laundry, good kitty/bad kitty, dead people

it's been an unfortunate hour!
first, with the news that jim carroll was found dead at his apartment in manhattan. second, that patrick swayze finally lost a fight and no longer exists (on earth, i guess).
jim carroll was such an amazing poet and for an assortment of reasons i've always just thought he'd be immortal. in some sense to me he will always be, but i was just influenced a lot by his style of writing and i actually liked his band too.
so did keith richards.
everyone has to die, untimely or not. i mostly just hate the fact that he was so young, especially because after so many years of drugs and a wild lifestyle he wanted to calm down, and did.

what, really, is the point if it's going to snag you anyway?

so now i'm wondering who is next in the trinity of death? will it be someone i know? or will it be someone close to someone i care about? or will it be someone i don't even know nor have i ever met? either way i expect it and no amount of wonder will keep it from happening. it will be a someone.

the trio is the most frightening component to the way we've been shown death in the past decades. expectant and unaffected or completely blind-sided, it still sucks.

so fuck that.
