This past week i've lost a friend to a motorcycle accident. He was far too young and too much of a great person to have lost so early. He lived life to the fullest; being a 5'5" 135lbs professional mma fighter, motorcycle rider, very talented musician, excellent tradesman, and a great friend to everyone he met. He loved his mentally challenged dog buford; and loved his girlfriend with all his heart, even when they weren't getting along.

The point of this blog is to make you sit back and look at all your friends and think about how they've influenced your life. I never thought about how he's changed the way i am at work and at home; and now that he's gone its all i can do.

So, please, everybody; take a moment to look at your friends, family and loved ones and think about what life would be like without them. Think about how your life would change. Think about how upset you would be if they passed away. Then tell them you love them, are thankful you met them, and tell them they've changed your life.

Appreciate every moment with everyone you know. As my friend Mo said today at the funeral: "you know young man, we are all just guests here; we have to make the best of the time we have."

I would like to thank all my friends who supported me when i was feeling down. You guys are why i'm still here. I love you. Thank you. To the Kinetic Boys: i'm sorry your fearless leader has been unable to even speak for the past few days. Everytime i walk past the mtce shop my throat tightens up and tears form. Thank you for being as strong as you all are.

To Justin's Family and friends: I'm absolutely staggered by what has happened this month; and am very sorry for your loss. He will be missed by everyone who was lucky enough to have met him.
