My best friend passed away last night. Heart attack. He was only 45. I’m still in shock. He was truly a brother to me.
It feel silly to be posting this here, but I’ve already done the rounds of phone calls and emails telling everyone and I need an outlet of some kind I guess.
He never posted here, but looked to me to keep him informed about Despecialized and Revisited. He loved Harmy’s work and was beyond excited for ESB:R.
My world is very different now.

As someone who almost experienced this a few weeks back all I can say is probably going to sound like a cliche or glib.
Mortality and I have not seen eye to eye for a while but it’s instances like this that really make me want kick death in the nuts (You hold his shoulders and I’ll put my big pointy boots on).
Genuinely saddened to read this. When Ady does finally complete his magnificent octopus just imagine your pal looking out of the windows of your eyes and watching it with you.

If you’re religious or believe in life after death there’s a possibility that he in fact will be there when you’re watching ESB:R. I’m not into that sort of thing but I think that’s a comforting thought.

I’ve been out of town or I’d have posted sooner. My condolences, Ray. Hang in there, my friend.

Just saw this. Very sorry, Ray. You have sympathies and condolences. I’ll keep you and your best friend’s family in my prayers.

Thanks DoubleKO and Warb.
I’m not terribly religious, but I just know he’s with his mother now. He missed her very much. I know when I get to heaven several people, including the good Lord himself, will have to be pushed aside so I can hug my friend.

Also, I’d like to publicly state that I’m a proud member of the HATE PACKING/MOVING party. That dark day looms in my near future… Courage to all who have to deal with that demon. It don’t bleed, but it can be defeated.

I just folded space from Ix. Many machines on Ix… new machines. I prefer those on Richese.

Once in a while him indoors cries out in his sleep. Usually when he has too much to drink and lays funny and he panics and I wake him up and get him a glass of water. Last night at 1am I was woken to what sounded like a burglary gone very very wrong. He was shouting and someone, telling them where to go and then alarmingly screaming as if he was being butchered alive. So I run in expecting God knows what and he opens his eyes and asks me what I’m doing in his room. So I tell him what I heard but no he just coughed. I explain to him that he did more than just cough and really should see a doctor because that was the most frightening collection of sounds I’ve every heard and I’ve lived with nursing students. He tells me to go back to my room and go to sleep. But obviously I can’t sleep so I just lie there traumatised. I need a holiday.

I keep clicking on the Star Trek thread accidentally when it gets bumped. I don’t care about Star Trek.

What is it with America and teen curfew laws? Teen curfew laws are so common in America, “the land of the free,” yet so rare in Europe.

Are they? I was a teen out late many a time and never had any issues.

I meant relative to Europe. Maybe it’s because of geographical or economic differences?

Shrug, I have no idea. I never had any issues being out late as a teenager haha. Maybe there were laws but nobody enforced them here. Other people might have had different experiences, and I’d be interested to see them chime in!

I’m glad to hear that. I didn’t have any issues being out late either besides my mom. Rarely if ever to suburban or rural areas have curfew laws.
