after so much crap that happened today, my toenail decides to just pop off!
yet, despite how much my day absolutely sucked all shapes and consistencies of ass....
there are still those stories that happen that make us appreciate our well-being:
his name is jake, and he and i played together when we were young. our moms were great friends, so we were forced to hang out. in general, i really loved the guy.
he's a junior at austin high now, and prevailing in all that he does.
he went on a camping trip a week ago and had a great time.
once back at home, he started to feel strange.
a day later his heart, lungs and kidneys were shutting down. he was rushed to the emergency room. he was diagnosed with a VERY rare virus that is contracted sometimes from a rare species of rat.
he almost died last night.
fortunately he is in ICU right now and presumably stable. he is going to make it through.
but think about it.
i like it when people are straight with me. thus, on the switch side of that
i don't like it when people are not straight with me.
