life slides by.

today, today. before today i'd never been in a funeral procession. are you supposed to laugh? because we did. we joked about life. we made cracks at the people watching us from their porches. we laughed at the people at the intersections, sitting bewildered and pissed as our 3 mile long funeral procession stopped most of lansing. everyone eager to get home from the office, or to mcdonalds, or the airport, whatever. we laughed really hard at the guy that was so pissed, he decided to cut right through us all, who immediately got pulled over by a cop on a harley, and was bitched out so loudly, we almost peed. i was fine until the 21 gun salute and that lonely trumpet that they play at military funerals. then i was struck with the biggest emptiness of my life. surrounded by friends, i've never felt more disconnected than i did and still do right now. this album almost killed me today. and then it saved my life.
