I don't know what to say except that now I understand why so many people "cling to religion" as Obama once mentioned. For your sake, I sure hope there is an afterlife and you're looking down on us and smiling. You were a great friend, a great guy, and one of the first people to teach me the truth about politics after so many years in the Republican wilderness. I wish I could say something -- anything -- to ease your friends' and family's pain, but I can't; my pain isn't going away either. I don't know what else to say. I'm truly sorry I never said it before. Go Blue.
"A Good Friend is Always Around"
Hope's pretending. It's timber on the fire
Embers free the cinders
And send them ever higher
I dreamed I saw you
When you're old and tired
Afraid to move your hands
And expose the wires
We can't be caught and
Can't stay here with
Heat close by and
Your insides spilled
And do your friends know the way to go
When they leave your hands
The chamber's empty glow
It's a lonely ending
When your heart's grown cold
The kid is bored pretending
Now you'll never grow old
We can't be caught and
Can't stay here while
Guilt sets in with
Night's cool chill
RIP Dan. Michigan made the tourney - you would have been happy about that. They got a #10 seed and they are playing Clemson in the first round.
I will root hard against OSU for you. F Tressel and all those other assholes.
