i officially feel like shit.

SINoBYTE 2004-04-30 14:18:43 ET my pal who went to the show w./ me last nite nearly died last nite...and it's VERY much my fault. We had been drinking at the FANG show, but after comming back to my place(for "sobber up time" for him) and him getting into an argument w./ his on/off G/f he wanted to head home 29mi away... He seemed very coherrent and sober and i even offered the pull out couch and even further to drive him home and just crash there... I let him leave... My friend could have been killed. He went off the road going 50-65mph fucked & up his car... Luckily he's alive and didn't have to goto the hospital. His liscence is revoked, and if he drove not any more than 2 ft more to the right he would have hit a gas mane. I feel like shit...but thankful that he's alive.

SINoBYTE 2004-04-30 14:34:49 ET i don't like mistakes... costly ones like this really hurt.

KLINE 2004-04-30 14:49:53 ET true, oh well time

KnockoutMouse 2004-05-01 08:00:17 ET Sometimes people need to learn these lessons on their own. No matter how much we try to help our friends, in the end we can not chose their actions for them. We can counsel and be supportive and reason, but in the end it - this was his choice, his action, not yours and certainly not your fault. Your friend is truly lucky to not even have seen the hospital that night (and even more so because only he was involved). As a the good friend that you are the best you can do is make sure he learns from this experience and I'm sure he'll remember how you tried to help him out in the first place, so maybe he'll be more willing to take your advice from now on.

DevoiD 2004-05-02 10:12:43 ET I can understand that you feel upset, but he made his own descision to go it alone even after being offered alternatives, even one that would have gotten him to his destination. I seriously doubt (given the information I have) that he would be upset with you...why should you be?
