Cherishing Others (#1?)

So I was inpired to make a video thanking one of my many good friends for being awesome.

It always seems when someone loses a friend or loved one, they regret not having said to them how much they care.

So hopefully this is a new trend for me.... once a month... making a video about someone (or some people) that I want to know how much they mean to me.

Jacki, this month is for you!

Hopefully others will be inspired to do the same.

I know it's a bit of an aside, but i've never been a fan of the term 'passed away'. I had a friend who was murdered trying to break up a fight, and i felt disingenuous saying 'he passed away' when i was thinking 'he got fucking stabbed!'...

For me, saying 'passed away' makes it easier for me to cope with. In all honesty... i don't deal with death super well.

Personally, i like to remind myself of horrible things. When i eat meat, i'll often say aloud, "ahh, the flesh of the lesser beasts" just to remind myself that i'm eating something with eyes and a brain. I guess it's not about 'dealing with it' so much as it's about 'facing it,'looking nasty things in the face and declaring, "I know thee well, and thou shalt not claim my thoughts nor words!" But i'm theatrical

I'm getting that feeling. lol

Well, next time I eat meat I think I'll try saying aloud "ahh, the flesh of lesser beasts"

I'm actually curious what kind of reaction I'd get. lol
