From Jumping To Chalking

So I color up this railroad-converted walking/recreational bridge probably every other day with chalk. Chalk is kind of a beautiful thing because it’s brilliant and radiant if you put enough effort and creativity into it, but it will never last forever. Now read that sentence above again and replace the “chalk” with the word “life.”

yeah that’s some real shit – I just thought of that as I did a double take xD…. but anyways back to the point.

Chalking brings people together: people want to stop and watch you draw or write, they want to join in with you, they want to make their own creations, […]

Hello everyone. I am back and have noticed a vamped up view of the site. It’s so nice and new and different.

Who else felt like jumping off the bridge today?

Is clevername still around?

VVVVVVV (that IS the sound a vibrating phone makes)

It was 2:30AM when I awoke to the vibrating sounds of my phone. It was Elly. She was hysterical – crying and beyond the definition of upset. She told me to come to the pedestrian bridge immediately. I didn’t ask any questions but I had a bad notion of what was going on. When I arrived to the waterfront I was greeted by an endless crisscrossing of yellow tape, countless flashing lights, police, firetrucks, and an ambulance. There were even police boats stationed on the river. Elly and other friends of ours were talking to the authorities. […]

So I’m On The Bridge…

I went to the bridge again today. There were blockades and signs up instructing people to not venture up to it because of ice. At least I guess that’s what it said, because naturally I stopped reading as soon as I read the first word and proceeded to go up to the bridge anyways. Close a bridge? What? For my “safety”? o_O I go to this bridge an unhealthy amount of times every week and do the same thing every time. I figure I’ll jump off one of these nights.

This time was particularly nice because for the first hour I was there I was able […]

The Story of A Teenager I Met On The Bridge…..

written by The Distress

Sunday night I took a walk along a bridge that I like to call Bridge Four in the city of Louisville, which I unfortunately live in. It was dark, cold, snowy, icy, and windy. I was talking along and spotted a kid up along the rail of this bridge: he was peering out into the distance, just watching the dark water below as the currents passed. As I approached closer, thinking that I would just walk by, he spotted me and asked me if I had a cigarette. Now I don’t usually smoke but once a week at the most, but as it would be […]
