death, sweat and a video tape
david, i layed in the shower this morning, bawling. i could not stop crying. the water, the shower, just rushing over and soaking my tears. david? hello?
i did the same. i bawled my ass off in the shower that morning as well. i felt like glen close in the 'big chill'. i did make the trek though and i got lost. my ass was saved big time on that day at a burger king in pasadena. i told everyone that i would get lost. lost i was, terribly and horribly frustrated. of course, i had the typical davey temper tantrum.

i patted his mother on her heart, not unlike i do with anyone close to me. i said he will always be alive in our hearts. she burst into sobs and as she hugged me, her warm tears stained upon my shirt. solid and stained with love as the sweat dripped down my face.
the unexpected death of an old, dear friend of so many people has rocked so many peoples life's.

i loaned out the video tape of a new years eve that i had shot so many, many years ago. i did it out of respect and for those that still wish to remember you. i did not wish to let go of that tape being the selfish person that i am. it is in good hands though and one day it will be returned to me.

i will miss you so very much and yes you did say that the room moves with me. see i got the last word in, bye my friend.

over and out.
"Dear Family & Friends,
As most of you know Art has not been in the best of health for the past 6 months and I have some sad news to share with you all today and that is of Art's passing earlier this morning due to complications from internal bleeding which they could not get under control.
Needless to say this is a sad moment for us all and especially his long time partner Robbie, Art's mother and family. So as soon as I have more details about the funeral plans I will let you all know. Finally, this is a very sad day for me because I have lost a very dear friend.
