Fallen Thoughts

:: 7.28.2002 ::

I had to cut in the Bonnaroo story to get this out:

I've never had to deal with someone close to me being murdered before. I got "the call" yesterday around 11AM. I haven't slept much since then.. it's a feeling like none I've ever experienced before. it opens your eyes so wide to a world that can be so very cold. it makes me wish I could blink and erase such cruelty.

Thomas was the kind of guy that you could meet once and feel like you'd known him forever. I was fortunate enough to meet him and have him as a friend. a great friend. I just wanted to tell all of you great people who read daily, stop by now and again, or even just happen to drop by - please send all of your positive energy to Thomas' family and friends. and to all of my friends who may be reading - much love to all of you.

please remember that no one is promised tomorrow.. speak your mind, follow your heart, reach as high as you must to grab your dreams and bring them down so that you may bring them to life. treasure the time we have together..

"I can't tell you how many ways that I've sat
And viewed my life today, but I can tell you
I don't think that I can find an easier way
So if I see you walking hand in hand in hand
With a three armed man, you know I'll understand

But you should have been in my shoes yesterday
You should have been in my shoes yesterday"

- Blind Melon, 'St. Andrew's Fall'
