Here's To You Feb. 17th, 2005 @ 06:39 pm
So yeah, it sucks that 95% of the time I feel like I have something to say it is when I am pissed off or upset about something. This time its a little bit of both. I haven't put much of anything on here since I joined, so I guess that is a good thing, things must have been going pretty well.

So here we go...
Its been a pretty good week for me, but not so good for some other people. Just this week we lost a great guy that was close to a lot of people I know at some point in our lives. Tad Eckerd died in car accidents this week.

Tad, was one of the first friends I can remember growing up. I remember swimming at his house when I was in elementary school. I remember spending a lot of time at his house. I remember when his fish committed suicide by jumping out of the back of the tank. I haven't seen much of Tad since high school. I would run into him from time to time at K-Mart where he worked. We would say hi, and talk about life and such. Never did I imagine that I would be sitting I my computer wishing I had gone to K-mart more often.

It turns out Tad was heading home at the end of the day, with his 4-month old in the car on monday. He was hit by a careless driver and died by the time anyone got to the accident. His son died in the hospital today. THAT F'N SUCKS! I don't know who the mother of the child was, maybe Tad told me once and it has since slipped my fragile mind. But I am sorry. Tad was a wonderful person, one of those few bright lights in this dismal dirty world, and I miss him already, despite him no longer being much of a part of my life. Next time I go to K-mart I am gonna hope to God that I run into him.

So, just think, that could have been anyone of us. We could have been in that car, we could have been the loved ones in the hospital waiting to take that baby home. We could have been the guy in the other car, and have to live with this for the rest of our lives.

Do me a favor. Next time you are bitching about work, kids, friends, loved ones...
Think of these two and be glad you have something to complain about.

Tad, I love you man.
