For Mores

Death is an unreasonable bitch and I hate it.

Just found out that a friend passed away today.  We weren't as close as others, but his passing shocked me to my core as I'm sure it did for his family and close friends and those who loved him.

Mores, you were an awesome guy, your subtle humor, glaring brilliance, and strong spirit were such an inspiration to me.  You will be sorely missed.  I hope that you're enjoying yourself in Heaven because someone whose spirit could fill a space with joy with one statement has got to be dancing among the angels.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Thorny, Jazz and their families as they deal with this tragic loss.  I dedicate this song to you:

Make Sure You Remember

Dont’ Forget: 13 years later.

December 1, 1976 – October 12, 1998

Matthew Sheppard was a 21-​year-​old college student, when he was lured outside a bar under a ruse, beaten senseless, pistol whipped and left for dead, strung up on an unforgiving Wyoming fence that eventually claimed his life. Eleven years later, Barack Obama would sign the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act. We remember Matthew, his sacrifice and the work continues.
