wormhole

Just for fun, let's take a trip back in time to THIS.

Why does it still make me laugh?

Andrew Olmstead

Andrew Olmstead, a US soldier and blogger, was killed in action yesterday.  Here is an excerpt from his final blog entry, written just in case he didn't make it back home:

I'm dead. That sucks, at least for me and my family and friends. But all the tears in the world aren't going to bring me back, so I would prefer that people remember the good things about me rather than mourning my loss. (If it turns out a specific number of tears will, in fact, bring me back to life, then by all means, break out the onions.)

It's a devastating read, but an almost necessary one.
