it's kind of hard to talk about. I'm kind of an emotional guy. But, essentially, from a young age i have been raised by librarians and squating in sheds across teh midwest. one of my best companions i ever had was a camel by the name of cumple. he was the best camel. cumple and i did everything together. we went on hiking trips, we skied, we BMX'd!! we were inseperable. but one cold July night, cumple went to go gather us some food. there were some poachers in the area and they did everything they could to kill cumple. that dreadful night will remain in my dreams for the rest of my life... after a few hours of cumple's absense, i grew worried. i sought out on a quest to find him, and after hours upon hours, i was ready to give up. but then... i heard a muffled cry, "Dan."..... it was cumple! i quickly ran to him but just as i arrived he was in the middle of his last breath. with all of his strength he managed one last sentance.... "I'm not a camel, I'm a steed you goon." and then cumple drifted off into the afterlife.
as you can tell, cumple was a big part of my life, and i have made it my mission in life to honor cumple in all ways that i can.
