perspective

Apr 14, 2010 21:41

west died yesterday. i got word five minutes before my shift started, and they told me to take the day off and go home. my manager actually looked like a human being.

it was just really sudden. two weeks ago he's sick, last week he's diagnosed, this week he's gone. i know he's better off, and i know it's better that he went quickly, and i'm so fucking glad i hung out with him when i was there in february.

west had these big bug-eyes, like he was always surprised. he laughed a lot, smoked a lot of joints, drank a lot of miller high life - the champagne of beers. but these eyes man, they were always huge.

he wanted to be an organ donor, so they took his eyes, donny told me.
"so someone's walking around with his big ol bug eyes?" i asked.
donny laughed. "yeah, no shit. somebody just got a whole new perspective."
