The one where I needed a little more wine

Fri, Jul 04 2008 by Vanessa.

Last night we had dinner with a good friend and he casually mentioned the recent addition of a Cancerous tumor to the side of his head. I took an extra sip of wine upon hearing this news. How does this happen? Why do such good people have to endure such horrifying events? He’s a good guy. He works REALLY REALLY hard with a bunch of morons that test his patience each day. His family could replace the Keaton’s on Family Ties with their all-Americaness. So why him? Why did a Cancerous tumor decide to develop, within the course of a month, on the side of his head? It just doesn’t seem fair.

However, I have to admit, last night’s news adds more fuel to my Section 2 fire. You just never know when it’s going to be your turn to endure an extremely difficult life-challenge. A car wreck could end it all in a split second. Why waste your life away, arguing with people who refuse to accept logic? Why spend so much time confined by a job that is not fulfilling, is not challenging and is just not something you could ever imagine having a passion for? Why waste time feeling sorry for yourself? It’s time to get out there and experience life, experience this world and know that when my end comes I will have lived a life that I feel has value and meaning. I love Section 2!!!
