The Life and Times of an Authentic Dork

I have no idea how to even start this. My cheeks have hardly been dry since I heard the news yesterday around 1pm. On their way to Orlando, my aunt, cousins and uncle were involved in a car accident. An 18-wheeler tried to cut them off (my aunt was driving) and they were pushed off the road. By the time my aunt realized that she was off the road, the car went tumbling sideways and flipped over 3 times. My Tia Rosa was injured, Rony was thrown out of the car, and Alfredito was bruised up and cut, but no large injuries at all.

My Tio Alfredo, on the other hand, didn't make it. I still can't believe it and my tears don't stop as I type this. My Tio Alfredo. My other dad. The one so full of life and love and happiness. The crazy uncle that just wouldn't grow up. He died. He was pronounced dead at the crash site.

We are all so heartbroken. All his 10 brothers are mourning. All the wives are mourning. All of Tio Alfredo's newphews and nieces are mourning. We will all miss him so much. It's incredible what God throws at you sometimes. It's just so unbeliveable that he's gone. The wake and funeral are either tonight or tomorrow. We don't know yet. If you want to know, call or text me. I'll have my phone. His body is up in Charlotte County. His body...I don't know...

The wake and funeral will be so hard for all of us. My heart hurts to see my Tia Rosa, Alfredito, Rony, and Cindy feel so empty without him. I don't want to see them so distraught like this. And I know we're supposed to be strong for them, so that they have support, but we feel so empty without him too. He was our uncle, brother, friend, father...he was El Bul...we're gonna miss him so much.

Please...if you pray, pray for our family, especially his wife and kids...they are like my brothers, sister, and mom to me. Please keep us in your thoughts.

I love you, Tio Alfredo, and I will miss you so much. Words can't even describe how much I'm crying right now, or how I feel. HOw everyone feels. We will miss you a lot.

You know what really pisses me off? People who have nothing better to do with their lives than dig into other people's lives and talk nonsense.

Do you know what purpose gossip serves? To keep those with the mentality of cardboard entertained. Gossip is for ignoble minds to grind on, like cows inadvertently chewing cud.

Is your life so prosaic that you have to delve into others' to have some sort of excitement? Well, sir, you can take your self-righteous standards and shove them straight up your anus. RIGHT up there.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, my journal shall henceforth be FRIENDS ONLY.

If it weren't for the fact that people in my church are stupid retarded idiots that can't keep their noses out of other people's business and NOT point fingers when they themselves are fuck-ups, I wouldn't be doing this.

BUT, as of now, it is friends only.

Leave a comment and I'll friend you. ^_^
