life is precious
so I decided to go home for a few days last week...it has turned into a week...
I came home last tuesday, and had some car problems...got scammed by dirty garage greaseballs along the way... and after 8 hours, finally got home and my car still needed some attention...
I was supposed to work today and tomorrow in tally...I guess I will be begging to pick up next week.. I only have 3 day shifts next week... woooo :-/
something happened wednesday...something horrible...I dont really feel like I have a right to be affected by it... but it really has been eating me up inside, the reality of life, and of death... John Vaughn was killed in Iraq...some of you may not remember who he is, some of you may...but He was Duane's best friend, the one from Colorado. He had so much life and he loved what he did, as much as people didnt agree with the war and the military and such, he could have been their poster child, he lived,breathed, and ate military... I feel so incredibly sad to think of ANYONE dying at such a young age of 23, he had his whole entire life left to live, and it was just taken away in a blink of an eye... it has made me really think about death and life alike and I realize hundreds of thousands of people have been dying in this ongoing war and it makes me so incredibly sad to think of all the people effected by that....I'm not going to get on a high horse about the politics of it all so dont worry, I'm just finally realizing what its like to know someone...to really know them, and have them be gone way before their time...Now my time with John wasnt long in comparison to most, but I'm glad that I had the chance to know him for about the year I did, I have a lot of really great memories with him and duane and sammy and I'm glad that I have those.. I'm just sorry that his family and his friends wont get a chance to have the memories of him they deserve... him getting married, having kids, and everything that comes inbetween.... life really isnt fair, but I guess something I am realizing is that the only thing certain about life, is that it ends, and all you can do about it is try and live as much as you can while you still have the chance
