I hadn't really seen him since school, but it is a harsh reality. Even when at 18, the prime of your life, moving onto university - life can get taken from you. Even those of us who didn't know him too well... It hit us all.  

I cannot imagine how his parents must feel. They think they've brought up a good kid, he moves onto uni, then this happens...

Added to my severe dislike of awards evenings (http://www.golivewire.com/forums/peer-psysnb-support-a.html) it didn't make it a good day.  

BUT, the icing on the very CAKE that IS the 19th of March, my girlfriend went through a rough time today. She is hurt physically and mentally. It all stacks up.

My 19th birthday was Monday of this week. I just feel old now... I could use a pick-me-up

As for the pick-me-up, every morning when i wake up i like to think about 5 things that i am grateful for in my life, roof over my head, food, loving family, it can do wonders, try it.

May the wind always be on your back and the sun upon
your face and may the winds of destiny carry you
aloft to dance with the stars.

I'm sorry to hear that dude, i hope this isn't too inappropriate and i apologize if it is, but do you know how he died? :

As far as I know it was a virus. Somehow affected his heart. Think it was indirect. Virus >> condition >> heart.

hey, but life happens.  all we can do is move on really.  it may seem unfair, it may seem like it's made all out for you, but in the end, the world keeps turning.  the best part of life is just ahead of you though and to get there, ya gotta get older.  everything comes in time.  unfortunately, your friend's time came too early.  as bad as you may feel, it would've probably been in your friend's best interest to do your best and be strong and move on.

whatever you do with this, i hope you feel better.

One of the things i like to keep in mind is "Don't go through life, grow through life."

I think that really the only thing you can do is to take this and learn from it. You've had the truth of life slammed home the hard way: now's the time to learn from that. See what you can gain and then move on. You don't have to let it drag you down.

And as for awards ceremonies...I don't know what I can say about those that will cheer you up. I hate them too.

And happy birthday, I guess.

Oh we're going to have to put an end to that shit.

It is the weekend now, and I guess I'm feeling a little better,

Cheers, Xx
