RIP JOEL

[lephithegreat]

OK, I don't want anyone to think that I'm doing this because I feel bad about the whole thing, becuase I didn't know Joel too well. I have talked to him quite a few times. When I think about him I think of this time when Jess and I were in Meijer and he stopped to talk to us, and I remember when I'd be in Jared's neighborhood and I'd always see him, and he'd always stop even if it was just to say "hey." So I think that this is a big loss, and this even hurt me, no where near as much as others, but it did have affect on me. He came to my house a few times and his dad used to come over a lot. But I have a few quotes, they might not apply to me, but to anyone who wants to use them, you can:

"I can see 'em in my head, pow
Memories of my nigga but he dead now
Lookin back in my yearbook all the years took
Half my peers, they're stretched for years" ~2Pac

"really wish he could come home, but when it's time to
Die, gotta go bye-bye. all a little thug could do is cry, cry."
~Bone Thugz

"Ain't no tellin' what this life is bout' to bring
One day ya here the day next ya gone." ~Bone Thugz

"Dear god, now's the time
If you're listening, show some sign
Dear god, hear me plead
Don't desert us in our need

Dear god, lend a hand
Is this really what you planned

Dear god, in you we trust
Though we've failed you, don't fail us

Oh we take what we get but we can't take much more
Do you sometimes forget what it was you created us for, dear god"
~Elton John
