It's funny who the people you know can turn into...

I knew a guy in high school. Nice guy, good sense of humor. A while ago, I was watching South Park. Around episode 201, a threat was sent to the makers of South Park, saying that if they release the episode, they could become like "Theo Van Gogh." This led to the episode being censored with loud bleeps. Later, he was arrested for attempting to join a muslim terror group. Apparently he went to the same high school as I did.

After a quick look in my year book, I confirmed that I knew him and sat next to him in high school.

It was profound. He seemed like the last person who could join a religion. But he changed. Then again, I never knew him that well to know how much he changed. It's just strange who the people you know can change into.

The Things We Keep Hidden

There are three different types of things we keep to ourselves:
  1. Things we keep hidden because we don't want anyone touching on our innermost thoughts.
  2. Things we want to say but have to keep silent about.
  3. Things that we keep hidden, hoping somewhere deep down that someone will ask us about them.
Food for thought
