A Lesser Mortal: Rebirth

for what it's worth

November 16, 2004

bad thyngs happen to good ppl. it's a given

ive been at it for the last three days now, and i still havent decided which wall would be the best to bash my head in. i took binji's advice and wolfed down icecream, that didnt help... so like, my cousin died the night before eid... he was shot dead right outside his house... in an attempted robbery. what's more tragic is they didnt even take away the bangles and the jewellery they were after. ive been trying to swallow thys news for the last four days, and ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you i havent been able to... my head HAS been reeling, my forehead is now totally creased, and i dont know how to feel or what to thynk. he was 32, married 5 years ago (it was a love marriage typa thyngie), has two BEAUTIFUL daughters aged 3.5 and 1.5... and poof. he is no more. he was the eldest of the eldest... like the eldest of the cousins... and first from our generation to go. we were never really close, like in the past three years we met say... 6 tyms? at family dinners??? but i LOVE his mom and dad... they are by far the nicest, most selfless people and i know, and damn it, they didnt deserve thys. so thys is in the memory of my bro-type, who passed away saturday, november 13, 2004. (shawal 1st, 1425) may Allah bless his soul. amen
