    The tragedies of yesterday made me think that by growing up in the inner city of Connecticut where we ALWAYS had security and police officers at the entrances of each unlocked door (from elementary even up to college), I guess I take those things (posted security) for granted.

    As I was going through my daily routine of posting on my favorite message boards I came across a post on one of them regarding a memorial page on MySpace. The page gives a link to Ryan's personal page. I saw that it showed yesterday as his last log in. For some reason this made it all the more profound. Imagine starting your day as normal yet not realizing that it would be the absolute last time you initiate your daily routine. To say I am deeply saddened by this would be an understatement. Here's the link to the Memorial page: http://www.myspace.com/vtmemorial_41607
