No, that's not right, gravity sucks Life blows.....

A very good friend of mine, whom I've know since I was about 16, committed suicide today. He was the most talents person I have ever known.
Heart surgeon, oil painting artist, custom jewelry designer, hand made furniture builder, hand crafted guitar and violin maker.
Funniest SOB you've met.
And a very trouble man.....

I'm sad... and pissed off..... and I miss him......

Greg, I love ya man.....


Sorry for the downer guys..... But I had to leave his name somewhere......

Barth.  Truly sorry for the loss of your friend.  Suicide is incredibly difficult situation to respond too, because it is a decision that is nigh impossible to understand.  God bless and comfort Greg's family and friends.

Barth, we're all her for you.  There is no simple, easy answer.  It will take some time to come to grips with this.  Let us know if it gets dark.

Barth - so sorry to hear about your friend.  I know everyone always wonders how such great people fall so hard, but sometimes we'll never know.  We just know that life's less robust without them...

Wow. Sorry to hear that. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

remember the best of him.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

unfortunately Ive buried enough friends to have learned that pretty much nothing good comes from asking why.
for me at least its a dead end on emotion. 
your buddy sounds like he was quite the character Barth.  be happy you knew him.
