*Sigh* He was gunned down in his car outside of his friend's home on friday morning..two days shy of his 20th birthday. It's a tragedy that he was so young and that he died in such a violent manner! I knew this guy and he was a very nice person and I just spoke to him the week before. Sometimes (shoot, who am I kidding.. most of the time), you would never think that when you speak to someone, it could very well be the last time you do. So, when one of my other co-workers called me to infom me of his death, I was stunned. I can only imagine how his friends (with whom he just came from the club that morning) took the news.

Things like this really does remind one of his/her own mortality as well. I know of the saying, "Live everyday as if it's your last" . But, we as people never really do live day to day thinking that it could be our last. Usually it's the last thing we think about until something tragic happens and it hits close to home. Only then, do we realize that everyday we've been given is indeed a blessing and tomorrow is not guranteed.

May your soul rest in peace, Raymond.

Seriously, this song "Hideaway" by Tessane Chynn is awesome. Her vocals are amazing and this song has a nice combination of rock and reggae. When I first heard it, I was hooked! It reminds me of this guy I like and listening to this song makes me want him more. I know it's pathetic but that's the way it is....for now. Okay back to the subject, you guys gotta listen to this song!

Here's the link to the video.
