Massive Wall of Bummer to Follow...Pass On By
Getting old sucks...people around you start to die. I stopped by to see Todd a couple of weekends ago...a dear friend that I've known for 40 yrs this Sept, since our freshman yr in college. Todd's fallen on some tough times lately, he has debilitating arthritis and degenerative disk disease and is in enough pain I guess that his docs have given him enough pain meds to kill himself. And he's pretty much doing it, a little at a time...he 58 and could pass for 78, and he's so fvcked up from the meds and the arthritis that he can't even hold a cig. After visiting for awhile I said to another friend of ours, "You know you're gonna come over here and find him dead some day soon". So of course he calls this morning and says, "you were right", he'd gone over last night to find Todd 2 or 3 days dead. You know, I've lost both parents, and lost a sister after that, but for some reason, losing this friend has me crying like a baby all day...we were 19 one day, getting in trouble together, getting out of trouble together, and a couple of days later we're 59...or not. Anyway, like I say, a wall of bummer...should have passed on by, but thanks for listening if you didn't.
Here a torpedo and shot a shot to you Todd...you fvckhead.
