Tonight I went to the service for a 21 year old, childhood friend who died early Saturday morning in a car accident.
Yep another one bites the dust, fucking driving after drinking. Jason died in January, drunk and driving. Now Jesse, and I haven't yet forgotten Joshua... also driving after using.
What a fucking mess. 250 people packed into the Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Hall, 200 of whom I used to know (Jesse and I were both raised JW and left) and then all these rednecks who were his friends. After he became an adult he kind of morphed into a Wakulla County person (a country guy, nothing wrong with that) but they were such disgraces! Dipping snuff, with their identical faces, sideburns, trucks with tags like "It's America! Speak English or leave!" and their rebel flag gear.
I didn't make it to the viewing, as I am on community control (a euphamism for house arrest, or home prison) and my cunt of an officer said i couldn't even go to the service at first. She said, he wasn't a relative. I said, Ms. Hall, I am going. She said, okay.
I am glad I was not at the viewing to be honest though, I heard it was a real scene. One of his friends even put a rebel flag accoutered lighter in his casket! The fucking gall of whoever that was, I would like to flog him/her.
One thing I noticed also was, there were so many hot girls there. I could not believe it! Where was I when they were reaching puberty? I mean, I went to the same high school as Jesse too, the only one in Wakulla, and the girls didn't look like that.
It's something like the greek phrase "Eros and thanatos" (love and death) you go to a funeral and can't concentrate because all the little 20 year olds have on dresses that scream sex. I digress.
His father hugged me and said "thanks for coming", and I, like the loser I am said "I wouldn't have missed it," hugged him hard and squeezed his arm and gave him a sincere look. I wanted to scream "Jim, I am so sorry you lost your son, and THANK YOU, for noticing that I came! Please take care, your son was a top notch guy!" but i didn't.
Finally, this last, disturbing bit of news. Out of the hundreds packed in there, there was one girl VIDEOTAPING... my own fucking 26 year old sister! How inappropriate was that?

Hey, I didn't see this.
I'd say "I'm sorry", but I didn't do anything wrong.
Like I mentioned in another post of yours, my 27 yr old friend died yesterday.
Malignant melanoma.
I cried more before he was gone than after.
I couldn't see him or go to the funeral that is this weekend because I am a few thousand miles away (and broke, etc).
I think you can only feel so much before you don't get upset like you used to..

"I cant seem to get emotional about anything anymore, unless it directly involves me. pretty pathetic isnt it? My gfather died 3 weeks ago and all I could think about was me. Same story here. I think it has something to do with psychotropic drugs that I take. I dont have emotions anymore it seems"
it's not the drugs. i'm the same way, a lot of the time(e.g. when my own grandfather died last Christmas)

I lost 3 cousins last month. One was 20, one almost 3, and one was 8 months. No drinking was involved, but the family friend that was driving survived. Baby caskets and urns will burn into your memory.
TO make things just a little harder, their birthdays were (respectively) 4 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months after the crash. We have gone through one date, but have 2 more yet to get past. Add to that the upcoming fall/winter holidays this year that will make it really hard on my family.

/\For the honest: "I wouldn't have missed it" for the world comment.
I've been to quite a few of these.
During the eulogy at one, the minister not only forgot the deceased's name,
but then, after a long time and finally locating it on his notes, proceeded
to mispronounce both the first and last name.
I mean how in the fuck hard is the name?: Rounds
The first name?, you wouldn't believe it if I told you.
Fuk'n preachers .

Well Michael, I was going to sugest it might be the drugs, but I see you did that for me. My neighbor and I had a conversation about this awhile ago. It's like Weiland said..."too much tripping and my soul's worn thin..." Empathy is a word that no longer has a meaning for me. Desensitization can be partially attributed to all the crap you see on TV, the news etc...but I've always believed it was the drugs that did the most damage. A friend gave me a poem a long time ago that said "for every chemical you trade a piece of your soul." But shit, I don't need to tell you that.

In regards to why you bothered to write this anyways...
Yeah, it's pretty strange that your sister would video
tape something like that. I mean, who the hell wants
to see that? What was she planning on doing with
it? Maybe you can get a shot of the fuck that thought
your buddy would appreciate the lighter though.
On a side note...is your sister hot?

seems like it would be so, earth collapse, but truly house arrest is hell. Ive been in several county jails and if your life isnt TOTALLY in order, when you get on house arrest, you are guaranteed to fail. Its really difficult.
Rapes? That's not as much an everyday thing as you think. Thats what punks are for, why rape when there are plenty of guys giving it up consenually? not like I know personally or anything of course...

I'm sure Bubba down at county agrees that "Community Control" "SUCKS!" compared to "Jail-Time."
Cause who doesn't want to deal with daily anal rapage, random stabbings with soap shanks, maggot-infested chow and getting stuck on bottom bunk with a 500 pound Jamal who wets the bed...

Do the cops wherever you live not have anything better to do than stop people in cars and check their medication?
Pshhh.

It sounds pathetic, but it was after a crash (me in an auto, into a tree, no one was hurt) and I was so smashed on fucking valium i dont remember the incident. We are talking a bottle of valium, i used to just go on weekend blackouts for kicks, or so it seemed.

Ok smart guy, I did steal a car, i have burgled more houses than you can dream of, infact, I am a compulsive burgler. I burgle so much it's bordering on serial burgling! Don't get me started on the rapes and kitten murders either man, im fucking hard core. Watch out.
Honestly, it is a shitty excuse for house arrest. I should have never taken the plea 'bargain.' I just wanted to avoid jail and I was facing up to 5 because it was a felonious affair. You see, here in florida Dui is a misdemeanor, but because of a certain factor they upgraded it to a felony. My lawyer threw them a possible deal, they agreed (with no jail time! they wanted me to do 6 months min.) and i jumped on it, without realising what community control really was. Now, looking back I would have said, PLEASE give me 9 months in jail, but no WAY am i doing a day of house arrest.
It REALLY sucks.

off the wagon: yeah this place sucks, im kinda over a barrel though and have to stay for a while longer.
50 miles north is thomasville ga, im not sure its any better.
chicane: yes he was an elder and that was a paraphrase, but he basically meant that adam and eve sinned, making us all imperfect ergo we all die. cut and dry jehovahs witness sentiment, get with the program dude.
sebcharrot: why am i on house arrest? You are going to laugh or cry or puke, one of those: DUI. driving under the influence of prescription sedatives.
i know, you don't even have to say it

"I wanted to puke when the guy giving the service said "And we all die, because Adam and Eve sinned.."
What a jerk. I heard today about some girl a guy I know...knows, and she says she's a devout Christian, and that everyone who died in the Tsunami disaster must have been paying for something, and must have been evil sinners, because God doesn't kill innocent people.
Fucking ignorance...
Incidentally, why are you on house arrest?

Definately a stream of thought.
Let's see. Sex, rednecks, camcorders...you left out the part, though, where the one guy got drunk and mooned everyone.
Wherever you live, I'd like to be 50 miles north of it at all times; even if that means I have to make a HUGE detour when trying to cross it.
