Anybody here been through a serious tragedy?

[ReUp]

My brother went to rehab for his coke addiction when I was 15 or 16 I cant remember and embraced AA to its fullest. Sadly, he no longer is the same man I knew before his addiction and I never talk to him anymore. He used to be my best friend and now he lives 5 minutes away from me and I avoid him because hes so ridiculous with his spirituality/recovery.

420 youre damn sure right about the parents...LOL..thats exactly what my mom said, and now that you mention it your generation will probably say the same..LOL. Times have changed dratically though from the old school days for me. Man when i was really bangin at about 13 if you had a fight with someone, you beat them down, and the next day you were playing football friends again. Nowdays everybody wants to kill everybody and everybody needs a gun. Hell if were gonna have folks running around with guns robbing people and whatnot let just give everybody one and even out the playing field. Im sure if a lot of the people out here doing dirt knew that the person they were going to rob was armed, maybe they would think twice. Then again, maybe not. What happened to the days of just giving somebody a good old fashioned ass kickin by using your fists. These new schoolers are taking the fun out of the shit for us old schoolers...LOL:jointsmile: :jointsmile:

I remember there was a town out in Utah that required everyone to own a firearm by law and their crime rate dropped alot. I don't know the exact figures but the crime rate definetly dropped a notable amount after that law was passed.

I basically put the love of my life (at the time) in jail, and haven't seen or spoken to him since. That's only a small tragedy though.

Dude, man...i am like totally lost for words..man fire is like one of my worst fears ever. what the fuck happened? I guess the most important question would be how are you doing now? (i am really sitting here looking stunned..)

[trynagethigh]

[trynagethigh]

Man crispi,

I cant tell you how many fuel pumps i have put in dude, i worked for chevy for almost 12 years, and i never even thought about that kind of thing happening. I remember quite a few fires (none my fault..LOL) and believe me i was the first one out the door. Man and just last night i was watching most amazing videos and there was a guy filling a gas can i beleieve in the back of his truck and static electricity set the whole thing on fire and burning him pretty badly. Do you have memory of everything happening, because i know i have blank spots in my memory now where there are points where i cant remember some things. i know i had no recollection of time or date when the cops released me three days later, and even when i walked out their front door i had no idea where i was.

Man after going through all of that i know i would have quit smoking anything and matches and lighters and shit would not exist in my house...in fact i would probably move to alaska and live in a friggin igloo...LOL. My thing with fire is that shits gotta be respected big time. I can remember coming home one evening and as im driving down the block there a house thats on fire and i mean it was going good. The heat was so intense i was across the street and literally had to put my hands in front of my face. I just cant imagine being on fire..man you have really blown me away with this one cuz, and im glad youre still here dude. You will most definitely be in my prayers my friend.
