happy departure day to the dead stranger on the highway...

[Tee]

...it will be remembered, young man...... I'll never forget your legs and your sneakers....

 

[Captain Beard]

Do explain to me what you mean? I am a most curious beast.

 

[Tee]

a man got hit by a car on the highway yesterday. 5 mins before we passed by. the driver was sitting on the fence holding his head, in shock, and a police officer was showing us to go by .... slowly.... and that man was there, in front of the car, lying like a sack of potatoes.... legs in one direction, arms in another.... life is a gift? like a candy for a child. you get a promise that you'll get a bag full of sweets, then they get taken away from you.... chances three.... for some not even chances two, to reach that level...

she means that going while driving on the highway yesterday we saw a dead man, young, lying in front of a car like a sack of potatoes. he was in whole, but the parts of his body were in totally oppsite directions. the man was dead.

 

[metalized]

and his travelling bag with his staff scattered all arround. and the sneakers somewhere there.

 

[metalized]

uhm... she xplained already.

 

[Captain Beard]

Yes, I see. Hmm, life is a fragile thing, yes. Though I've been so oddly fortunate somethimes I wonder if I am even mortal, I am reminded I am by the fact I can still feel emotions for human suffering. I wish this stranger well, and perhaps next time he can have better luck. (I'm an atheist who believes in reincarnation, long story.)

 

[Captain Beard]

And a hello on the realization of your return, good sir.

And a hello on the realization of your return, good sir.

thx.
as far as the "oddly fortunate" is concerned, i only will say that it is not that oddly as i c it. I don't believe in coinscidence. (one more long story).

 

[Captain Beard]

So perhaps I am destined to actually do what I aspire? When I say fortunate, I mean others would never:

1. Get away with it.
2. Accomplish even CLOSE to what I did...

 

[metalized]

destined is a nice word requiriing lotsa discussion deppending on the definition one might give to it (like all the other words) , but yes.
1. maybe they would.
2. hmmm... well i can't know what u accomplished. but maybe others will never get the chance to even try.

did u c "The Others" btw?

 

[Tee]

I'm not even in a condition to talk about anything, so you'll have to excuse me. I know I'll be sorely missed... LOL

He will miss the last train home this day...

It's strange how it can really get to you to see a person has died, although you didn't know him or her at all. I saw an article in the paper once, about a girl who was murdered, and it had a picture of that girl. It was a pretty young blonde girl, aged about 17 or so. And suddenly, I can't explain why, I felt so enormously sorry for that poor girl in the picture. I wanted to say to her: "I don't know who you were, or what kind of person you were, but I'm so sorry for what happened to you. I wish that somehow, I could make it all better."

It's strange. I've seen many more articles about dead people, but for some reason, that picture really got to me. I don't know why. Sometimes the cause can be something so trivial. It's like Tee says: "I'll never forget your legs and your sneakers."

 

[Tee]

Tee says: 'life is a lolly-pop, suckle until it melts. the stick is not digestable anyway.'

and it's different to see a picture of somebody dead, and another thing to see a body waiting to get a bag, limbs pointing at 4 sides of the world. and it was a he until a few minutes ago... nevermind, we come and go every day...

 

[a guy...]

It just overwhelming when you think about all the people that die every day. Sometimes I wonder why I'm still allowed to go on.

 

[Tee]

that's your path. but you never know what's waiting for you behind the next corner.... so, enjoy...

this lolly avatar of yours...

 

[neal]

well now im fucking depressed.
-neal

 

[Tee]

hmm... smoked too much? smoked too little?
way too much hissing in your posts, neal. first you got piSSed, in the NVRMR/IE, now depreSSed. LOL

and however, this is life. life is just as good as one can make it (see it as such) for him/herself. normally it's just a pile of problems and obstacles.

 

[neal]

dont think ive gotten truely pissed in the nvrmr/ie thread. that thread is all about fun and laughing and making fun of jon schaffer...but yeh. death is a sad thing becuase im afraid this is all we get. nothing before and nothing after. BOOM along came a car and that dude lost everything he had and everything he was ever going to have. it sucks.
