moment of silence...

mid-afternoon i got the news. i didn't believe a word my messengers where saying. not everyone was sure so i started making phone calls. little by little i found out...we lost ryan. as soon as i got off of work i blasted over to cal's...silence, thats all there was.

you didn't have to know ryan...if you were/are a messenger you understood and felt the pain. the bike messenger community is tight knit...sure we may not all get along from time to time but that doesn't matter. we all feel pain when we lose one..."an injury to one is an injury to all".

i've said it time and time again...i've seen many come and go and they're all just numbers. well, sometimes you don't forget those numbers, those faces, those names. let's all take a minute today and just chill and remember our fallen soldiers...peace.

Hard to believe it's been a year. I didn't know Ryan, but his death was so sad...
