this chapter has come to an end, this will be the last I post re my buddy. Actually this post is not directly about him....it's about the fragility of life and the ruthlessness of time, there's a mechanical cruelty to every second of the day, no compassion, no mercy, AND "NOBODY" IS SPARED...EVERYBODY HURTS SOMETIME.
I posted the initial submission yesterday 17hrs before BONDACCO'S departure, I never slept more than 20 winks last night and kept looking at my clock, at 6.00am this morning I felt an unfamiliar uneasiness...my buddy had 5hrs remaining here on this earth.
I stared at the time, wide awake with emotions stalled in neutral, knowing that I was stalled because I could do nothing to change the outcome of an inevitable that was yet to happen. Decades of problem solving, heated negotiations, persuasive influencing etc and I'm blank...and time kept moving forward, it was not going to stop and allow me to collect my thoughts.
I posted again 10 minutes before his expiration, 11.00am , and the last post was 10 minutes after 11.00. The entire process was surreal and almost incomprehensible, a process of this nature has a way of making one acutely aware of one's own mortality...and time keeps flowing like a river, time stops for nobody. One minute we're here, the next second we're gone, and a new chapter begins, only the names have changed but the process remains a cruel mystery for those in the next chapter.
What I'm getting at is, it's important to make a long mark on this short life...gone but never forgotten, mortal flesh may dissappear but a legacy is forever. There's only so much time, leave your mark for the world to see, however big your world is, leave your mark...AND NOT IN YOUR FUCKING FAGGOT SHORTS EITHER.

This is the secret to success in history and always has been.
Thinking both about your own life but equally about what is beyond your life on Earth is essential and just not taught anymore.
Organized religion used to fulfill this function but I'm not sure any of the organizations are still true to that goal.

Please, no judgments here. Mel had been in 2 wars and injured serverly twice. Near death type injuries, and he never complained about it. Much later, when he learned he had cancer, he wasn't too cranked about it. He'd seen so much worse. Until it was too late.
I think of Mel fairly frequently, and I second guess my choice of inaction and not bringing him the pistol he requested. It was before this elective suicide/euthanasia thing. He had access to Morphine, lots of it as he was in a veterans hospital hospice ward, all I could do was to tell/ask the nurse to up his morphine dose.
I felt like shit then. Still do and am sad right now considering it. But I do know that I put some positive into his end of life, and I don't think I would have felt any better had I shortened Mel's life and fulfilled his wish. Likely it would have been the reverse. We all die. It was Mel's time. I swing by his grave on occasion. Doesn't make me feel any better.
FUCK. That's all I have. Wishing you well, take a moment to consider the good parts is all I have for you.

Along with your buddy Mel your mark is a lightening bolt gouged into granite and holy fuck, I would carry Mel's water any day as I would yours...I have not seen war but I've fought some serious battles, I had last rites once, almost twice, but I had choices that would've prevented that, you and Mel, had no control over what was going to happen, every second is a razors edge over a strand of hair and your real friends are with you...the true measure of a man is proven when he faces what appears to be an inevitable end...so many people have no clue as to how men like YOU AND MEL are created because they lack principle and moral substance, they're self absorbed in progressive fantasy while totally oblivious to the
virtues of true intellect and worldy wisdom.
Any lesser of a man would crumble if faced with EVERYTHING you and Mel went through...I really appreciate you sharing that experience...
Forever respect brother.
ON A SIDE NOTE...I've completely changed my whole attitude towards war and warfare, I, as did everyone else post WWII, have been fed a ship load of fucking lies from kindergarten to grade 13, media and government is complicit too, the ✡️ has done serious damage to the world beginning with Oliver Cromwell in the mid 1600s, (((they))) are responsible for the majority of wars and conflict and are subverters, I won't fight for a kike, I won't fight for this kiked country, I'm not fighting to save clown world nor would I offer my life to defend this FILTHY SODOMITE prime Minister or any fag whore politician...BUT...my honor and respect to the warrior...I'd stand by you (and Mel) any day.
