jai i hope your friends turn up
the waiting is the hardest part
and feeling powerless over the fate of the people that you care so much about, even if you can't express it or didn't express it well ...Fallen thank you for your prayers. I hope my friend's family receives them as they have already suffered more than enough. and also can we pray for jai's friends. and for my other old friend, my missing friend's former roommate and my close ally - he has been through so much and suffered so much
i just want to remember my friend positively as he was ... a slightly goofy guy who loved all things asian and spent a year in japan ... who was trying hard to make something of himself in make ends meet in a tough and expensive town ... who took pride in working out and making his body healthy ... and who grew up in the next town over from me, went to school where i went to school, and who i never met until we moved across the country to try our fortunes in a strange land ...
i miss you dude, even if i didn't say these things to you. and i appreciate the things you did for me and for others. you are a good man and i'm sad that it came to this
ps jai - i am taking good care of myself. i will be fighting for a political cause soon and i will be sure that the treatment of mental illness is high on the political agenda. and i will be making music this weekend for my peace. i hope peace is with you.
