Onions are people too!!!

I am just like an onion, I have many different layers. The only way you will really get to know the core of me is to peal back some layers and get to know me as a whole.

top layer... I am just quiet guy (only at this layer) who is pushing his way through life. I sell shoes for a living and I am a creature of habit.

middle layer... I can seem a little wacky at times. I dance and sing at random times. I am strong minded and make my point of view known.

bottom layer... I am a big dork who would rather be spending his time watching cartoons instead of sports. I have been known to listen to talk radio. I play video games. I don't enjoy large crowds. I rather stay at home than go anywhere (almost).

at the center... In the deepest parts of who I am I just love God. I want nothing more than to serve him and my fellow man (i just don't always know what that looks like).

Today (kinda yesterday because it's 1:42 am now) I got some horrible news. Someone I never met before in california died today. His name is David. He was 28 had a wife named jamie, a son that is 12 named curtis, and a 2 year old named Dj. I have known David for 2 and a half years now. I met him on xbox (this is that bottom layer part) awhile ago now in a time when I didn't have many friends. David and another guy named Jose filled that void for me. Our relationship wasn't just owing noobs or killing computers generated players together; we would call each other and talk about our personal life. (like: work, wife/ girlfriends, money problems, family problems, about our favorite things... basically everything). We spent a good amount of time on xbox not even playing any games but just talking through our trouble. Back in march David told he had found out he had liver cancer. Well things went down hill fast and 4 months later here we are. David was a lot of different things to a lot of different people but even from a 1000 miles away he was a great friend if even for just a short time. I know I sound like a big nerd right now and I'm ok with that. I'm just sad that I don't have my friend anymore.

Prayer.... Thank you father for filling voids. Thanks for a friend I never had to meet in order to be friends. Keep David's family close in this hard time. Protect and watch over them in this great time of need for them. I'm glad you are God and I am not because I could never make sense of this world... thanks
