Fate can be cruel, really cruel

I don't think anyone (except one) I know is still on tumblr, and probably this gives me the avenue to post my thoughts that I don't wish to post on other social media.

I haven't paid much attention to friendships in recent years. It's not like I slammed my doors, but it's just more of "there's always next time". Life is busy enough as it is (read: corporate work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion). Until suddenly there isn't a next time.

30 years is too short a lifetime, but somehow that's all fate has given to you. And the manner in which you had to go, it's almost like fate is playing a cruel joke on you, and the people around you. For one of the warmest, kindest person I had ever known, you didn't deserve this. I don't think the media has been fair. I don't think social media has been fair. I don't even think the MP has been fair. But alas, I know nothing because I haven't caught up in a while.

I am at a loss for words, and I don't think words will do justice to the tsunami of emotions that is inside me. But such is a reminder that life has never been fair, and never will.

RIP my friend. I wished I had caught up more with you over the past year. I thought we would next meet at our friend's wedding. This lingering regret, that it something that I will hold on to.

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he’s going out to buy an envelope:

“Oh, she says, well, you’re not a poor man. You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I’m going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.

I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I’ll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don’t know. The moral of the story is - we’re here on Earth to fart around.

And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don’t realize, or they don’t care, is we’re dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it’s like we’re not supposed to dance at all anymore.“

Let’s all get up and move around a bit right now… or at least dance.
