Sometimes we get so caught up with the excitement and energy of a new movie, that we forget about real world issues going on around us. I was just, very suddenly, reminded of that. A good buddy of mine, whom I served with briefly in Afghanistan, was killed in action last night. He was definitely more than a friend from work. He was like a brother. Hes being flown home this weekend, with a service on Monday. I had previously bought Ragnarok tickets for Sunday, but will be giving them to my neighbor. The least I can do is fly to NY to pay my respects. Gonna try to see the movie next Wednesday. Ill report back then.
