tarheel, that needs to be printed on a T-shirt.


Everyone I know who has died are still dead



Amanda and I were just talking about this last night. I don't have anyone really close to me that's died yet. Grandparents, an Uncle, a work friend or two... maybe around 10-12 people ... probably way more if I widen the circle... but just people I was actively in touch with, it's not so many.

And of course Beest.

I don't know if it's a lot. Depends on how many people you know in the first place.

You have to figure that the rate will increase over time as you and all the people you know get older.

When people of your generation die, it's the most brutal. There have been a handful for me, and they suck. People leaving behind a spouse and kids who are still at home. It's not right. My cousin died when he was around 13. That's just bullshit right there. Tractor he was driving flipped on him.

I will do you a favor by joining the circle when I kick the bucket. When do you want me to go? This year next year? Lets make it after next cuz the guys are planning a meet in NE next fall. I would like to be alive when I go.
