I am the cold wind that almost burns...

Dedicated to memory
A friend of mine called me last night with some tragic news, one of my old high school friends, Brent Galindo, passed away the other night in a car accident. I haven't seen him for about 6 or 7 years, but I still remember him, and I could have possibly seen him at my hs reunion. Although I only knew Brent in high school, I was still able to interact with him enough to know that he was a really nice guy and that there are many people who's lives have been blessed with his presence. This is a sad sad day.

And thinking about this last night just really took me out of it. It just kindof reminded me how we really, just never know, and often times, we get so caught up in our own things and we put things off. Well, the possibility for tomorrow not coming is real. It doesn't really scare me in that I try not to put things off, well, things that are important to me at least. What makes me sad is when I see people who are completely stagnant, just completely stuck where they are, not doing anything at all... I mean, I'm not trying to be judgemental saying that I'm a better person..all I'm saying is that people shouldn't just sit around when they could be doing things that are making them happy. One of my good friends told me once, "Say what you mean and mean what you say," and I would even go so far as to add on to that, "Say what you mean, mean what you say, and don't wait to say it, because...you never know."

"May the road lead you where you need to go, may the rain fall softly on your face, and may the wind blow lightly on your back."
