a friend of mine ran into some trouble last night. namely in the form of a DUI.
I feel for him.
I've never gotten a DUI before, but I've had my share of getting in trouble. Doing things I shouldn't do.
I know where he was at today. in his mind, thinking.
going back through the night, analyzing every turn, "where'd I go wrong?" seeing if you could have found the one decision that wouldn't have made the night go so wrong.
it's a dead end though. i've done it. you can't change what happened. you want to, you think you'll wake up and realize it's just a dream. but that doesn't happen.
one offense might not seem like alot, but pulling yourself out of that hole, well that's something else.
I know that feeling well, and I wish I could make it easier for him. but I can't.
I had my best friend killed by a drunk driver. many years ago.
but I won't turn away my friend now b/c he did what I despise. I won't be that person. i won't make a quick judgement and turn my back. I've had people tdo that to me, and I've done it too. and it hurts everyone in the end.
I'm going out tonight.
for all of you who took a shot at what the name of my small small landscaping business is, only BigBuddha got it right.
if you don't understand the reference of Zilan being a far away tropical place, then you should go take a tour of Zilan, here.
and here...
and here!
so one more question on that topic,
does any part of that logo look familiar?
