back home i had this really good friend who moved away when we were like 12 or something (i'm 19 now), and we stayed in contact for a few years but eventually just kinda lost touch. our mom's still talk though, and we just found out that his brother died over the weekend. i've been lucky to this point in my life that the only people i've known and lost were old. really old. like it wasn't a surprise, and that's easier to handle. but just to hear that someone 2 years older than me, who i knew pretty well...i mean i went over to their house quite a bit and my friend and his brother were always there, playing basketball or whatever...its just one of those things in life that makes you stop everything and ponder. who decided it was his time to go? who determined that a family should have their son, their brother taken away? who's to say it's not my turn next month, next week, tomorrow? idk i don't really have a point in posting this, just saying it's easy to lose sight of what's important in life and what's petty, and that sometimes the world just doesn't make any sense. i mean over a period of 6 or 7 years i watched this guy grow up, i watched him go from a carefree kid into his teenage years, i heard all about him finding his way in life and just all of a sudden all of that's gone.
sorry to be a debbie downer, but i'm just shaken up by this, and i want you all to know that each and every one of you has an effect on my life in one way or another. you all entertain me, give me something to look forward to every day, and even though it's a stupid little game, it's something that has great meaning in my life, for what it's worth.
