a week in Dec ‘98 right before holiday/winter break started and would’ve been off school returning by January to finish out the rest of his Senior year of ‘99 with bowling class. He was grouped in a team among friends so it would probably the only good time he’d ever had in a ‘gym class’.   Sadly, he only had about roughly four months and one week of Bowling gym class fun with his friends. :-/  

Do you think that if Zack never started dating Zack that maybe Zack would have been involved in the shooting? Also, didn’t eric have a crush on Devon?

Yeah, sure, I think it’s possible that Zack and Dylan could’ve gone NBK together had Zack not met Devon and began to heal with her support. Certainly, Dylan was initially hoping to go NBK with his best friend, the one he felt understood and ‘got him’ the most as he knew himself. Though, Zack and Dylan were similar emotionally – both were sensitive and internalized their negative feelings inward. Both were suffering depression, they knew this about each other and commiserated so they might’ve taken things to the next level if things got worse. On the other hand, it’s also pretty likely that the two would’ve been all talk about hypothetical plans and relishing their verbal shared fantasies of a spree or their suicides and yet never really had enough motivation or momentum to act of those desires because of their down moods. The two also talked every night by phone almost religiously, which, in a way, was a kind of therapy for both of them to sort of dysfunctionally lean on one other. It’s possible that they could’ve continued on like that helping one another through all their rough times and so just continued to kick up fantasies to relieve stress yet never really got to the point of initiator of ideas. Eric was more of the doer, the executer. He was like the match stick to cause the combustion with Dylan’s inert striker.

Devon claims that Eric had a crush on her. If so, it would’ve been early enough on when she’d started CHS but before she seriously started to date Zack. That’s a small window of time for that mini crush of his. She’s the only one that seems to claim this so we’d have to say it’s her own personal viewpoint that Eric was crushing on her. Otoh, Eric was often trying to get girls to go out with him so he might’ve considered Devon briefly at one point before she aligned with Zack. Then he was mad at Devon for breaking up the unholy trio, the three bad ass amigos – Dylan, Zack and Eric. It’s probably more like Eric was jelly that Devon chose Zack over him. mhm yep. lol

Well…i dont think I’m being judgmental when I am stating facts. Those two killed a bunch of kids aaaannddd you support them. You have a blog about them. So, was just wondering why you would do such a thing?

Well…your choice of words ‘support them’ is rather poor and inaccurate because it has not a thing to do with facts, it’s simply your presumption of how it is. First off, this blog isn’t about a ‘them’. If you had bothered to look around (based on your responses, I think it’s safe to say you didn’t much, if at all) you would’ve noticed that this blog is specifically about one of the two Columbine shooters. Secondly, blogging about Dylan Klebold is not synonymous with ‘supporting’ his last actions taken in the last 49 minutes of his life. That’s like assuming that someone with a blog about Charles Manson is a Manson Family follower or that someone blogging about Lee Harvey Oswald is A ok that he shot JFK or that a multitude of authors that write about Hitler aren’t just interested in his personality facets but are loyal, faithful supporter of the Nazi

ideology. It’s a mistake to pass such knee jerk judgments and then to believe your own assumption to be fact. To add insult to injury, you believe yourself to only be merely ‘curious’ or ‘just wondering’ as to why it is that I’m doing what you’ve already decided of me as doing. You’re not really asking me out of open, forthright curiosity; you’re simply pretending to ask and then telling me that it’s bad or pathetic. Not really a true question nor a fair one, now is it? Thirdly, this blog is unconventional and probably, yes, too taboo for many to (still) handle. If I wanted a traditional, safe and ‘political correct’ blog, I could be one of many Columbine blogs out there that only discusses Rachel Scott ad nauseaum or the other twelve victims. Of course, we’d never really learn anything about why Columbine actually happened in the first place because the boys themselves are the key; they are ground zero. Columbine does not start with the victims, it starts with these two boys dumping their pain onto others and by extent, the entire world and now decades later, and we’re still dealing with the fall out. My blog is an exploration of Dylan specifically in an attempt to dig deeper beyond society’s ‘monster’ label and to fully understand and appreciate, yes appreciate, who Dylan was as an individual human being. A person with good, bad and shades of gray just like the rest of us. Yet, a personality forever linked with Eric Harris so much so that they could be Siamese twins – but the fact of the matter is, Dylan was a contrasting opposite to Eric in personality, unfortunately, a complimenting contrast too. I chose Dylan specifically because when I began my research, I found aspects of my own personality gravitating and resonating with his own in a very intense, deep manner. This blog is about honing the magnifying glass lens on one individual, one teenage boy, that ended life horrifically and tragically, so that we may bridge the gap between who he initially was – a brilliant boy that wanted to be happy and a good person and to have good things in his life – and what he tragically became in his struggles and silent suffering – and to then understand how and why he chose to make such a choice out of desperation. People that frequent this blog often feel compelled to walk in Dylan’s shoes or to walk beside him in their own pain to fully understand, to gain a more well rounded perspective of why Columbine occurred. If you don’t get, don’t worry, others do. And so this blog is for those people. Doesn’ make it ‘pathetic’ or wrong if it’s beneficial to other people that find enlightenment and peace from it.

It’s important for society to not just focus on what is considered ‘normal’ or ‘acceptable’ subjects to entertain on Tumblr or elsewhere because ultimately we never really learn anything of intrinsic value from the banal ‘safe’ subjects – there’s nothing to inspire people to think differently or to wake them up to systemic issues going on this world today as a result of a historical event such as Columbine. We need to have the courage to look at these ‘boogie men’ society shares a part in creating. It is not a crime nor by default, a show of ‘support ’ of their actions taken to look at these instigators that made bad choices out of personal pain and mental illness. Hurt people hurt people. Looking at Dylan is not supporting him but understanding him more fully. For many that visit here regularly, Dylan is that familiar mirror image of themselves in silent suffering. The simple fact is, any one of us in the midst of trying times that would spiral us deeper into a state of mental illness could have us just a hair’s breathe away from doing what he did. We should recognize him within ourselves and embrace it together instead of looking away and suppressing pain. This is the key. To embrace the shooter as the troubled, disconnected, unhealed parts of our own selves, to work through it and to find healing through our relating to him.

If we continue to ignore these mass shooting perpetrators and brush them under the carpet than history is doomed to repeat itself as it is happening right now, over and over and over again. This phenomenon is a wake up call to the world, really. Part of the problem begins, and ends, with the ignorance, exclusivity and close-mindedness in this world. People such as yourself, that come to my blog and automatically assume I support something that you deem incorrect or ‘pathetic’, is part of the very same Ouroboros circle of intolerance and judgement that motivated Eric and Dylan to do what they did to make a point to the world and to end their suffering and pain. And if you believe that bullying didn’t factor in at all whatsoever in regards to these two boys killing others and themselves, then you’re in denial by either your own making or in part due to being swayed by Dave Cullen’s book of lies. The Columbine killers were made not born and society contributed to misshaping them. Own responsibility; respect others differing view points, embrace the ugly until the shadow’s recede. You can either fear and hate or be open, loving and tolerant. It’s as simple as that. Only through empathy and attempting to fully understanding will we ever gain wisdom and make positive world changes. Yes, here on this particular blog, we can give ourselves permission to explore the life and times of Dylan Klebold, and in so doing, we can be in support of a better world by breaking the cycle of intolerance and pain through our understanding and compassion. This blog is not for everyone and that’s only because some people are just aren’t there yet in getting the full picture, to see the forest through the trees. If you still can’t comprehend than there’s simply no way for me to convince you – nor is it my desire to. You’re free to visit a multitude of other blogs and not come back to mine. If you decide to stay, then respect is all I ask, otherwise, this is the last time I’m expounding on this for you.

Just curious. Why you support two people who killed a bunch of kids? And don’t give me that “they were bullied” crap because that’s pathetic.

Wait. So, you’re, like, openly ‘curious’ or

unequivocally judgmental, which is it?  You lost me at “support two people who killed” because I have never said as such in the entirety of this blog. Such far off-base assumptions derived from your very closed mind just makes you look ridiculous.  I don’t have time for trap questions born of ignorance.  You’d already decided before asking infering so why should I waste my breathe, hm?
