death is certain, life is not
when you walk out of a class on friday afternoons and head into the weekend, you would never expect that on monday, that boy that sits in front of you, who you joke around with everyday, will be gone from this world forever.
a friend of mine, troy pollett, was stabbed and killed friday night/saturday morning. just friday afternoon we were sitting in class joking about my our teacher's squirrel watching habits. i didn't really say by when i walked out of class, just becuz it was routine and i knew we'd all be back on monday. then stephanie called me this morning and told me. friday night, troy and 2 of his friends were driving home from a party when a black SUV started following them, honking their horns, flashing their lights, etc etc. finally troy and his friends pulled over and started arguing with the guys. one of the guys pulled out a knife and stabbed troy in his side, straight into his heart. troy died instantly. one of troy's friends got stabbed but survived. the other wasn't wounded, and he held troy in his arms until the minute he died.
i really just don't understand how these things can happen, why this world justifies this shit. says that it's ok for troy to leave this world. he's been in leland plus, working his ass of to get enough credits to graduate. he was only 18 years old, 2 months until graduation. he had a girlfriend who he was in love with... who he thought he'd marry.
which brings me to a different point... it just got me thinking. wut in the fuck would i do if kyle died. if just one day, he was gone. the only person who gives me life meaning. i would be a fucking nutcase. words can not explain.... which is why i have so much sympathy for julina (troy's girlfriend). just, how do u pick up and move on after that? i couldn't even IMAGINE. seriously dude... wut the fuck.
two lessons learned. 1) road rage is not worth the shit that could possibly come out of it. you will never see that person again, wut's the point in flipping them off, or tailing them?
2) do NOT take life for granted, or the people in your life. you may never see them again
You were an awsome person Troy... and now maybe you'll be able to see Ms Farran's squirrel antics for yourself.
RIP Troy Pollett
