todays events
Today i went to a funeral for a man who had just turned 21, mike thompson. Mike was a kind man, awesome as all hell... no matter what would always shout a "HEY DUDE" at you, even if he was in the middle of a conversation with someone else. For some reason Mike decided to take his life last week. This left many of his friends ina state of shock, sure, life isn't easy for anyone, but at least Mike KNEW he is loved. I went with Angel, an exgirlfriend of his, she took it hard, i helped her out, the day went pretty good, it rained a bit this morning, but come time for the funeral it was beautiful out. perfect day, with a slight breeze. At the church, i saw the casket... it didn't really phase me that much, i realize mike is dead, i am sad, it will be tough not having talks with him, but i will learn to deal with it... what did phase me was seeing my cousin matthew come in with the family of Mike... Matthew was one of Mike's best friends, and i realized... Fuck, my cousin lost one of his best friends last week... so the funeral went on, after the funeral i went and told Matt my sympathies for his loss, and let him know that he can call me anytime he needs something. Matts a good kid, but sometimes i wonder about him.
The cemetary was not too nice, well it was nice, but mentally strainging... i consoled angel, and after about 30 minutes of standing around at the cemetary people started to pile out, again... i saw something i didn't really wanna see... my cousin go to Mikes casket, reach over touch the lid, draw the cross and say i'll miss you bro... it was the point in which i shed tears, later on he tossed a pack of smokes into the cemetary plot... classy action move matt, If only i woulda brought a dime bag... i woulda tossed it in there with the smokes.
lol, while talking to punk rock robb i mentioned that we did not know where the church was, and that when we entered the church we noticed a few people with mohawks and knew right then and there that we were in the right place... and that the night Mike died, is the same night that the dropkick murphies are gonna have to add a name to the song "barroom hero's"
in closing... lyrics to a song by megadeth called a tout le monde
A Tout Le Monde
Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied
So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all
A tout le monde
A tout mes amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
These are the last words
I'll ever speak
And they'll set me free
If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say
Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred
"So as you read this know my friends
I'd love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My body's gone that's all"
yea mike... i'll do all of that buddy
