It's funny how death works. My buddy Jordan was killed in a motorcycle accident nearly six months ago. Obviously, like everyone else I've lost, random things remind me of him, and usually not a day goes by that I don't think about him at least once.

Today is one of those weird days where for no particular reason I can't get him out of my head.

A bunch of us are planning a huge trip to Baltimore next month (something like 40 people going for 4 days as of right now). It's a trip that Jordan should be flying in for. All this planning for that trip is bringing the memory of him right back to the front of my mind.

You're still missed, man. Always.

Lyrics to Mer's "Rewind"

I never got to tell you
You're the reason why I'm me
'Cause everything about you
Is exactly what I aim to be
Now memories won't do
This here family,
Won't be the same without you

I wasn't ready for the exit
I wasn't ready for the leave
Could you stay another moment
Press rewind for me
I wasn't ready for goodbye
I always thought there's be more time
To say I love you

What can I say
I always thought you'd be around
I never thought you'd have to go away
What can I do
When every goofey thing I see
Reminds me how you used to be funny
Now photographs won't do
This little music man
Won't be the same without you

I wasn't ready for the exit
I wasn't ready for the leave
Could you stay another moment
Press rewind for me
I wasn't ready for goodbye
I always thought there'd be more time
To say I love you
