I have a long weekend this weekend. And now I may be making a trip. I just don't understand how things like this happen. A good friend of mine from Pennsylvania was killed early this morning riding his bike down the road. God knows why he was riding his bike that early in the morning, but that was just how he operated I guess. That could have been ( Read more... )

:( I'm sorry. I didn't know you knew him. I'm not sure how long it'd been since you'd kept up with him, but he seemed awfully lost, like he didn't know where his life was going. He was always walking/biking and my mother would sometimes pick him up and take him home if she saw him. I passed him on his bike just this morning (I'm fond of morning walks myself, and it's hard to feel unsafe in Blairsville).

Thank you for telling me about Sean in my other entry. I was surprised when I learned he was 29...I really thought he couldn't be older than 24. Not sure where those 5 years went. In any case, I'm glad you told me a bit about him; it makes him more of a person in my head. 'Cause honestly, when I'd say hello and try to make conversation sometimes, he really didn't make any sense at all. Like he was in another world (I mean that in a sad way, not a mean way). It's possible you could have gotten through to him, and that he would've cared to let you. He would high-five John and stuff and was friendly...but it was impossible to get beyond smiles and hellos, for me, anyway ( ... )
