I've been trying to think of something positive to write, but having a hard time coming up with that. Life just really doesn't seem fair these days.
On Augus 1st I got a call from my best friend telling me that our good friends husband was dead. WHAT???? He went into work on his day off to finish up some stuff. Was being trained on putting power poles into the ground. His pole was NOT supposed to be a live pole....it was. He was electrocuted and died on the scene. He was 24 years old. We went to the Memorial on Friday and that was probably one of the hardest things I've done in my life. It was a beautiful service, but my heart is forever broken for my friend.
Then Saturday morning we get a call from a friend telling us that Paulette the lead singer from The Abuse had been murdered in her apt, that morning. What is going on??? I didn't know her on a personal level, but I was a fan, and I admired her greatly! To see her up on stage rocking out, she kicked ASS!!!
I took it upon myself to call my friends Sunday and just make sure that everyone else was okay. I had to hear everyone's voice. This whole thng has me freaking out a bit. Now all I want to do is make sure that everyone I know, knows how much I love them.
You never know how much time you have with your loved ones, so just make sure they know how much they mean to you!
Sorry this entry is so down....just where I'm at these days...however I know there's someone out there that has the ability to post a sarcastic off the wall msg that I'm sure would cause a smile out of me. lol Bring it on!!

On a lighter note here's something that I hope will cheer you up:
A businessman sends a fax to his wife:
To my Dear Wife, You will surely understand that I have certain needs
that you with your 54 years can no longer supply. I am very happy with
you and value you as a good wife.
Therefore after reading this fax, I hope that you will not wrongly
interpret the fact that I will be spending the evening with my 18 year old secretary at the Comfort Inn Hotel.
Please don't be perturbed, I shall be back home before midnight.
When the man came home, he found the following letter on the dining
room table.
My Dear Husband:
I received your fax, and thank you for your honesty.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that you are also
54 years old.
At the same time I would like to inform you that while you read this,
I will be at the Hotel Fiesta with Michael my tennis coach, who like
your secretary is also 18 years old.
As a successful businessman and with your excellent knowledge of Math,
youwill understand that we are in the same situation, although with one
smalldifference. 18 goes into 54 more often than 54 goes into 18.
Therefore I will not be back before lunchtime tomorrow.
Have a good day.
