I dono if cmonkey remembers him, but there was a kid by the name of Matt Bowe who was in our graduating class. Recently I got a call from a friend saying that he had gone over to Iraq and was recently killed when his humvee ran over a roadside bomb.
After seeing someone, who grew up in the ghetto of Moon Township, who worked his butt off trying to become a doctor from having no money "in order to make his kids' life better than his, so they have more opportunities", and then DIE for it....well...it was a bit of a wakeup for me.
Go though life working towards something with all of your heart, and put in the best day that you can. Don't succumb to laziness and try to coast through, otherwise you'll be in for a rude awakening. Give anything that stands in your way the Neville Island Double-Down™ (lmao don't ask) and blast through it.
