What made you sad today...

always2late · 05-07-2011, 07:32 AM

Today is the memorial celebration for my dear friend. Although it is a celebration of his life, and we will share stories and smiles remembering the wonderful man he was, it is so very bittersweet. He was taken much too soon and it hits me on an almost daily basis that there is now a hole in my life that will always be there.

54 yo Steve Ballesteros, the 5 time major golf champ, died this morning from brain cancer in Pedrena, Spain. He died with his family surrounding him.

He will be missed. RIP Steve.

I swear this is the saddest year of my life.

Chancie · 05-07-2011, 01:12 PM

I have the it's the end of the year and

I don't really feel close to any of my colleagues and

I broke my pretty new salt shaker blues.

What a shocker. A young horse fractured his leg during the Derby. Let me use this day, as I do every year, to say how inhumane horse racing is. They run them too young and too hard and many of them end up crippled and at the slaughterhouse. Sad.

I found out a few minutes ago that a friend of mine passed away a couple hours ago. Someone had attacked him with a baseball bat Friday night. I've known this person and his entire family all my life. When I was younger our families went to church together so I was friends with him, his brother and his 2 sisters. His mom and dad were really great folks too. His sister and I were friends in the same grade since kindergarten. He was a hard-working, church-going person with a wife and kids. I've never known him to even be rude to anyone, so I have no idea why someone would attack him in the first place. I feel so sorry for his family. His mother passed a few years ago. In a way, I'm glad she wasn't here to see her oldest child pass away on Mother's Day, especially from such a violent cause.

Finding out just this morning the I have til the end of the month to find another place to live. A little notice would be nice. And the fact my roommate owes me 425 bucks that I will most likely never see is making it just that much more fun. Yipee.
