This really has been the year from hell. I was given a peice of bad news this morning I'm not willing to share here, but all 2003 Tahanto graduates will likely find out soon enough anyhow. Feel free to contact me direct if you don't already know what I'm talking about.
I'm enough of a paranoid hypochondriac as it is, I don't need shit like this to start happening to people my age. I can barely function sometimes as it is, and working on an ambulance only makes me more nuerotic. In light of the events, that's a really selfish thing to say, but for the love of God, I can't take too much more of this. I thought this is the age where everyone graduates, gets married, and sends me pictures of their kids before this kind of news begins cropping up.
Really, the worst part about this whole mess, besides the events themselves, is that I'm about 90% sure not very many people know yet, so I'm like a harbinger of a secret I don't want to know, let alone share, and yet I feel I kind of have a responsibility to do so. I feel even worse because I know that the individual in question would be pissed I'm privvy and even care.
Again, one of those individuals who was trying to accomplish something with their life, and succeeding, and by all accounts was really happy with their direction. It's not fucking fair. I sit on my computer and program all day or sit in the Firehouse. This is the kind of stuff you expect to happen to the listless, a category I feel I deserve to be placed in more and more lately. Not. Fucking. Fair. But then we don't get to make these choices.
Fuck 2008. It's dug a pretty deep hole, and it's got a long way to go just to return to a "blah" kind of year.

I've been saying both of those things all year: "2008 sucks" and "It's not fair."
I just checked out your blog recently for the first time because I didn't know it existed until I saw the link on Jamie's.
You've got one hell of a vivid, intelligent style of writing. Definitely looking forward to some more material.
A little disappointed I have no idea what you're discussing in this particular post but it's well-written regardless.
Yeah 2008 sucks already. You'd think, as most forms of intelligent life are bipedal that there would only be 2 shoes to drop on our unwitting human heads. The monster governing the fate of 2008 is some kind of heinous millipede.
