I went to bed at 7:00am today after work, expecting to start enjoying my time off for Christmas. That was until I was woken up around noon by a friend's phone call.

"Hey man, sorry to wake you up, but I thought you should know..."
What's up?
" was found dead in his apartment..."
Dude, that is not a decent joke...
"I wish I was kidding, but really is dead. The word hasn't spread at all since it just happened, but I thought you should know since I knew you two were like best friends..."
What the hell happened?
"I don't know. I just know that his mother got a call from the police and was told to head out there right away. (Their mom's worked in the same place)"
...

So yeah. Woke up, and found out one of my closest friends has died, and I have no idea if it was a suicide (most likely as he did suffer from schizophrenia), or what... It just svcks.

Sorry for your lost.

What a cheery time everyone is having.
