WTF?!

Seriously, what the fuck? Ryan Thomas was an LSE major here at HSU. He died over the weekend playing basketball. He was playing and just died. I had a creative writing class with him. I didn't know him. He was a skater type, too cool for me to approach, and a good writer. Now he is dead, gone. I've never really encountered a death like this. All the people I know who've died have struggled with a long term illness. But a sudden death is odd. The last one I knew like this was Levi, my first grade crush. He died in a car accident when he was speeding. While saddened by his deaht, I hadn't seen Levi in years. And honestly, he was a local "red neck" cowboy type. I just figured he would end up like the others I know; drunk driving, being a local badass, then dying. There are deaths like that every year in Hick County. But Ryan was almost finished with his degree and supposedly he will receive a post-humes degree. But fuck, its just mind blowing. He wasn't doing that retarded, masculine shit when he died. He was just playing basketball. I feel somewhat sad, the way you do when anyone dies. But this just shocks me. I don't understand it, and I don't know what to say. I just feel stunned. This shit isn't supposed to happen.
