Ma'a Salaam

My dear friend died last week. He was 24. I wasn't going to say anything. Everything I write seems stupid and crass.

I learned a lot from this experience, but we've heard it all before. Love. Enjoy life. Don't be afraid.

I've thought about a few things I want to do in life. It's mostly a silly list. I'm just tired of holding back for lousy reasons.

*See America with my friends.
*See the world with my friends.
*Ride an ostrich.
*Poop in the woods.
*Film an episode of Ghetto Home Fabulous.
*Ride a motor scooter across Nebraska.
*Learn a love song on the guitar and play it for someone.
*Have a job that makes me happy.
*Help people.

I'm going to go run errands now - transfer some money, send some e-mails, buy a plane ticket :)
