On August 30th a former coworker and friend was in Los Angles on a Sunday out for a ride on his motorcycle when the worst thing possible happen. A car changed lanes to the right, not seeing my friend and threw him about 30 feet to the right.. his helmet was knocked off.. and he sustained a terrible head injury.
Since the accident he's been in a drug induced coma... he's had part of his skull removed in hopes to relieve the pressure to his brain. In the past few days the doctors started to bring him out of the coma.. but with mixed results... so they proceeded slowly.
Yesterday they did a brain scan and realized he has no brain functions at all. All hopes were lost that he would recover from this horrible accident.
tonight at midnight pacific standard time.. his family will take him off life support and pray for a miracle that he pulls through. At this point a person has nothing left but hope and faith that someone up there is listening and will help my friend Mark through this toughest of times.
A little bit of background.. I met Mark when I a started my current job as TV cameraman about 18 yrs ago. Mark was one of the best of the brightest up and coming cameraman at the time. Much more experienced than I was in this profession. He worked as a free lance videographer for about 16 yrs on TV shows like the FOX show COPS, he's also worked on shows like the Amazing Race, A Current Affair and many others. He has traveled the world for his career, getting into some very dangerous situations. He is well liked by everyone and always got freelance work because of his easy going nature and good work ethic, not to mention his talent as a photographer.
So if you could find it in your prayers to send one to my friend Mark, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, AL

As a fellow motorcyclist, its hard to hear stuff like this. Just a week ago a car pulled out of a parking lot and hit a guy on a motorcycle going about 50 mph. Stuff like that just makes me sick. This was right in front of where I work. Luckily, he only suffered some serious road rash and a broken hand.
Please guys, it only takes a couple seconds to look again, and always, always use blinkers. Tragedies like this can all to often be avoided with a blinker.
My prayers are with him and his family, God speed.

What a terrible tragedy. Prayers have been sent.I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
