Man...I hate black crows...actually I hate all blackbirds. They're just birds, probably no better or worse than all the other birds. For some reason, in my life, they are harbingers, the bearer of bad news. When I see one, my stomach gets queasy and I want to immediately look away and pretend it wasn't there. When I turn back around if it isn't then it wasn't. But if it is...I know what he's going to bring with him...Lori LaFond.
So today is a huge "Range of Emotion Day". The kind that reminds you that you are human...like it or not.
I wrote and realized some of the best ways to stop Lori LaFond in my whole life. I couldn't believe the paths that opened up to justice. I still can't believe how many times I made the right call, for the right reason, and what it looks like now. I intended good results, I can't believe the position it put all the rape victims in.
I was and still am excited about some friends achieving in their profession and careers. The mark it will leave in the history books will always be. As a fan and a friend, what could make me happier?
So where did it happen? Where was the crow that brings Lori LaFond with it like a snake? Something the crow picked up on the way to warn me the bad news? There's always a crow...it's God's way of saying, get ready here comes the venom.
No crow.
Of course, I have people on my team that personally know, love, honor and believe in Kobe Bryant. It's too soon to even write that in the past tense. So as fresh as those feelings are, Lori's here to strike at each one of them with the most poisonous venom her body can make. After all, isn't that the best way for a fugitive to get attention? Hurt the hurting? Does that even make sense? Apparently, it's more important to spit venom into an open wound if there's no other way to inject it.
It's easier with the crow. You know to put up some defense. You can see it, hear it, and when lands you know where the snake is.
Lori is the happiest person to deliver bad news then remind you about it, over and over. If there is a sore, she's going to make it fester. She'll find other people to help her too. For my friends that personally knew Kobe, this is an emotional paradise for Lori LaFond. I will remind you also, that I've had both a very sick father and mother for the last five years. The usual older person's problems. Eventually, when my parents pass, the last thing on Earth that I want to hear is Lori God Damn LaFond's opinion about it. You just know she is praying for that to happen and she's an atheist. I don't know who she is praying to, but even that God should understand my need for that not to happen. Even Lori's God should have some kind of sympathy for my parents.
I just want all of you to remember how Lori acted when your Kobe passed on. I want you to recall how much of a break she extended to you or your family? You don't always get a crow to warn you first.
Maybe Lori's wounds don't heal because there is no cure. For us, there seems to be a good chance there is.
In the meantime, every victim has a story or Lori and Brian wouldn't have implanted them. This is how they work you into a crazy mind set. Don't go crazy. Understand life gets hard. When it does we have each other. Lori doesn't have us.
