Life is fragile
http://annason.com/2008/11/17/11/ Drop a line on Anna’s blog for a more personal sibling perspective.
Last Saturday night around 11:45, Anna lost her only sibling to a vehicle collision. Simon Son was a 19 year old sophmore who attended my current school, Pacific Union College (PUC). The only relations Simon and I had was that we were schoolmates who only said hey in the hallway and that he was Anna’s older brother. You didnt have to know Simon very well to know that he was a good man, he was always happy and friendly, he was loved by everyone. Three others PUC students were killed that night in the same car as Simon. Boaz, Luke, and Chong tight friends with Simon.
I have a younger brother, and I dont know what I would do or how i’d feel if he died. Shit can happen in an instant. I know I would want everyone to show there love to my family if a crisis like this occured. Losing someone you love to death is very difficult thing to cope with, it requires support.
Simon , Chong , Luke , and Boaz were killed here.
This post is a tribute to Simon Son , Boaz Pak, Chong Shin and Luke Nishikawa. My heart is heavy for all of your families, everyone is in it together. Rest in Peace fellahs, we love you and miss you. You will never beforgotten. We will see all again soon.
Never forget.

Last weekend my little brother a friend of ours and I went to a show to some hardcore bands perform. Band such as Riots of Eighty , The Subtle Way and another band which name I have forgotten. Out of all the bands I heard there I gotta say that The Subtle Way was the best performers. Riots of Eighty were pretty amazing also, they have a sick with it bass player.
The Subtle Way music is a mix of Screamo / Metal / Hardcore which is an excellent for swerving hardcore dancing.
My brother Royce with the drummer of The Subtle Way (unnatural powers). My brother is also a drummer that plays the same genre.
This is the bassist for the Riots of Eighty. He was very impressed with the enthusiasm that was shown by my party as they and the Subtle Way performed.
The aftermath of dancing to the Riots of Eighty and The Subtle way. Look we are all sweaty. The little asian kid in the pick is Andre, a classmate of ours.
So life finally begins
Hey everyone. I know it has been 32 days since I wrote a personal entry and I apologize for that. I’m sorry for my lack of dedication to this blog which I know you are all so eager to know about my life, right? I promise I will post more often, okay? Now to update you on the activities of “killing the mockingbird”.
Yes, I have graduated from high school. 17 years of parental dictatorship ended June 8 2008, now I can get kicked out my parents home with ease and do what ever the hell I want (bad idea).
This is my graduated class of 2008. I can be spotted on the top right side of this picture, my head next to the eight. Along side of me standing is Lindsay Yoo (Most random partner) , like rebels we stand on top of our seats while everyone else stands at the level.
The two most important women of my life. (Lady on the right my lovely mother, left my sweetheart Anna). I love them both so very much.
I had the pleasure to be baptized the same weekend I graduated. (Expect a entry explaining my concerns about baptism).
The five of us communicate with Tetragamaton before we are cleanse through baptism.
My Aunt, Mother and younger cousins all attentive to the photo being taken.
Mother overly excited, wouldn’t let go of me. “You can let go of me now”
Me and my good friend Ben Cheng (Taiwan), I will miss him.
Mr. Colby Redell jumps into my arms just in time for the Kodak moment.
More of us graduates posing for photo in 94 degree weather.
Lindsay and I (Most random of class 2008) sandwich Mr. Chapman.
After the graduation ceremony I had to move out my dorm, as I was my mother requested a photo with famous Dean Jason Foster (Truly a great man if I ever knew a real one).

Hello and welcome to Killing The Mockingbird (KTMB). My name is Rufus Jones III and this is the first official post on KTMB. KTMB will be updated as freqeuntly as I can update it with new entries (usually once a day).
(Q) Whats up with Killing The Mockingbird?
(A) The name was inspired a book titled “To Kill A Mockingbird” written by Harper Lee . The main theme of this novel is notion towarded the killing of the innocence ( being the Mockingbird or Tom Robinson in the book). The title KTMB does not promote the destruction of innocence, its title only attempts to reveal blatantness of it. I blog about these things and other interesting topics and events that happen in my life.
