Death and Remembrance · 8:36am Jan 15th, 2015
I'm not in that good of a mood today, so even though I don't really give a fuck right now, I give my apologies in advance for some of the not-so-great language that will present in this post.
Earlier today, I was just playing some Red Alert 2 (took a shit-load of time to get working on my Windows 8.1 laptop). Just sitting there all innocent, killing my way through the enemy to capture the White House when, all of a sudden, I start thinking about my dad (Paul Jay Grimmer). He died a good three or four years ago and I'm proud to say that I didn't cry once after I found him just lying cold in bed. After calling the police, answering his cellphone and talking to his boss for a little bit, I was left alone. My mother was at work out of state and my sister didn't know yet.
I don't know why I started thinking about him. Maybe it was because he enjoyed playing games like Command and Conquer and Call of Duty and my subconscious connected the game I was playing to him somehow. I don't really know, but because of this I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

PS: Something that made that day even worse is my 360 got the Red Ring later that day. It didn't help that at that time, it was one of the only things I enjoyed doing and could take my mind off of what was happening.
PPS: I think I did a good job in holding back the swearing.
