Screw dreaming about them...I do those things

I was thinking about order and chaos; how, like good and evil, we wouldn't know one without the other.

Yeah, I don't know.

Here's something else that came to me one day: If you take an empty windowless room, cover the walls (one of which covers the door), floor and ceiling with mirrors and turn on the light, what'll happen?

Maybe it will amplify the light inside of the box until it explodes with brightness.

I don't remember a lot of details.

Better make that switch to decaf soon, Bro.

Just messin' with ya. That is intriguing though.

I lost my best friend yesterday....my best friend of 30 years.

He had leukemia and it hit him out of nowhere. He was a heavy smoker
(2 packs a day) and the docs blamed it on the benzene in cigarettes.

He stood 6'3." He was the brother I never had. Even the wife loved him.
He was a riot. He was my music buddy and my 'rasslin buddy and had my
back when shit got deep. He was a democrat and I am a conservative,
yet we got along like nobody's business.

We went to concerts and local WWE 'rasslin shows. We played PS2 and
PS3 and partied like thieves.

We all sat down and cried when he told us he had cancer. Weird thing is,
he came to accept things as they were, yet the wife and I were
devastated when we found out he was terminal.

I got to help take care of him on weekends a few times to give his mom a
break, and it was heartbreaking to watch him decline. Every trip home
was torture - knowing he was back there suffering.

I don't know if any of you have ever known or had someone in YOUR
family sick with leukemia, but it SUCKS. CANCER FRIGGING SUCKS. It's
vicious and brutal. You don't hear much about it in the media. I won't go
into details, but no human should have to go through that.

The wife and I have come to terms with it too, as it's about HIM, and he
doesn't have to suffer anymore. The wife and I will get better with time
and we'll celebrate your life with us soon Bro.

I'm so thankful for the time we had when we had it, but we have to carry
on. Time waits for no one.

Anyway, I love you man - and I hope we meet again on the other side.

I lost my best friend yesterday.

I am sorry Sigs. I have no words except that I hope you all find peace and some sort of closure.

Thanks Soup. We will in time, Bro. Knowing that he's not suffering
anymore is a good start. We're going to drive back down and volunteer
in a bone marrow drive being held in his honor.

Thank you Schu (((((Schu)))))

My only regret was not saying "goodbye" to him. I always told him "later
dude"....I think there was a mutual unspoken understanding that the time
wasn't right for it yet, but we visited last weekend, and were going back
down this weekend, but he had a seizure, never regained consciousness
and left us in between visits. Maybe it was better that way.

Sorry man, that sucks bad. I have seen the ravages of what cancer does........................shitty deal. Peace and no more pain for your bro.

And in time, to you as well.

^^^ Thank you Brother. I remember now that you've been there too.

Those were awesome words.

I know the right thing to do at this point is to let him go so his spirit can
find peace. It's just not that easy right now.

I decided to do volunteer work with the National Bone Marrow Registry in
my best friend's honor. It's not much, but it's better than doing nothing.
I want to do anything I can to help cure leukemia because it sucks.

I know of a 19-year-old named Chad who will soon (hopefully) receive a bone marrow transplant.

Good - Chad is in remission from leukemia.
Bad - for the third time.
Better - this will be the first time he had a transplant.

It's a shame this kind of thing happens to people.

I hope Chad's marrrow transpant is a success. I don't think you have to
tell him to be strong. It reads like he has that part pretty much down.

I think his chances are really good. Keep fighting the good fight Chad.
All the best to you.

So far this year, Florida has seen 13 people struck by lightning.

Only I can prevent lightning strikes.

I just choose not to.
