There needs to be more of this.

What I love is how it forces you to think of what the equivalent density and quantity of shit would be for each example.

Much more delicate than what they use in this video:

Facebook

Facebook has been good for becoming reacquainted with people I was friends with in HS. It's been mild, it's interesting to see how some people's personality are still recognizable.

One friend from HS was murdered in Boston in 1996. One of these friends posted a video he was in where he was being goofy and gay and sweet and it really hit me, more than in other situations, how that could have been me and what it would have been like to be chased by a crazy guy with a shotgun after seeing him blow someone else's head off.

I guess the reality is that life is painful, brutal, and short, and anything we get beyond that is a gift.
