AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!!!!

So I'm a podcast junkie, right? Anything documentary-ish is my thing, really. Well, one of my favorite podcasts is The Moth, a theme-based, true life, story-telling-without-notes show in NYC. All of the stories I've heard have been incredibly engaging, whether funny or heartbreaking. Usually they're a bit of both, as life often is.

The other day I listened to the story of Barry Gibb, a mail carrier in New York, who enjoyed his job, hung out with his buddies...just a regular guy. His life changed drastically 20 years ago when he found himself framed for murder.

It turns out, the arresting cop Louis J. Eppolito, was dirty.

Whew!

So I came close to losing a friend's trust yesterday -which really means I came close to losing a friend, period. Everything seems to have worked out, but I'm still freaked about the whole situation. There wouldn't have been anyone to blame, either...just one of those freakish misunderstandings, for lack of a better term.

It's events like these that really do make me wonder if someone "up there" just f-cks with people sometimes.


Life Lesson: Friends are worth the scary stuff. Don't run from trouble...unless you see a naked man sprinting all-out in public. Follow him. Ask questions later.
