Just yesterday I found out that a good friend of mine who was the drummer in my band died suddenly Thurs. night of a bloodclot in his lungs. He was only in his mid-thirties and while he wasn't in the best of shape its hard to expect something like this happening. His family called me and I've been contacting the rest of the band and other friends to let them know. On top of that I've been out in San Francisco on a business trip and won't get home until tomorrow. The past few days have been really rough for me having to deal with a fairly stressful trip, finding out that my house was robbed and now a friend dying. Thankfully though I've been talking to another good friend of mine here in SF who has been helping me deal with this and trying to get my work done helps to take my mind off of things. I still feel in shock about this and broke down for awhile the other day when I found out about his death. I'm worried that things will really hit me when I get home and realize that I'm never going to see him again playing with us, or hear him griping about whiny rock over beers. I don't know if my band will even go on after this...
a quick question I'm trying to post a picture of him from our myspace page but when I post the URL for the pic from myspace it just shows a link. Is there a way to post the pic?
Man, sorry to hear that. I know how you feel. I was chillin' out with some friends at a hookah bar a few years ago, and then one of them went out and got himself killed in a motorcycle accident not 12 hours later (totally his fault, he was doing tricks without a helmet). I just sat there thinking to myself that this felt like some kinda bad joke. That there's no way I was talking and laughing with this dude just 12 hours ago, and that I never could again. It took a good week for it to seem real. Honestly, it's been years now, and I'm still weirded out by the suddenness of it.
Maybe because you have to be logged in to view myspace pics? You could just upload the pic to imageshack.
What a week. Really sorry to hear that. Especially tough to deal w/ when you're on the road. Good luck to you. As for posting a pic: Right click on the picture you want to post, 'copy image location'. Use the 'insert image function' (next to the 'bullet's' function right above the text box) and paste the url when it asks for it. Dunno if you already tried that, sorry if it was 'noobish'.
My brother's best friend died back in 2006. He was alright at first since he was busy calling all his friends so they could show up for the funeral. Once that was dealt with, it hit him very hard. I think it took me a few months before I could think of the guy without tearing up a bit. It hurts like hell at first, but just try to celebrate his life at much as possible. Good luck.
Very sorry to hear about your friend, SC. It's been a tough week on you. Whether things happen for a reason or not, they always get better.
Your father was a rounder and he played that rock and roll a leaper and a bounder down to his gypsy soul they're walkin' slow in houston speechless in DC there's no way i could tell you what he meant to me. ------ i'm genuinely sorry to hear this, SC.
^ Thanks guys. I really appreciate that. His funeral is monday and I'm flying out late tonight to go home. Later on today I'm meeting another friend from Minnesota who has moved to CA who used to be in the band before I flyout.
That is certainly a huge blow. It seems like when it rains it pours. Sorry to hear about your loss. I'm sure it will be hard. My prayers and thoughts will be with you.
