passing...

the best girlfriend i've ever had in my life and my best friend in the whole world has lost her father. we finished our show this past friday when we got home and erica was checking her voicemails. she received a voicemail from her mom out of the blue @ 2am, announcing her dad was in the intensive care unit. she then received another phone call from a family friend saying her dad was in a coma on life support. saturday evening at dinner she received another phone call that her dad had died of a bacteria infection. it was just a short few weeks ago she was talking with her dad who was in perfect health and in the matter of 2 days he is gone. i feel so bad for her. she is the nicest, sweetest person i've ever met in my life. the things i remember most about her dad was he loved to eat and talk about food for days on end. he told terrific stories - he used to come down to vermont with erica's mom to our apartment in blackstone, ma and we'd go out for lunch and he'd tell these stories that would keep your attention and make you feel like it was movie. he was super smart, religious, knew alot about town water since that was his job, loved to count things including how many ants he killed in the house, he was unique, he was stubborn, he loved his cat, he loved to be outdoors...he lived life without all the gagdets, expensive clothes and cars that people think make them happy. he lived a simple life and was happy with it.
one of the sweetest things i always remember about him is him sending erica letters in the mail telling her whats going on his life, the families that are in close contact with them, and how much he missed her...he'd also always put a scratch ticket in their hoping erica would win a small fortune. he lived life under his own terms and showed his love for others in ways that sometimes you had to think about but was just as meaningful and heartfelt as conventional ways.

moments

life is just moments of time and you can't be greedy and ask for everything at once. you just take what you have/had and live off that moment.

enough with the nonsense lets get to the topic at hand should gay people be able to marry legally under united states law?
i say yes - why you ask? well because they deserve the same rights and liberties as any other american. screw the religion angle thats such bullshit. religion already contradicts itself so you cant even use that as an agle. wars start over religion - enough said! lets legalize marriage so i can get married! haha j/k about me getting married...
