Well. At least somethings are happening in life. That's positive right? Well not always. A very good friend of mine attempted suicide last Sunday, was found (fortunately) in time, and is now in a mental institution under around the clock watch. I spoke to himself just the other day. It's hard when stuff sort of gets under your skin like that. I mean, I know he wasn't the happiest camper around, but it's a big step from that to offing yourself. It's the one time I'm happy he failed at something. I'm of course trying my best to be there for him, and help him out whenever. But I'm not the kind of person who believes in interventions. He lives his life as he choses, I'm not gonna tell him what to do. But I'm also not gonna abandon him, no matter what happens. Loyalty above all else. And I'll happily do whatever is in my power to keep him on the right track. Whatever you need, buddy.
On a happier note, another old mate, who the diligent readers will remember, is getting married.. or rather, GOT married. Yes, he claims he's even gone and gotten himself into fatherhood. What do you know. The clever readers will have guessed the identity of the secret guest by now. Yes, it is indeed Holden. I might have told him before, but here goes again: Congrats on getting your life on the right track, dude. It's impressive, to say the least. Not that Holden was a loser or going downtown on a one way ticket. But like me, he was sort of in a rut. No job and no real prospects for one. So what did Holden do? Yes, you surely remember. He joined the Lord's Army (US), and despite what the hippies claim, it did him well. He met a girl, got married, a place to live, and all of a sudden, the future is pink with little daffodils painted on the walls. Yes siree, Holden is, what is most commonly referred to as, the man. Grats!
Lastly, the riots are sort of dying down. YES YES the video is on it's way, so calm the fuck down. I'm only human (or am I? You'll get the answer right after these messages, don't go away). And the detailed description is in the works. So anyway, I was out a few hours yesterday, walking around. Lots of police, but they were all just sort of loafing about. No rioters. Not that the case is over by any means of the word, but... at least there isn't street fighting and fires everywhere. Visible scars on the roads after bonfires tho. But oh well. Updates when and if needed.
