022309: Death and beginnings . . . .
"A childhood friend has succumbed to drug abuse," at least that's what it reads/sounds like. I grew up with this guy, used to lay on the lawn of our backyards, and dream/speak of what we were gonna be. I loved this guy like a brother, and got pissed when he drifted off, but, then again, we all drifted. I used to play hardcore games of "Risk" with him, and we both got into Genesis and prog at the same time. So many memories, I had forgotten about, and here we are, stifling tears, and time off from work. Just faced the burial of a co-worker, who was amazing, who touched so many people in NYPD, in directing them to sobriety. And, I just found out I lost the last 2 living persons on my uncle's side, who, taught the kids of another guy I used to work with. Everything comes around eventually, right? Karma? And I've been misbehaving, as I'm bored and depressed, but, life still goes on, and both Dino and my wife depend on me not to screw things up. It's pretty lame, but to remind myself of the time, I'm listening to Duran Duran 12"s, and wishing I could travel time! So Many memories, but the cast is lost, and I drift where I'm at. Apologies for the depressing nature, and there are quite a few sites I need to hit! Wishing the best, as I turn to listen to John Entwistle's (The Who bassist) 1981 epic 'Too Late The Hero" as I know that feeling all to well! may the Devil not know your gone, until St. Peter opens the pearly gates, if you believe that . . .
Wishing the best to everyone out there . . . . .. .
I'm going to give you squoogalie hugs! Lots of them! And I don't even know
what they are yet, besides good ;-)
Raineth, thank you, and they are well recieved. Hoping all is well with you
and yours, and will stop by your site.
Sorry it's been tough of late, everything is cyclical but of course each
time heralds the fear that this may be the one you don't come out of. Been
that way for me now for 18 months and counting. Listen to The The's
Jealous of Youth if you want Matt Johnson's very apposite take on it all.
Sorry to hear about the rough times Kevin.
I'm sorry to hear of all the losses. It seems to be the older we get the
more we lose but then that is the way of life. The good memories carry us
through the difficult times. I wish you many good memories. My best to
you, your wife and Dino.
sorry to hear that kevin... my faith tells me that praying for our departed
ones will help them. and it also helps us analyze our emotions... keep
strong my friend, we are always here for you. just to share, my thing is,
when everything's not ok, i seek rock bottom because at the point, the only
way is to kick up.
Kevin, sorry about your loss. I'm still mourning my Mom's death. I'm sure
if your friend could converse with you now, he would want to give you
guidance with respect to how to live the remainder of your life. It's
positive to use the death of your friend or loved one to IMPROVE your life
as a way to balance how much you miss him.
