A horrible anniversary

Today is the  anniversary of the worst thing to ever happen in my life.  Seventeen years ago on this very day, one of my best friends, a guy who was like my brother killed himself. I couldn't believe it then and it's hard to believe it now. Just the day before we had played in a high school football scrimage and then the next day I got the call telling me he was gone. I never saw any signs that he was struggling but I still feel like I let him down by not being able to prevent it from happening. I think about him every day and I can't believe that he's now been dead for as long he lived. It's only fitting that I woke up today with a cold so I feel lousy in body and mind.

DMZ, I miss you bro and I hope someday we'll meet again somewhere somehow.

 

Lyric of the Day is a song that was always blasted on our team's bus and he used to play it loud mainly to anoy me so in his honor here it is.

Here I go again on my own, Down the Only Road I've ever Known

Last Lyric

As Thornie called it. Wrote for Luck by the Happy Mondays

It's a bad anniverseray to have. My best friend killed himself over 40 years ago and it still haunts me. In his case, he was 'half dead' anyway because he had rotted his brain on drugs including LSD and could barely function. But even so, it hurt then and still hurts now. It may become easier for you in the future, but will probably always be with you. Good luck.

Sorry to hear about your friend Dawn, that kind of loss is always difficult to deal with. As for the lyric, I'm going to give someone else a chance since it is such an easy one, Damn Tawny was hot in that video.
