    Wonder if Josh Hamilton's downward spiral will begin because champaign accidentally touches his tongue? Prediction...He will be mainlining heroin in about 37 minutes while Ron Washington snorts coke out of a catchers mask.

        Can't believe it's (almost) been five years.

        Woke up on a Thursday morning five years ago. We didn't have school so it was about 9:15 or so when I woke up...saw a few people on my buddy list with "RIP SM + MM," and ask someone what it's for. I then proceed to be informed that the two girls pictured in my avatar, Shauna and Meg, sisters, had died in a car accident and a third girl was in critical condition in the ICU. Shauna had been in my grade and we had a few classes together, we weren't friends or anything but we knew each other. Meg, her younger sister, I had actually just driven home from school with a friend that Wednesday. Knew her friend more, but damn were they two of the nicest ****ing people you would ever meet. Always friendly, always smiling, always making the people around them seem happy at a stage in their lives when most people hate each other with their hormones raging and ****.

        It hit the school hard. Real hard. They opened the school up that Thursday and a few teachers took the time to drive in and allow students to come in, be together in the classrooms and all of that. It spanned the grade barrier, it broke down every single "clique" and everyone was there for each other. A lot of people showed, and most of them then filled a church to attend a remembrance (non-demoninational and all that ****). I rarely cry, and not even in the "macho" sense...I get emotional at times but rarely do I cry. I have still never cried as much as I did when I saw Shauna's three best friends - they were like sisters - come in crying hysterically.

        ****ing....time flies, man. Life goes by way too quickly.

          Always a heartbreaking story, Greg. I recall it every year around this time.

          Such a shame.

            That's a sad friggin' story dude. And yes, too many lives are cut short all over...nothing depresses me like when people don't realize their potential.

              I try and tell it a different way/add different details/thoughts each year as they come to me or I remember them so it doesn't get too redundant to you guys. I'm very tempted to wake up extra early tomorrow to head past the site before work tomorrow.

              Yeah, man. Shauna was going to be going to Villanova, both were incredible athletes - soccer and track, our schools' two best sports - and both had awesome personalities. Sucks that they didn't get to live their lives.

                  What is Mike Rowe doing on CNN?

                  I guess rescuing miners is sort of a dirty job...

                    Sad story. RIP. I think I remember seeing that picture in your avatar last year and wondering what it was about. I imagine you posted the version of the story in the supporters forum then so I didn't see it.

                      My day:

                      Got to school late, had to park near a ditch
                      found out I got a zero on my physics lab for not following 1 step in the instruction right
                      english teacher says I need to totally restructure my research paper (I have a 105 in there, i think I know what i'm doing, k? k.)
                      decided to quit the rest of the day
                      at practice it begins to monsoon
                      My truck was stuck by a ditch
                      When I tried to pull out the ground gave way
                      Truck fell in
                      Pretty much had to floor it to get out
                      lotta water got in my engine (luckily, most of it was drained out)
                      got home, started senior project. (~6:30)
                      Just finished at 11:10
                      Checked facebook, teacher's daughter posts something about the changes in the way she wants the paper she written

                      And may thy spirit live in us, Forever LSU
