DOUG USELTON.

Doug Uselton died today. There's no other way to say it. I'd never dealt with death before. I've spoken to him, yet not nearly as much as I should have, which just makes it worse. There is so much regret, mourning, GUILT, as I feel thankful my family is alive, and I feel so selfish, and then everything just translates into tears. I cried for three hours straight; it feels as if it's the only way to compensate for not getting to know him. We found out during the Fullerton S&D Tournament. To think, we were complaining about staying until seven; yet, because of the news, we left at 3. I would have stayed til next year if it prevented this. It was death upon impact. I prayed for you. I'm putting this up because I'm afraid I'll forget him, and I want his name to be embedded within the internet.
And it really gets me furious that people are posting up some Facebook statuses about him. Does it really bring about some sort of satisfaction when you see your deep words on a fucking computer screen? Say it to him in your prayers, don't post it on the internet. Show a bit of respect. Seeing all the "thumbs ups" and "likes" on statuses that have to do with his death makes me sick. We were told to not spread this around using electronics. I guess I'm doing it now, but this is more of a note to myself than to be read by anyone else.
People aren't afraid of death; people are afraid of being erased. I know it sounds corny but I've never understood this until now: if you never forget them, they're not truly gone. And people say "my heart goes out to the family." What do phrases like this even really do? They sound nice and all, but do they hold any meaning? Ive heard so many words today, saying honor or that if we need help to "get by." I don't need to talk to anyone I just, I don't even know. I can't put anything into words right now.
The thing about this is that whenever this happens in a story or movie, it's always "the brightest kid i ever knew." I always thought "Of course, hes the brightest one. It's never the person everyone hates." But Doug Uselton was honestly the most real person I knew. He just wasn't afraid to be himself, and he was just so upright and bright and .. I cried not because we were best friends, but because he was so young. He really did have an amazing future ahead of him. And it kills me to have to write in past tense. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.
RIP 12/18/2010 Doug Uselton.
