"dying 2 Live"

Sadly at 3 o'clock this morning (january 1st) my friends and I lost a really good friend Adrian. This guy was always trying to fit in with the rest of the group but didn't realize he didn't need to. He was driving down florence by the big church when his dodge neon came across a hump in the road and tristed his car somewhere between 45 and 90 degrees and hit a light pole on the passenger side which kept him spinning eventually wrapping his car around a tree. My friends witnessed the entire thing and barely missed the light pole he ran into. Adrians car was obviosly totalled with his engine about a block away from his car. He was pronounced dead at the scene. His mother was in Mexico when she found out and his father found out when he was at home.Now, a good friend is watching over us from the sky above when he should be enjoying himself with the guys.

This story is 100 perfent true. Today was the viewing. What is more deppresing about the situation is that Adrian died racing a fellow friend. The parents know he was racing but they don't know who. Why was he racing in the first place many of us ask between eachother. Obviosly my friend loved racing but the floor was wet. So why did he take the turn at that speed? Investigators believe that he was driving at least at 110 mph. For now, a good friend leave this world until we meet again. Now I ask myself, whats the purpose of me sharing this with you guys. I've seen some bulletins of illegal street racing. I admit it, I did it myself. Now I will just run at the track where it is a lot safer. This is not the main purpose though. If this story can get you to think twice about racing in the street, then this message has served its purpose. The only advise I would like to give is this, please race at the track. If you decide to run on the street, just KNOW YOUR LIMITS!!! There is enough pain and suffering the world gives us so why make things harder on ourselves. Losing a stupid race is a lot better than losing one's life or friend. Trust me on this one.

-By the way, "dying to live" was a saying my friend went by.
