On Monday, October 27, 2008 I got news that at a friend of mine had committed Suicide. Its been a rough couple of days but we seem to be moving forward. Its sad to think I won't see him day to day. He is now number 6 in the string of deaths that I've had to wade through in the last 3 years. I hate that this keeps popping up like this. I'm hopeful that it'll end... R.I.P my Friend, goodbye Pirate.

in other news I'm currently sick. Been sick since Sunday and have been hacking up things from my throat and its not helpful. I have relieved a bit of stress of my week by asking a teacher to let me take my exam later, I originally had two for tomorrow. Now I can get a breather and study one at a time rather then having double the cram sessions.

Life shall continue on... just in a slower pace.

I did write a poem for my friend, we called him Pirate... He was a rather interesting guy to be around. I'm not sure how to post poems here so I'm just adding it to this journal.

You left us so suddenly
    without a word of goodbye
You left us so quietly
    as if you wanted to hide
Our love for you was so great
    if only it had been greater
You left us
    and all we can do is cry

We hope you no longer hold pain
    that you are finally free
We hope you can hear us
    as you journey on
I'm sorry my friend
    that life lead to this end
We hope
    you know that we still care
