Everyone I know goes away, in the end



Last night, a very good friend of mine, one that I considered family, passed away.

Tasha Marie Bourne, better known as "Tomb", has left this world. Her heart stopped suddenly following a tough and rigorous battle with lymphoma. An orphan at age 12, Tasha never really had anyone to turn to. She saw me as her mentor and father figure.

Tasha... your time here on Earth mattered. You've touched my life as well as the lives of many others. I just... I just wish that someone as young as you didn't have to leave us.

Gods... am I even forming complete sentences? It's hard to concentrate...

May angels lead you in, Tasha.

"And if you were with me tonight
I'd sing for you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big...
God wouldn't let it live"

Semper fi, George

An e-mail from a co-worker this morning (a hardcore fan of the man) has alerted me that legendary comedian and actor, George Carlin, has died. Blew my mind completely. This was definitely not the best way to start the week.
