ugh

Most of the time we, as people, are coasting along the surface of life, content in our views, dogmas, families, and friends. Nothing is really that awful and things in general are good. Sometimes reality comes knocking on the door of our state of semi-ignorance induced bliss. This happened to me personally recently.
A friend I've had for a few years slipped and fell and did some significant damage to his head. I heard the news and went to visit him in the hospital.
The best way to describe my experience there is...saddening. This friend is one of those people who are just full of life. They take every opportunity to seize the day
and enjoy the night. He taught me how to drive the canyons, now one of my favorite things to do.
Now he's responsive but not quite there %100. It's painful to see. All I can do is hope with every fiber in my being that he'll make a full recovery.
