<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;...but  I held my friend of thirteen years in my arms today, and watched her die.  I can't help but feel like an asshole for &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;/title/putting+down&quot;&gt;killing&lt;/a&gt;&quot; my cat, but life has a way of inviting you in (&lt;a href=&quot;/title/quite+seductively&quot;&gt;quite seductively&lt;/a&gt;)
 for a &lt;i&gt;hot&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;steamy&lt;/i&gt; bowl of &lt;a href=&quot;/title/cream-of-go-fuck-yourself-soup&quot;&gt;cream-of-go-fuck-yourself-soup&lt;/a&gt; just when you least expect it.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So forgive me if I say things a little crazy...&lt;small&gt;   It's only because I didn't know what else to say... &lt;small&gt;And something is better than nothing... &lt;/small&gt;right?&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<content type="html">&lt;p&gt;It was &lt;a href=&quot;/title/Saturday%252C+April+26%252C+2003&quot;&gt;Saturday, April 26, 2003&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;/title/Colorado&quot;&gt;Colorado&lt;/a&gt; raised, Aron Ralston, began a &lt;a href=&quot;/title/biking&quot;&gt;biking&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href=&quot;/title/hiking&quot;&gt;hiking&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href=&quot;/title/rappelling&quot;&gt;rappelling&lt;/a&gt; expedition through &lt;a href=&quot;/title/Canyonlands+National+Park&quot;&gt;Canyonlands National Park&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;/title/Utah&quot;&gt;Utah&lt;/a&gt;. His route would take him thirty miles through the &lt;a href=&quot;/title/Blue+John+Canyon&quot;&gt;Blue John&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;/title/Horseshoe+Canyon&quot;&gt;Horseshoe Canyon&lt;/a&gt;s. It would take him five days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This is the one of the most &lt;a href=&quot;/title/truly+badass&quot;&gt;badass&lt;/a&gt; stories ever heard. Aron, 27 at the time, took a spur of the moment trip to the wilderness. Along his way he had to scale mutiple cliffs and ledges. While dangling from one of the ledges, he loosened an 800 pound rock that fell on him and pinned his right hand against the canyon wall.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After being trapped for five days, drinking his own &lt;a href=&quot;/title/urine&quot;&gt;urine&lt;/a&gt; to survive, and braving the harsh physical and psychological tortures of impending death, Aron decided to become the hardcoremost person he could. Not only did he make a &lt;a href=&quot;/title/tourniquet&quot;&gt;tourniquet&lt;/a&gt; and cut off his arm, he also had to snap his &lt;a href=&quot;/title/radius&quot;&gt;radius&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;/title/ulna&quot;&gt;ulna&lt;/a&gt; because his pocket knife wouldn't cut through them.

&lt;p&gt;
I cough and the strings of my guitar chime with it.
I turn the television on to watch the &lt;a href=&quot;/title/war&quot;&gt;weather&lt;/a&gt;.
I own &lt;a href=&quot;/title/Incognito&quot;&gt;the cd that is playing&lt;/a&gt; to the local forecast.
The television chimes like I forecast a cough.
I think a &lt;a href=&quot;/title/rain&quot;&gt;future&lt;/a&gt;, like &lt;a href=&quot;/title/snow&quot;&gt;the band&lt;/a&gt;, all
the band playing to the local weather I think &lt;a href=&quot;/title/antibiotics&quot;&gt;I'm on&lt;/a&gt;.
The guitar strings and I turn to watch my own future,
the cd that is with all of it.
