Just got informed that another person i knew
and who was a classmate of me at collegue for many years died.
he died of cancer 2 weeks ago.

last thing i had contact with him was a PvP on LT for fun that we played ~ 2,5 years ago at a Lan party with friends.
some of my friends made a lan party and played BW all day ( they were all total newbs)
I was invited but originally declined. ( I knew that they were all horrible and that it would not be fun playing them in BW)
However at the evening i decided that i come over and watch them a bit while having some beers.
He was kinda the best BW player of them and so the other guys asked me if i might play him while they watch.
I did so and we played 2 showmatches of PvP on Lt that i both won easily.
That feels so strange in a way that the last thing he and me had in common was a Broodwar match.

He was very special and almost the complete opposite of me at that time

He never smoked a cigarette
he never drank alcohol
he did lots of sports
he had always A grades in collegue
he was always friendly

and now he is dead.
I feel so sorry for him.

Sick life

I am only 24 years old myself
but i could mention at least 15 people i really knew that were my age and allready died

Looking at my past how i was a drug addict and had a very unhealthy crazy youth and so had many of my friends
i am kinda used to see people at my age die.
most of the guys i knew that are dead know were drug addicts and always lived on the edge.
Some of them died due to drugs some due to accidents ( car accidents etc.)
But all of them had in common that they were very extreme people in a way or another

This guy however was totally different.

He never did anything crazy

And then he fucking dies of cancer at the age of 24 ???

Again i am really sorry for him.

I also somehow feel really thankfull that i am alive and healthy after all teh shit i ve done so far in my Life

Where ever u may be now
I wish u Friedrich Heberlein the very best from my heart.

Life is a joke

So unfair.
That's also why i'm an atheist. I can't believe in god when i see something like that ...

I worship variance but she is a bitch.

damn cancer

I have learned from poker that being at the table is not a grind, the grind is living and poker is how I pass the time

It's really weird how people die for no reason. I guess it's "variance", but I can't really accept it. Or I dunno, it's really hard to come to terms with in any case. It "should" be some meaning with it all but a wiser man then me would probably have to find it, cause I sure as shit can't.

humbling experience it is when we've known someone who passed away. and btw , its a very nice dedication to your friend, even if its just a blog post.
