September 26, 2005

Four years ago to the day I was sitting at Bradford street with my best friend Damon and his girlfriend-another good friend of mine-at the time still silently celebrating my birthday and arrival to Albany when a sudden and unexpected phone call came into play. My grandmother was involved in a car accident with her best friend in MA and as the words came across the phone.."it doest look good" i can still hear them today. She passed away on September 26, 2005 with her best friend-I was unable to make it to the hospital in time to see her but my older brother and Uncle were. I wish to this day I could have said goodbye and told her everything and anything- Thank you, for the knowledge and compassion, Thank you for the smiles with your legs perched up on the couch reading your books, Thank you for the "could you please keep it down I'm trying to nap, Thank you for the understanding that religon doesn't come from a book but just that - an understanding, of oneself and the bible is one hell of a fictional story, Thank you for listening, Thank you the "No running by the pool" when I was growing up, and Thank you for being the best goddamned Grandmother that I ever knew, you were truly one of a kind, and i wish my little girl could have known you as you were and are-perfect.


I dont have any pictures of my grandmother on this computer So i decided on two of my daughter Amabel with her's. All I can say is this, Thank you Barb and Thank you Ruth-Ellen, both of you are and were great wives and mothers of which has evolved you into the greatest Grandmother's my little girl could ever ask for. I can only hope (and know) that she will grow up with the love and respect I had for my Memah that she has and will have for her Grandma Barb and Nannah. Thank you. I couldn't and she couldn't ask for more. xo

-love what is within arms reach if it matters.

feels like 27

my mountain

i'll climb forever.

The Good Life

if there is one album that I can always count on to help deal whatever shit im going through at the time it'd have to be Black Out by the The Good Life. That LP along with Bukowski's The Most Beautiful Girl in Town taught me how to drink like a fish and ruin any form of self security I had in college. If you haven't heard it and want to feel like complete dogshit, I highly recomend it-it still works for me to this day.

Cheers!

God Bless Canada

I normally dont like female vocals but this LP is amazing. Friends of Fucked Up and our neighbors from the the north!-can't go wrong. Hockey season starts in less than 20 yall.

yes

nyc from sunday till tuesday morning. Vorce and Smith-hands down best friends a dude could ask for. Glad to explore outside Brooklyn for once with them as well. $5 dollar burgers and a $2 plate of nachos with garbonzo beans on them @ Pianos -Ludlow and Stanton in the village-best happy hour ever spent. Deertick on a boat with J. Corndog opening up was the icing on the cake face to face with a fat bitch named Liberty standing all mighty torching it up. Thank you for saving an unfortunate/shitty weekend. BFF

three hundred and sixty three

When mabel was still in her mommas belly there was a really good show at the Colony Cafe in Woodstock NY. I remember I was unable to go but I'm not sure if it was because of work or because it was really really close to her due date. My friend Matt M shot this video of Elvis Perkins who i believe opened for AA Bondy (might have been other way around). The song meant alot to our little family because we used to play it for our little girl even though she wasnt born yet. Now whenever I hear it it reminds me of the whole experience of becoming a father and how much things change and have changed in my life because of the best little person that ever happened to me. She is my one and only. Cheers.

Pale Rider is a god-damned great film!!
