I remember the day that I met you, it was at the roaring spring fireman's carnival...you were skateboarding and i was hanging out with my 2 new friends Jordan and Ian. We spent several years of knowing each other, but not really... when I turned 18 I took you and Ian with me to warped tour, you were starting to dread your hair in some of the crazy colors you enjoyed, at that moment it was just a normal dark orange and black, it was cool. You were the first kid I knew with dreads, and you were younger than me... After that we chilled quite a bit, we both loved tbs, brand new and Thursday, You are actually the person who introduced me to brand new...Then you moved to Central, you became friends with the same people I was friends with and this was after I was in school, You made friends with some of the other most amazing people I know, Evan, John, Nick, you knew them all well and it ruled, because you fit perfectly... endeariam came about and you were making great music that I enjoyed listening to and seeing you guys play... there was a time of partying which I loved sharing with you, but we got "Ty-ed" and "Pat-ed" out, I wish that would have never happened.... but we always still stayed close. Then we started to hang out more, then you moved to indiana with kimmie, I have and always will think that you two were meant for each other.... Then you came back, You, Evan, John and I had a night so intense in the G shack I will never forget, it was your first night back, It was a happy time for us, but a not-so-happy time for you....... we then came upon an agreement to have bible study (or bro-ship) every wednesday night... we met at the shack once or twice, then you got your own place. we met there for a while, often enjoying some sons of anarchy or some random smokes on the porch......... we continued to chill often for several months... On Monday we got drunk and made plans of making our lives better, we talked about starting a tattoo shop/venue/bar out of the old Don Pablo's building... On Sunday morning I got a call from Evan informing me of your death...... I've never felt that way before. I've never had someone so close to me, as close as a brother, not be there anymore... In present time, It is your birthday, or at least it was when I woke up, one way or another it is your birthday, I miss you more than I have ever missed anyone, and that is saying a lot.... I wish you could have been there tonight, I wish i could have just chilled with you one more time, I know its really not possible, but i miss you, and I would just really like to hear advice from the most loving asshole i have ever met.... I miss you bro....... today sucked without you here......
