Anohter shooting in the states, of the none sidewalk places

c/o CNN

Five found dead in related shootings

Monday, December 26, 2005; Posted: 4:00 a.m. EST (09:00 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Five people were shot dead Sunday in what police believe was a murder-suicide at two houses in an affluent section of suburban Washington.

The story began to unfold around 10:25 a.m., when officers from the Fairfax County Police Department responded to a telephone call about shots being fired from a house in Great Falls, said Fairfax County Police Officer Richard Henry.

A 20-year-old uninjured resident came out of the house when police arrived, and a police SWAT team entered, searched the house and found the bodies of three men and one woman, Henry said.

"We believe that the suspect is one of those people," he said. The role of the uninjured man was not immediately clear.

Also found were two Labrador dogs -- one of whom had been shot more than once, he said. "It doesn't look like it's going to die."

Information found in the house led police to a house in Tysons Corner, about 12 miles west of downtown Washington, where they found a fifth body -- a woman, Henry said.

"We believe that the suspect in each of these cases is the same person," he said. Henry would not disclose the relationships among the people, "other than they were not strangers and the suspect did know these people."

Some of the victims were related to one another, he added.

Parking lots was part of the news today and the cosumeristic aspect of 'the season'. (Thanks god damn Pineapple express for washing out the season again. 2 years in a row. Only 4 more 'great' years till Cowtown. In case you're an idiot, I'm like being sarcastic)

That's royally sad. Of course talking about the commerce districts of the wastelands, aka malls. That they are full of cars of course. You must have a car. It just drives me nuts that bullshit almost as much as people can't speak the language of the country. But at the same time they can't seem to drive either or like integrate with the original community. I was gonna say greater community, but unfortunately only 40% of the world population are from the main 'immigration' centres into Hongcouver. Of course you shop at Wal-mart/Costco/big ass parking lot store. Of course, eh. Like ok Nein Danke. That assumption that everyone is a lemming to Exxon and GM and the other makers of the same ol same ol shit is just fucking ignorance. I guess sorta like Americans thinking they own everything, but they just consume everything they can. Eventhough most of the shite they buy is made outside their country. Oil, cars, disobable Wal-mart landfill 'merchandise', lumber, coal, hydro. One thing they probably lead in is creating pollution of many sorts; nuclear,smog like LALALALALland has nice air (the sad part is the automobile is perpetuating it everywhere. ONly had smog first in LALALALand generated by cars anyways in the 50's. First for that. First for consumption. First for fucking ingornace. But those are generalizations and aren't a good basis to have any meaning. But stereotypes exist for a reason.

This story on the news was really sad. Just goes to show how many people the car lobby have on side. Well except the traffic issues, and there solution is to make everything more beautiful with bigger roads. That's really smart. But this really fat single mother, no shit she's fat and has kids that's sad in Langley I think it was.

Langley seems to be turning into the new Surrey. There is bush and shite still sorta left. Willowbrook is fucking a nightmare of 'consumption zone', with probably the 80% of the landprint of it paved over. Maybe 20% for the consumption aspect. Only 8 gas stations in a square mile. Find a place like that in Vancouver. All the gas stations are closing down. The last new one I've seen is the one on Georgia. So many have closed down. Its wild to think about. In the wastelands/car land/suburbs (therefore better since its segmented, well in many ways besides the housing/malls/office parks, with a bigger parking lot than building, witht he buidling being the nipple surrounded by aeoriali). Every time I got out to the fringes of the new frontier everything changes. By no means for the better though. The city changes too, but its not as noticable. Well Yaletown and Coal Harbour with Shaw Tower are rather, but for the whole part its getting bigger. Not just the means of razing for parking lots and houses. Fuck the trees lets get more car related devleopment going on. Of course with that you need to have the gas stations coming around too. The Georgia street gas station is the only new one, besides them getting renovated, for the new tower districts. Rather insane to think there are only 3 public gas stations downtown for the pennisula. The same size in Surrey for example or any suburb would be just houses, and culdesacs, with maybe a mini mall. If it crosses a commercial district there will be at 4 gas stations for a mall. Pretty wall on all corners. Surrounded by mini-malls and drive thrus. The population out there has the front yard and 5% the number of people with 3 times as many cars. Every house needs to have its own private parking lot. Because the garage is full of shite, either just bullshit that you haven't finished consuming. Not fecal matter yet. It still may be good. Hopefully a meth lab or grow show. That would be better. Maybe one car, if not 2 in the 2 car garage.

Considering I rarely have driven for the last decade I know where shit is. Be a speaker man and it helps learn the city good and where the banks are. But by riding a bicycle you get a hell of a lot better understanding of 'place' not just the distance measured in time, which it still is, but by distance. Not as much as on the freeway or uphill for sure. Distance by definition means place not time. Its not nuclear fission E=mcc. Place is somewhere on this planet of anywhere. Time is a defintion for the aspect of dying and living. A way to judge the seasons, and we get winter weather in the summer and spring and summer like weather in the winter, caused by something maybe. The distance signs are in KM or miles if your down south. Not time, depends on conditions. Not just the other fukcing retarded lemmings in 'your way', black ice, pissing rain, stupid pedophile pedestrians. When I was a kid to get home I had to jaywalk the freeway from the Mall and 'high' school even farther from because you got home 15 minutes earlier. Instead of 35 minute walk it was 20. Of cousre you were walking since you are not of age to drive, well legally anways. I knew a few kids that stole cars for or borrowed days care fun and joy riding but you still had to walk quite a bit. The instance of the time aspect again. Jay walking the freeway cut the distnace in half pretty well. Weird exact corelation to the 2. There are different speeds of walking to, but you generally go at a good pace but not too fast.

I don't understand that aspect at all of the car land based environment. I grew up in it, but travelled to Europe where you see the shit downtown everywhere. You walk everywhere. All towns of a decent size say like Kelowna or so, have a pedestrian zone. Every fucking one. No cars at all. None, well for the exception of fire trucks and amulances in emergencies. The scope is so nice nicer in the pedestrian areas than those others. (The equilavent aspect is go to the mall, which is just absurd. Its not outside. Plus the only thing going in there is just consuming shit made that you need to 'live', which is a crock of shit. Well at least live your lifestyle. Somethings you need for sure like booze and drugs. I guess some food too and a roof overhead and some clothes and shoes. That's about it. Everything else is a luxury such as snowboard, computer, TV, DVD player, VCR and cassette player those sure are dated, bicycle and of course a car. I have all of those except for the last.) But that made me get some understanding going to Europe anyways. The weird pedestrian alleys of Amsterdam are weird. really narrow too. Venice is royally fucked up on the main island there. Crazy 3 or 4 wide gaps for walkways. That coke commercial in Praque. The one where they draw with chalk the outline of a coke bottle and a glass and pour the 'people' in. Frankfurt on the Zeil. Munich by the thing that does the same thing as in Praque by the Marienplatz I think it is. Fucking memory. Freiburg with its Pissbächlen. Dublin bar distirct town. I can't remember one in Berlin though. Well Love Parade turned the park into one. I wasn't in cities that long to remember. You have to be somewhere for 4 days to get a feeling and location understanding going on. 2 days ain't enough. But you can start to get figured out. The longer you are there you know the good things to get. Namely the good bars, where to get cheap beer and of cousre where the drug dealers are. If you are only there for a couple days then you might stumble across so off those atypical aspects. Cities have character too. There is age to them too. Of course there is the grim too. Not just like someone power washed the trees away to build another atypical Levittown in some outskirt fringe land of the so-called city close by which could be 30 miles or further away.

Back to the fat girl. She's 26 and is fucking fat whore with at least one kid. Probably a nice person, but fuck she's got issues. Like money for a rubber comes to mind. But she works in a restaurant. I forgot what happend to her car if it got totalled or stolen. At anyrate some car shops got together and gave her a 'new' car, a 89 GM like model, I can't remember that aspect. But the one thing that incensted me was when they said. "She had to ride her bicycle to work". In the saying of like , Oh My god. She's a grown person. She must be drug addict kind of mentality. That can't be real. Well apartly not enough riding bicycle since she's still fat and shit. I don't want to dwell on that aspect, but it important. The easiness brought by the car supported culture. A lot is probably self control. That's a good one I have lotsa issues too. Fuck I'ld totalyl be a fucking whale if I didn't ride a bike.

Gas Stations closed in the city
Jackson now social housing, acutall pretty quick conversion
Save on Gas on Seymour
The 2 empty lots across from Main Street / Invahoe Station and the park on the other side of Main.
Nanamio and is housing now, I think it was a Shell
Commerical
Howe & Davie. It must be its been empty for ever. That's even before I came to live in the city before the European Vacation.
Broadway a block across from the welfare office by the Kingsgate
7-11 in South Granville around 14th
MacDonald and 4th, another Shell and 7/11
One for Surrey here. The Petro Canada beside the Active Pass on Gateway road/108/Ferguson.

There are 4 gas stations downtown
Denman
Georgia
And the 2 on Davie
there are the private ones for the cabs too, but those are the public ones

Closest gas stations to downtown
south, Burrard just past the Armoury
west,north, Park Royal
east, Main and 2nd

I had to pump gas last week. Probably the first time I did in quite some time. There is a company vehicle I have access to. But I don't use it. Like maybe once every other month. So I filled it up since its on the company card. I even joked with the guys in the office that hopefully I can remember how to do that. I got it since I have a week off. But probably won't even use it much. I wanted to use it for boarding. But fuck no snow again. Like springtime weather again. Pissing rain. I was stoked since they were calling for rain after a month of dryness. And of course its not 5 degrees rain, but 13 degrees which even means rain from the top of Seventh Heaven down the 5000 feet or so vertical. Just fucking garbage.

I hate the fucking Pineapple Express.

The commute and assumption the news makes for the lemmings that they be, those with the cars.
That you drive like fucking anytime you go anywhere, well except for the walking to and fro the fucking piece of heartless metal.

I love the news. Most of the time its really boring shit. Fucking politics, and the same old refrain of the 'slant' of their advertisers, most likely. Afterall they aren't fucking stupid, just what they say most of the time is. The reason I love it is for 9/11. Best fucking TV ever. Fucking ever, like how many times did you see the shite towers go down in the next 3 days. Fucking just insane. Or Waco burn live on CNN of course. But the carnage is what the news is good about. Here's a classic example of that. I saw that old haggarded lady, Bernadette Berry on German Today with her neck lines. Fuck chicks gotta get married, cause those lines are fucking nasty, and they come on soon too. But yeah, I was watching the show. I love it, the only real chance I get pratice my D, und mit Gespräch ist viel einfacher zu verstehen als Zeitung am lesen. My grammar is fucked for sure. But fuck whatever. Not like that way though. I don't have cable either. Probably like one in a hundred in this country of 30 million inhabitants that don't have a car or cable. Well of course all the indians on their shit poor reserves are fucked off. They still buy gas, but that's just for huffing. That's a really sad story on this country. Anyways German today is on at 2pm on Saturdays on Channel M, also channel 42. I don't understand why City isn't on the air. Fucking bullshit. I can see Mt. Seymour, but only get 5 channels. Still nothing on, well 6 if you include the frogs. Cable is annoying too, like Bruce Springsteen said 57 channels and nothings on. That's pretty sad. But the German Today show had a special about the Dundarave granite ball. Its called the German friendship globe. I had to ask buddy where Dundarave is, like West Van pretty white, not as much as like say fuck Clinton or Houston, but pretty well yes. Anyrate went there to look at the globe. Its pretty wild. Me and drunkard friend went there to check it since its like German Today told me about it. So I'll do it. Fucking eh, for the cause, not for the lemming inhaling the exhaust it creates. Then on the way back ended up on the Upperlevels highway, driving buddy's shit car drinking of course. You have to its so boring and you have lots of metal to protect you, unless maybe you are 'enviromental' conscience and drive a SMART car. OK, fuck you too, it still pollutes not like a HUMMER, but you'll end up and be dead eh in a head on in the fucking 8'3" car. One the freeway it was mega traffic jam. And I forgot my camera. Everyone has one of those things now, at least a cell phone camera, like Ipods are everywhere. You can see the whiteness of the IPOD though. Sorta like a signature. But yeah the freeway was all backed up. then we got out after the gridlock was in place. Turned out that the road would be closed for quite some time. But as me and buddy were walking up to the shit, like 5 amublances, 5 firetrucks and 10 cop cars were all flasshing. So you know something good was going on. On the way up there, you couldn't drive, since they occupied the parking lot of the freeway from Taylor Way to before the bridge at Capilano where the shite happened. And from above you hear the chopper sound. Fuck its loud and annoying, almost like Ghetto Bird but that has a crow making the call. I say 'Live on chopper 9' and these people in their car laughed. Cause its so sad. I wonder howmany of them things are in Lalalalalalalalalaland. I know that the news choppers had to be told by the pig choppers to get out of the way quite some times. That's just insane. The only way to cover the wasteland is from above, since below nothing moves in that great invention called the car. But that was the logs that crushed the car. They were fucking huge trees. At least now they replaced the median, for the longest time you could see the 'chipped' out part where the logs flew over. And crushed the car. The yellow tarp was there. Me and buddy don't really care about anything, well a few but not considering not fucking with anyone shite, like just being a lemming and starring at HS that's pretty fucked up stuff. Paramedics were still on the scene too, like 5 firefighters a couple ambulance guys putting someone in a gurney. We left them be on the accident side of the barrier. Just weird. Really weird. Just memories.

Even at work some stupid fat old lady asked me how was your commute. That got me going. My job is weird like me I guess but there is lost of tech support. Its sorta cool since I talk to people from Newfoundland, to Quebec to the Yukon. Actually today someone called from Whitehorse. But the girl, most likely though 40 and 200lbs and like 5'6", asked me how was your commute. Its weird since most people especially out east think everything is in Hogtown, like the 905/416 shite. And no 604 isn't a 905 overlay area code.

I said to her.
I live in the city, I don't need a car.
She's like you live in Toronto
And I'm like no Vancouver.
Then the sad part about living close to work, is you don't have an excuse for not coming into work. One job I had 6 people worked there, and only 2 showed up. Both of us lived close to work, probalby within a normal 45 minute walk or so or 10-15 minute bike ride. I never walked there, just road my bike. The Burrard bridge was a nightmare then, I think that was 96 the great year for boarding downtown, with a foot dump. I love the foot dumps. They can stink but the ones on the streets are great. Just need to nig up a hit and do some hiking. Fun to do for sure.
And I said to her I couldn't phone in 'sick' since I live too close. So what. Hence then you don't need that smog machine to get back to the non-descriptive area what you call home without sidewalks is. Just thinking of the fringes gets me going. I really wish I would've read that book in English 9 about the fringes. I didn't read books that I had too, even in college. Fuck you tell me what to read. Unless it was a textbook, that wasn't an english course novel. Then you fuck up the tests, and figure out what the book is about by listening to it. I don't know how many times I failed the reading tests. I'm like they like sodimized that cow and then made shit cum milk. The fringes are weird. I put the boundary at Nanamio and King Edward. It gets really different after those 'places' of imaginery lines called roads.

But then again idiots are everywhere. Even downtown. I hate it when fucking idiots say Excuse me. Basically they want to say get the fuck outta my way. I don't like that, why did you fart is a a good response. Oh I'm in your way. Well I don't understand. Can't you tell from my balding dirty blonde hair, blue eyes that I'm chinese and do not understand what is going on. Like fuck you. I'm oblivious to so much. Nothing can really offend me, unless you do something like a 12 year old would do that knows shit about money. Even that is pretty bad. No wonder I hate people, they do the stupidest things.

Now its Xmas time, aka Christmas. Fucking eh, eh. We live in a G7 country. Not some piss poor piece of shit country where there is no such thing as working 'democracy', but they make all the cosumeristic shit that means this time of year. I fucking hate this time of year. Its so full of shit, like the idiots from Richmond Centre for example. The question know, since you have to be PC. What do you call the tree. You can't call it the many things. Most likely before the Asian Invasion after expo prior to the shutdown or red commie invasion/takeover of that place there that's a lot like here, and now its a lot like there here now. The Christmas tree. Now it's supposed to be called the Holiday tree.

Get if fucking right
Consume
(Smoked a big fat bag of crack before the show... I said to myself I'ld never smoked somthing named after a body part.... in 1985 some guy in NYC cocaine isn't good enough.)
but if you consume too much booze, you'll probalby like fucking puke
Then there's the eggnog
and this year we had an early present for 11/11 boarding on Cypress, eventhough there was freezing rain, ouch that hurts

No, its called the Consumer Tree
