why do people die?

Holy f***!  Okay, I'm officially freaked out right now.  My dad's oldest friend, who he hasn't talked to in about 4 years because some stupid fight they had, died at work of a heart attack today.  He was practically my uncle...and his daughter, Shannon, is 9 months pregnant.  It seems so unreal.  In other news, I'm not going to go to U of M, because I was talking to an architect and he said that an architecture degree from U of M doesn't mean shit, so I'm probably going to go to CMU for 2 years and then I'll go to either Arizona State, Texas A & M, Virginia Tech, or Georgia Tech.  My brain is fried now, I can't even concentrate on blogging.
