Every crime, like every person, has its secrets. Some are never revealed, while others are hidden in plain sight. You know, You live long enough, You learn a thing or two. We can train Our bodies to forget. But not Our minds. And one thing living forever teaches You is that your past, your secrets, mark You always, like it or not. There are things for all of Us that even all the time in the world wouldn’t be able to erase. Forever ! Oct-28/2014

Murder is never an easy thing to look at. When You examine the body of a victim, You don't see the reflection of their life, but the person who took it. You see whether the killer felt anger or betrayal...or worse...if they felt nothing at all. We may never understand those who kill so easily for spectacle. But perhaps that's why We're so fascinated with them. We read about their exploits out of curiosity. Our fascination with the macabre makes it all seem unreal. But the truth is that everyone has the capacity to kill. The real question is, how do You live with yourself afterwards? Forever ! Oct-21/2014

Every generation likes to think they're improving on the last, that progress is inevitable, that the future holds less misery and suffering than the past. But the truth is, some things never change. History has a way of repeating itself. It's just most people don't live long enough to see it happen. Rats have been known to carry Lassa fever, hantavirus, salmonella, and, of course, let's not forget the black death. I highly recommend that You don't get bit. But some things do change. Years ago, boxers fought bare-knuckled. In 1855, one bout lasted 6 hours, 15 minutes. Back then, the so-called ring was an actual ring, made up of rowdy, bloodthirsty spectators. That's not to say that fights are fair today. The big guy's gloves are still loaded a little heavier, but it's no reason to stop fighting. Forever ! Oct-14/2014

For the dead, all is forgotten. But all is not lost because They're remembered by Us. Some We think of fondly, others less so. A few are remembered by many, and many by only a few. Forever ! Oct-7/2014
