Unexpected

I've just been on the M.E.N website, searching through archived news reports (don't ask why, because I have no idea) and I came across an article that really shocked me. It was detailing how someone that I used to go to school with, and sort of knew, had been jailed for 2 years for possession and supply of Class A drug, MDMA. 

It really made me realise that you never truly know someone. I mean, I wouldn't say he was the ideal student, like anyone he would have his moments and "act up", haven't we all done this? I would never have thought this would happen though. It's a scary reality, can you trust anyone anymore, do you really know someone as well as you think? All of these questions have now been thrown into my mind and I can't stop thinking things through over and over again. 

In reality, I shouldn't let such a story affect me so much. I mean, I hardly knew the guy, but I went to school with him, even had lengthy conversations with him every now and again and seeing his mugshot in a news article explaining his crimes was, quite frankly, extremely shocking.

Oh well, life is life and stuff happens all the time that we would least expect to. My circle of friends may be rather small, but it is full of people I care for dearly and would trust with my life. I like that about my circle. Although there isn't may of us, I can always count on them for anything that may crop up.

Anyway, it's time for my daily dose of YouTube before heading to sleep. On the agenda tomorrow is getting my tyre repaired/replaced. It has a slow puncture and the car is now gulping my fuel. I hope that once the tyre is sorted my fuel consumption will reduce somewhat.

Here's hoping...
