A Tribute to Tbone & Alec
July 7th, 2008
Day before yesterday, two old friends of mine whom I have known for 10 years now died in a car accident. They were on their way to the movies in Tbone’s wrangler when one of the tires blew up forcing them into the sidewalk and the car flipping 5 times. They were both gone before they reached the hospital.
Talal (Tbone), born May 23rd 1980, graduated Business Administration from the American University of Beirut in 2001, and later continued with an emphasis in Marketing from the University of Birmingham. He then moved to Dubai working in the marketing field and has been there the past 5 years. Tbone was with me in AUB and was one of those people who could make anyone laugh. I would say he spent his entire life laughing, even when sad and in his sleep. He pulled the funniest pranks on people, made videos and posted them all online. He even set up a website, Zee Aflam, which is Indian movies translated to Arabic; he even did one video himself which was too funny. The guy was one of those who loved enjoying life and living it to the max every single day. He was always out, seeing people, socializing, partying, traveling, had a great love life, and family life. His favorite quote was “shake n bake baby!”. The world is definitely a sadder place without him.
When I think about Alec, I think Superman. This guy was famous back in uni for his superman tops. Of all the people I ever knew, this guy had the kindest and biggest heart. He was a small fellow yet would pick on the biggest guys. I would bump into him almost everywhere I go and he always had this cheesy smile on his face, drops some silly comment, then walks away. He loved outdoor activities and his favorite sport was Rugby, although he was a small guy. He tried gyming it for a while but he remained small. He always made me laugh. He too graduated from AUB with Business Administration, and has been in Dubai ever since.
REST IN PEACE BOYS. YOU WERE LOVED, YOU ARE MISSED, AND YOU WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED. CHEERS!
AM COMING TO LEBANON TO SAY GOODBYE.
