I have always had a different take on death and why shouldn't I? Its the most natural thing on this planet. I still can't believe Tom is gone though. Someone I was so close with. Someone who was one of my best friends since middle school. Someone who knows more about who I am than even my parents really do. Dead...just like that. Its interesting to see how people who hated this kid react to death. I feel like death is such a band wagon ordeal. Why should the state of someones existence determine how you feel about them?People are coming out of the wood work to say their piece and in the end thats cool. When I saw the segment on the news about the accident it was amazing how out of proportion the media portrayed him, his words and the events that unfolded. I never was on the right side of a top story to truly realize how FUCKED the media in this country is. But the point is, they didn't know Tom. They conjured up some wacked out suicidal scheme like he planned to run head long into parked cars on his motorcycle, making it sound like some big mystery novel. In the end that was Tom. The way I saw it he was either going to live till he was 100 or go out young with a bang. And he sure did. So yea thats it. Viewing is on Sunday and I don't know how I feel about seeing a best friend in a coffin. They way I'm looking at it right now is that we had so much fun hanging out the last time I saw him that I'm almost content with a happy final memory and not seeing him lying there. Ah life when everything was going so perfect this happens.
