In a funk...

I have been in kinda a funk all day and could not figure out why. Then I saw the date. Three years ago today, my friend Shawn died from cancer. Shawn was 36 years old and left behind 3 kids and a wife. I was friends with him for 25 years and his death is still hard on me. I hear a lot about "oh well he is in a better place" and such. I know people mean well so with all do respect I say....

Bullshit.

The man's place is with his family period. I never bought the whole "better place" thing or any of the other niceties people like to use to try and make you feel better.

You want to make me feel better? Turn back time and find a cure, otherwise save the sentiment for your pet.


Shawn, hopefully you have the internet in heaven......miss ya bro.
