friend of mine

[bentech]

died recently

he was a friend to a whole lot of people
and the stories have pour out

he remind me of someone

a mutual acquaintance got him hooked into minerals
and he started caving and exploring old mines

done tones of that myself
scary shit

this once
as the story goes

hes walking cross a plank
hundreds of feel underground mind you
and it gives
he catches himselfby the arm on the next plank

fell 5 feet and saved by the crotch of his elbow

pulls himself back and up
walks 20

sits down

mind you
this is a man whos stretched his neck out over and over

he says

"thats the closest i ever come to buying it...

[and thats saying alot]

if i get hurt bad or die down here
dont tell nobody
just leave me"


he spent weeks down in some of those old mines

and here i though i was the bad ass

Count us all blessed deftly survive catastrophic circumstances.

Number of times we faced death and by reflex or just pure circumstance barely avoided death.

We all do amazing things in life.

We each have to face our end.

If it's that time Kurt Russell comes after you. Maybe you don't see it coming.

Sometimes reflex ain't enough.

Wrestling motorcycle across a 6 lane interstate highway was angels.

Wasn't your time to go.

We all must meet the reaper in our own way no matter what we have to say about it.

The Bible says its better to go to a funeral than to a party.

Why? I had a girlfriend she scorned me for saying that and sneered so I didn't say anything and left her to her own institutions.

A funeral forces you to ponder your own mortality.

Not to take anything away but to add to.

I found my neighbor halfway out his front door pants half way up purple and cold. Dead trying to get his pants on and out the door?
