Da Bomb.

I thought I'd start off my first ever blog with a little personal sort of outlook on my day. I went to school today at 7:45-ish and it was you know a typical Monday morning- I was pretty tired and wishing I had eaten bigger breakfast. Everything pretty much was the same as it always is until I got to second periond. I went to my locker to put away some books and I noticed that there were some police cars parked out front and some of our school security was guarding the door and not allowing any students to pass through. I thought that was really strange because my school isn't a really high security school. The last high school I was at had it's own narcotics squad, barbed wire on the fences, and was on lock down every other week. This school isn't like that at all. So it was really weird seeing actual police there.
So I go back to class and as soon as I sit down an announcement comes over the intercom saying that the whole school needed to evacuate to the football stadium. In my passed experience at my old school I knew evacuations meant that there was either a gun on campus or a bomb threat. When we get to the stadium the whole school is there and you would think it was a pep rally by the way everyone was acting. We sat in the stadium for about twenty minutes before we were told to board buses that would take us to the local movie theatre. That was the final indication to me that there was a bomb threat.
We get to the movies and it's complete chaos. Teacher's a freaking out becuase half their class is MIA and people are acting all crazy. We're all packed into the theatres and watching old movies like Nacho Libre and Willy Wonka. It was like a field trip or something.
That's when I got to thinking about how weird it is that the bomb threat wasn't scaring anyone. Is something like this really that natural these days? And it makes me sad. Knowing how immune we are to emotions like fear. We talk about guns and violence and rape like it's nothing and it scares me. I mean we see people getting blown up and blown away on TV and in movies and video games all the time and it's not a big deal. We even see it or hear about it in our daily lives and it's not shocking anymore. I'm not sure I want to live in a world where violence is as natural as breathing.
I guess I already do huh?
