Five years ago today one of my best friends in life died in one of the greatest Modern Day Tragedies. Five years ago today one of my best friends in life died in one of the greatest Modern Day Tragedies. I really must repeat it because I have trouble believing it still to this day.

"I'm... I'm... Dying. What about you." It's Not Easy To Lose Your Soul, Diane by Lucid A, lyrics by Danny Correa


This is how I remember him most. This is right after high school. Young, vibrant, & the best years of his life still ahead of him. He is most definately the closest person to me that has ever shuffled off this mortal coil. That's begs the question. Is it harder to accept because of how. People die unexpectedly every day. I wonder if it's the same. Or this this different because of how huge the incident was. I really hope I never have to find out.

"Naked running through the church. Sing the folk songs on the porch. London kills me in the morn. New York saves me by the dawn." London Kills Me by Lucid A, lyrics by Danny Correa

I have always dreamt of making it in music. However, there was one thing attached to that dream that I will never attain. I had always dreamt of doing it with Danny. I wanted to be the Lennon to his McCartney.

I give thanks every time I think of him that I was able to play guitar for his band in the last two shows he ever played. It really was fate or a miracle really. I returned from Florida at the beginning of 2000. He & I started to hang again by the beginning of 2001. His guitarist had to go on vacation and they had two shows they really wanted to play. Danny asked me to fill in. Little did I know his intention was to have me join as a regular so that he could just sing. I would've said yes in a heartbeat, but I never got the chance. I do have those two shows though. One of which this next picture came from. A wonderful picture taken by my fiance Lisa.

I miss him so much. I really hope he's my guardian angel
