Important

A girl i know died yesterday in a head on crash. 23 years old, Just had a baby 3 months ago. She was on her way to work after just dropping the baby off at daycare. It was raining really hard yesterday and either her or the other guy lost control.

The other guy survived.

It's been tearing me up thinking about what i would do/ how I'd keep myself together if Alexis died.

So true, next week will be six years since a good friend died on his motorcycle, I just found out one of the guys I had been working with for the last 4 years is his uncle. We were talking about him yesterday and it's weird when you watch a grown man tear up..

well to top off all of my xj fun times today...i had a pretty strange, yet funny thing happen today. im working an event in chicago today for a pharma company that i've worked for in the past. i went to check into my room early this afternoon...but i didn't take my bags up because i didn't feel like it right away. once i got done with work...i drug my crap upstairs only to find some strange man undressing in my hotel room. this company has put me in rooms with other av guys before for events so i asked him "are you steve" he said no..."im craig, craig kaufman"....to which i replied "no...im craig kaufman!" we both had a little moment then he told me that he was supposed to have a room mate and when the hotel said someone had checked into his room, he thought it was his roommate. well the people at the front desk were a little stunned that they had put two people with the same name in the same room...i mean how often do two craig kaufmans wind up in the same hotel lol...it was a little shocking at first, but looking back it would have been a pretty hilarious youtube video...

So sorry to hear about your friend man.
 
Morning started off cold, rainy and muddy and checking cattle sucked, but now that I am at the desk job and found out that one of the other employees is transferring, it made my day so much better. Problem maker since day one, I dont think there are any hurt feelings on this one leaving :D

Followed a yellow Corvette in on the freeway this morning. License plate was "PYRITE".

That shit is rough. A baby doesn't deserve that. Just horrible.

It's been just over ten years since my best friend was killed in a car accident. I still think about him on a regular basis. If the thinking goes too deep, I still get choked up. It may get easier but it still doesn't get easy.
 
We were closer when we were younger. I can't even remember the last time I talked to her. I dont know if the dads around or not. She has kool parents though so I know the baby will be taken care of well by family.
 
Long time since I last posted here... I know you all missed me. Anyways, picked up a rem 870 exp with a mag tube ext and an m4 style stock. (might have to change that last part)
I figured you fellow red-blooded Americans would appreciate that more than the average folk.
