Mortality reminder. A friend dropped dead on his treadmill yesterday morning. He'd had heart-valve issues, they think he literally blew a valve and was dead within seconds. Fuck.
and how did I outlive all but 1 of the Ramones? That's fucked up too.

Indeed...just discovered that a FB buddy, a musician who was only 25, died last night. Don't know the exact cause yet, but I suspect drunk driving was involved one way or another late on a Saturday night....

I went to Jr and Sr High with a guy who was very popular. This guy had rock star hair; that was his most enviable quality. He was the kind of 'cool' that is marked by general disdain for everyone else--by that I mean some people are popular because they are cool to people, while others--more rare ones--are popular because they are really not all that pleasant to people, and if they're good-looking enough, this achieves a sort of cool. His was the kind of cool that sort of made you covet his friendship, because it was like some kind of validation, since he treated so few people decently.
Anyway, a year or two ago he was surfing, he got out of the water, shared a joint, and collapsed to the ground. Turned out he had a congenital heart defect. He was taken off life support a week or so later.
Even though I was never all that close with the guy, it shook me up because he had changed so little. He was still in tremendous shape and had seemed to hold onto his youth in a way that few of my classmates could delude themselves into believing they had done. I thought, if that guy can go, we're all in for it, and probably sooner than we think.

I've had a horrible cough all day today, and was going to post that I thought I had The Consumption.
Reading this thread, joking about death ain't really funny, is it?
Peace to you all.

Well, you gotta laugh about it, don't you?
My friend who dropped dead on the treadmill? "Memorial service" in a bar on Sunday. Totally fitting and I had to smile.

But, today I was watching the story about that guy who blew himself and sons up (because he murdered his wife). Different animal. Nothing funny here folks.

Agreed, what a tragedy- don't you wonder what the fuck was wrong with that guy?
Like was he molested as a kid, molested his kids and the wife found out so he offed her? Or is the thing about his dad (the grandfather) having kiddie pron just a red herring? And obviously that doesn't mean anyone was molested, but it makes you wonder what the hell that woman had on that guy that he felt the need to first murder her and then take his secrets to the grave along with his two kids.
I feel really sorry for the wife's parents, they seem like nice people, and now they've lost everything dear to them.

It's BIG news here, and it's totally, totally revolting. So wrong. Completely fucked up my Sunday night and Monday.

Am I the only one who hates when people put up a memorial for the dead loved ones on the back of their vehicle?
