dinb: i didn’t realize how much material was on it
me: in waht?
dinb: physiological psych
8:22 PM i’m getting sort of panicked
anyway…how are you?
me: feeling a little strange
this guy i knew from my frat got murdered
8:23 PM and i wrote a blog on it at Mohams suggestion
and people have sent me tons of stuff and written all in the comments
dinb: omg
that’s terrible
i’m so sorry
me: i talked to the deceased guys little brother ramone last night
8:24 PM dinb: how is he
me: he sounded okay on the phone
he told me the story of how his brother got murdered
there is a security tape
i initially posted the story, but took it down since it was a little gruesome
http://www.blog.Superx.com/fred-stephens-dead/650/
8:25 PM i’ve even had reporters calling and emailing me
8:26 PM 1 sec phone
dinb: k
8:27 PM i’m reading your blog…
8:30 PM this is so sad
where did he die?
me: near portland i think
he was working down there
8:31 PM dinb: what are you going to do with all the comments
so many of them are addressed directly to fred
8:32 PM me: ummm… i dont know
leave them
dinb: its interesting how your post became the target of everything everyone wants to express
8:33 PM me: yeah i was surprised
and shocked
8:35 PM dinb: so how are you doing with all of this
me: im okay, i hadn’t talked to him in a couple of years… i just posted it cuz Moham asked me to
dinb: its like you’ve taken on a lot of responsibility for communicating with everyone that cared about him
me: yeah
8:36 PM it freaks me out
not sure what to do
i just stick up the pics and stuff people send to me
dinb: have you been getting a lot of stuff
me: yeah
tons
people are sendin all these 2 mb pics
8:37 PM and i have to redo them vastly smaller so my blog doesn’t crash
8:39 PM jesus christ
i just looked at my traffic stats for my blog
i had been getting 30-80 visits a day over the week before fred’s death (really good for me)
i got 1389 yesterday
dinb: that’s crazy
me: yeah weird
8:40 PM dinb: and reporters have been calling too?
that must be weird
me: yeah
yeah
really
i dont know what to say
8:41 PM want to know what’s fucked? the keyword that sent the most traffic was fred stephens
but close behind it was the murderer
trickle hessemer
all his friends and family were looking at my blot too
8:42 PM dinb: that is really weird…i mean it makes sense but it shows that there’s this whole other side to this event
me: yeah
i feel bad for those people
8:43 PM dinb: do you know what happened
me: yeah
its a messed up story
8:44 PM dinb: it says they were friends…did they get in a fight
you don’t need to tell me the details
me: look in your email
8:46 PM dinb: did you send me an email? i don’t see anything
8:47 PM me: yeah
sent to your kenyon address
dinb: wait let me check my webmail
oh ok
my stuff hasn’t been forwarding quickly recently
its like 2 hours behind
8:52 PM that is horrifying
me: phone
8:54 PM yeah
i was shocked
8:55 PM and pissed
and posted it on my blog
not wise
8:58 PM dinb: did you get a lot of backlash about it?
or was it just too graphic
8:59 PM me: no
just got a call from a guy i knew
who said we werent sure of the info yet
so i pulled it down
then decided it was too graphic to put back up
hey
dinb: yeah
me: can u do me a favor
refresh the blog
i think it just crashed
damn
9:00 PM i just uploaded a new pic
maybe i forgot to resize it
dinb: it worked when i refreshed it
9:01 PM me: try and refresh again now
or close it and reopen
or click on another linkn
i really need to back it up
9:02 PM dinb: i don’t know its working for me…
i closed it and reopened it
9:03 PM hey happy birthday!
