4 May 1970 - Vietnam War: Kent State Shootings, also known as the May 4 massacre or Kent State massacre, occurred at Kent State University in the city of Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of students by members of the Ohio National Guard on Monday, May 4, 1970. Four students were killed and nine others wounded, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis.
Some of the students who were shot were protesting the American invasion of Cambodia, which President Richard Nixon announced in a television address on April 30. However, other students who were shot were merely walking nearby or observing the protest at a distance.
There was a significant national response to the shootings: hundreds of universities, colleges, and high schools closed throughout the United States due to a student strike of eight million students, and the event further divided the country along political lines.
Photographs of the dead and wounded at Kent State that were distributed in newspapers and periodicals world-wide amplified sentiment against the United States' invasion of Cambodia and the Vietnam War in general. In particular, the camera of Kent State photojournalism student John Filo captured a fourteen-year old runaway, Mary Ann Vecchio, screaming over the body of the dead student, Jeffrey Miller, who had been shot in the mouth. The photograph, which won a Pulitzer Prize, became the most enduring image of the events, and one of the most enduring images of the anti-Vietnam War movement

Just spent that last 48 hours doing anything I can
I watched Iron Man and would suggest it to any super hero movies or fans of the comic book. Of course if you're a fan you've already seen it some people are like me and never step foot in a movie theater and for that I don't blame you. I hate crowds
Last night I went and ate some sushi, it was quite good. Although I'll admit I don't care for the eel. It was called a dragon roll? I love the Vegas Roll though, It was awesome
I also went out to a Scottsdale bar where they played loud music to the point it was hard to comprehend what was even playing but hey the ladies danced on the bar so that made it less annoying ha ha. A pretty decent cougar came up to me and started talking and such and I totally talked back and all but after Sushii and a few forced upon drinks my breath wasn't smelling very good and she got a wiff and she left me alone for the rest of the night 
I told you I'm to awkward to be a slut
So yeah I've done pretty good for the last few days, but wake up this morning it starts all over again. Thoughts I'm trying to avoid... Lets see how the next 48 hrs go
