How I came to drive the short bus to hell.
Goddammit. Why am I so evil? I fuckin’ amaze myself sometimes on just how truly bad and twisted I can be deep down in the depths of my dark and rotten soul. Sure, I don’t do the really evil deeds like Ted Kaczynski or John Ashcroft, but I can be so wicked in the head.
I woke up this morning all bleary eyed adn cranky from the soul-sucking blinding light of a post-holiday Monday, and I turned on the news to help me wake up, which is what I always do, and the top story was about some poor sap who drowned over the weekend after jumping off a cliff at Bend Pace Park on Lake Travis. Really, it’s sad to hear those things, but part of me…the really mean, evil, cranky sleepy-head part, couldn’t help but think: “Stupid frat boy jumping off a cliff! Jeez Louise! What possesses people to do stupid shit that can knock their ass out like that? For the love of god, Dude, I hate to think that your last moments on earth were as a kegger drunk who dove down 50 feet headfirst so that you could prove to your friends that you had a penis. Congrats, you’re one dead fucker.” To my credit, I don’t really think anyone deserves death like that, but I find it frustrating to hear of people, especially young people, dying after doing something stupid and dangerous, and I can’t help but think of this whole Darwinian analogy and it makes me fucking laugh. I shrugged off that poor man’s death with a “tsk tsk”…“oh well”…“such a shame”…“na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.”
Then I get to the office and find out that the “stupid frat boy” was my coworker.
Shit.
Shit shit shit shit shit!
Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit!!!!
For the record, Adam Prinz wasn’t a stupid frat boy. He was quite smart and a super nice guy.
And I am such a fucking asshole.

Out of respect for those of us who knew and loved Adam, and did not just know him in passing, do you think it’s time to take this off the internet? I get the point you’re making here, but it’s not the kind of thing those of us who really knew him and cared about him want to read after all this time…this is the kind of thing you say to a friend, etc, but don’t write it on the internet for all to see.
