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.
Tooo long. lol This has been answered before though and I believe it was within the last two weeks or so. I’d suggest skimming through a few pages of the blog to find the answer of why specifically Dylan.
Best to always just type in one or two words in the search box. Typing a full sentence only confuses it. Try for example “arrested”. And I think you meant to say apprehended, yes? 😛
Becca Heins was friends with Brooks and somewhat friends with E & D but pretty much through her association with Brooks. The four were in the same creative writing class together and they went to lunch on a few occasions in their second semester of senior year. Per Brooks’ book: one time the four went to Eric’s house to have lunch. And yes, you’re correct that they went to the nearby McDonalds for lunch the day before the massacre. I seem to recall that the teacher never showed up for class that day so they cut and went to lunch. To reiterate though, Becca knew the boys but was not a close friend of them. She occasionally hung out with the two in the company of Brooks. I get the feeling she was a very smart cookie and Brooks liked her company.
The story on this and my speculation as to what I think it could mean regarding Nate sending threatening emails via an the La Vida X alias to Devon because of her (in Nate’s opinion) trying to get Dylan in trouble is in this post. Honestly, I would love to hear about all these high school shenanigans that went on between all of them and the dynamics. I believe if Devon was snitching on Dylan she was doing it for all the right ‘moral dilemma’ type reasons so that he wouldn’t get into major trouble down the road.
Dylan was really very awkward and timid around the opposite sex. Girls in general didn’t seem to show an ounce of interest in him which for him, translated as ignoring and meant they must ‘hate’ or ‘dislike’ from his own hyper-self-conscious often catastrophically negative perspective. Dylan hated himself ultimately more than any girls did. He was his own worst enemy. In reality, he managed to have close friendships with two girls. But of course,,that didn’t quite count for him as he hadn’t landed a girlfriend and a romantic relationship.
They convinced themselves what they were about to do was necessary and that it wasn’t an option. That kind of talk, when they were alone together in their shared secrecy, was basically just mutual brainwashing of one another plain and simple. The more they emphasized that their judgement day was coming soon, that it was inevitable, and that it had to happen and that they had to be the ones to do it, the more it became a firm reality planted and entrenched in their minds that their actions were fated and unstoppable by anyone or anything. They were kind of like a cult of two.
I tend to think that Devon simply meant just that: that she was aware that Dylan dabbled in poetry and she had been privy to some of his unique work – not just the couple of poems that were released as part of the 11K. And the reason she knew is because she and Dylan had grown close, where he was just comfortable enough with her to reveal his attempts at artistic writing. And I’m sure this is also because Devon is a natural wordsmith and a poet herself. It’s probable that she shared her stuff with him and that opened up revealing this facet of himself in reciprocation.
Filled with poison. But blessed with beauty and rage.
From super short, clean cut and preppy to the turning point after the ‘January Incident’ with the progression of longer hair and a temporary romantically wavy look just for Senior photos and then finally scraggly, disheveled and ‘clown like’ sticking out from his ball cap mere weeks before the massacre. (note: some are approximate guesses in lieu of dates.)
Update 1.11.2018: Nate Dykeman provided the approximated date that the Morning Ritual was filmed. On the VHS tape which he provided to Jeffco it’s title on the spine is “Dylan Klebold and Nate Dykeman, Approx. date Nov, Dec ‘98″ which places my guestimate correctly in this post for “Winter ‘98″ based on Dylan’s hair length progression, having grown just a bit longer since the October bday photo. Update 2.2018: The Frankenstein Roast was date stamped 10.30.1998 in this video still posted a newspaper article called Darkness Falls on Denver. I was off by about a month in my estimate because Dylan’s hair looked as though it grew super long and super fast since his last short haircut in Oct 1998 during his brother’s bday party. His hair just grew fast in one months time!
“To most people, I appear … well … almost scary, but that’s who I appear to be as people are afraid of what they don’t understand. I denied who I was for a long time. Until high school…. “
Classic Reblog as a point of reference for hair length.
All of what you just mentioned was already entertained and discussed multiples times. As for the tapes surfacing, I think it is highly unlikely. Many people over the years have all had the same brilliant idea to scour the Deep Web for them yet, they come up empty handed. Tapes in the FBIs hands aren’t liable to leak at all. And even far less likely shot of that happening than if they were still in Jeffco’s hands. Don’t see Dump pushing for those to ever be released because of the school/mass shooting epidemic and the whole heated gun debate. Too controversial for this country. They will keep using the copy cat excuse to never let them see the light of day.
Some journalists from Time magazine and only the families invited that wished to view the Basement Tapes saw them. I’m sure they would’ve been allowed to see the entire shit show which was approximately over 3 hours worth.
He would’ve what they called back in the day Fdisked his computer. It is a DOS command-line utility which not only deletes everything on the hard drive but also reformats the drive too. It is like ‘wiping the slate clean’ in essence so there is less chance to recover complete, intelligible files. He would’ve Fdisked the machine a few times to make sure everything was irretrievable. The first time would take a while to Fdisk it but by the 3rd time, it would be completed quickly as there’d be little scraps left on the drive to be reformatted. It would’ve been very hard to recover anything from that with the limitations of 90s data recovery technology. Today, however, it might be more possible which is why Adam Lanza also physically scratched and disfigured his hard drive.
