Blogger Describes His Own Murderer | Darren Barefoot

"Anyway today has been weird, at 3 some guy ringed the bell. I went down and recognized it was my sister’s former boyfriend. He told me he wants to get his fishing poles back. I told him to wait downstair while I get them for him. While I was searching them, he is already in the house. He is still here right now, smoking, walking all around the house with his shoes on which btw I just washed the floor 2 days ago! Hopefully he will leave soon, oh yeah working on the jap report as we speak!"

As Darren pointed out, there are a lot of condolences comments on the deceased's last blog entry. This one comment rankled slightly, I know the poster meant this with the best of intentions, but since when do you have to be a Christian to have dibs on a happy afterlife? It smacks of hubris: (italics below mine)

Wow, I got this news off of theotaku.com. I don't really know who to react. I hope you guys were Christians. That way I could definitly say that you will be up in Heaven, having a better life than on this Earth. I'll be praying for you family and I hope everything works out. Funny isn't it, we're all writing this to you knowing that you'll never be able to read what we say. Rest in peace, Silvatine.

Ok, I won't dally on how narrow of a worldview that post is, my point is made.

This is what is bending my mind right now: The kid's blog reaches into the future and point at his killer.

Brr.
