oh, i forgot

so just to let you know, my friend does not have cancer. thank God.
it still sucks, though.
especially since said friend is the healthiest person i know. he even eats organic food.
and I smoked through grad school and was a functional alcoholic.
and all i had was a seizure.
life is unfair, but what else is new.
plus, he lives in germany, so his fancy education was FREE.
so i guess it all evens out, in a weird f-ed up way.
anyway, thanks for your concern.
when i called him, he was drunk watching the opening game of the world cup.
so all is good.
