making a mountain out of air

this is my friend nate. that is his car in the background.

to those of you who met nate, yes, he is fine -- at least from what i've read of him -- and yes, he's all right from the accident, too. (just thought i'd give my boy some mad props.) shock, yo. i've never been that close to someone being lost in that instant. and what was the last thing i said to nate? "i'll see you soon."

it makes me feel kind of selfish that for a little bit, i've wanted to just stay here in berkeley and not go back to the super-saccharine, under-the-top vibe of anaheim hills, but jesus, if this shit happens, then i don't know what. i don't even know where to begin. you see, nate's one of those friends who, if the two of you were in a bar, you'd pay for his bill, but he already would have skillfully paid for it before anyone knew.

i know it sounds somewhat irrelevant now, but i owe the guy twenty bucks, and that's twenty bucks i don't want to have if he would have died. and i know it sounds a little weird if you're reading this, dude, but that scared the shit out of me and i'll send you your twenty bucks as soon as i get paid. (note: that twenty bucks is legendary. it goes back to freshman year of high school, when the cingular store in the plaza across from the high school was still a boston market. (we'll get back to that some other time.))

nate's one of my best friends, and is one of the handful of people who know me better than i do myself.

and i am so happy he's all right.

and ok, this is kinda inappropriate, but check out his superpowers. look what he did to the truck that caused the accident.

this is why i'm very happy that nate is alive.

i hope everything's fine, nate. holla back.
