I have recently discovered that the band Supergrass are, in fact, super.

My deepest condolences & hugs to you and your family. You don't have to justify or apologise for anything you're feeling, just let it happen. I hope you're all coping ok ( ... )

New Supergrass is awesome. I only have new stuff really... two most recent albums excluding the best of. Life on Other Planets, Road to Rouen. The new album Road to Rouen is gorgeous, but only has nine songs on it and goes for 35 minutes. And i still payed $27 for it. Oh well, i had to listen to St. Petersburg. I heart that song.

Woah it was Halloween yesterday! I didn't realise. We also had a good family friend die yesterday morning. That crazy Halloween ( ... )

I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. My Opa (my mum's dad) is currently on the way out, he's had bone cancer, a broken hip and also arthritis. He's also battling with depression because he's so sick. He has 8 children, and then 18 grandchildren and also a great grandchild, so his departure will definitely be a big thing, considering how close his whole family is and how close we are to him. Adam and I get to see him every second year or so, and even though it's not very often, we've still managed to build a definite history with him and have detailed memories.

That photo is really awesome. How cool are old photos?

My grandfather died last year. He'd been smoking himself to death all his life, which is rather ironic because in the end his death wasn't anything to do with the cigaretts.
But I totally get what you mean with the mind departing and the body remaining. I have very few memories of him before he started to deteriorate, he'd been dieing all my life basically, but the ones I do have I cherish because most of my life he wasn't a person. He became somthing flat... almost two dimensional in nature. He wasn't my Papa anymore, he was just a body.

As for the 'coincidence', I had the same sort of thing happen. Sudden memories of Papa near the time of his death... there's more to the story but I don't want me or my family coming accross as crazy psychic claimers

i liked what you wrote. knowing things or finding things out about leon is always good and interesting because you never really show much so it's nice surprises when you do.

i didn't think that what you wrote was self pitying or depressing at all. there's nothing wrong with feeling sad about the death of someone you cared about, whether or not he was still really there or not. just because it's happened to other people doesn't mean it hasn't happened to you and you don't have the right to feel however the hell you want.

i like supergrass!

you really do have his ears... :)
