Mick Foley lost his biggest fan this weekend...

So I found out yesterday that an aquaitance of mine, Jack Martinez, died Saturday afternoon. He had a heart condition, as well as Diabetes, but this was completely unexpected. I haven't spoken to him in quite a while, but it hit me harder than I expected...I guess I've been in a mood lately...but I wanted to play another game of cards against his Mick Foley deck. I just don't know what happened. My friend Chris is finding out when his service will be, and I almost don't want to go, but I know I have to. I haven't been to a funeral since my gradfather's...and that was 14 years ago. I didn't get to go to my grandma's service in 2001. I'm just afraid of what this'll bring up. What it's brought up. And I didn't even know him THAT well, is the thing that kicks me in the ass. The fact that I won't get to play cards against him ever again is another...and he was a really good card player. Well, not REALLY good, but good enough to know that he was better than most, but not as good as others. He was better than me, I'll give him that.

And I'm still not sure why, but I think I prayed. I started meditating, and ended up praying. And I'm not even Christian, so I don't know what that means. I really don't know why I'm even typing this long, except that my fingers won't stop. But I have to go to a job interview now...so I really will stop.

He was feeling "weird", so he left the tournament after round 3...I hope his last match was a win.
