by the cahones
My friend Cole died on Oct 10 in Thailand in a train crash of some sort. We worked together at the MG. He trained me in the ways of the restaurant, tequila shots and kissing as many boys as possible at Celebrites (him not me, well maybe me). He covered for me when my illicit in-house romance started with the boy. He encouraged me to dance on the bar and reset tables in less than 60 seconds. He was 21 the last time I saw him and grabbed life by the balls better than anyone I ever knew. I'll miss the small part I played in his life and the future parts he'd play in mine during his visits back to Vancouver (he moved to Edmonton last year).Today I also received a link to this story. Kevin Tillman was a NFLer who walked from a million or so dollar contract to join the US Army (2002). He died in Afghanistan in 2004 (friendly fire). The whole Habeas Corpus bill is only started to sink in now. It's not settling in very well.
Regina Spektor's helping me get through this day. I'm probably a million years behind on this band wagon, but I have found my new chanteuse. Sorry Feist. Sorry Joni. Sorry Joanna.

so sorry to hear about cole. i'm sure he'd be honoured to know that he's eulogized in an entry called "by the cahones".
wow, what a shame.
and I love Regina Spektor too, btw. The latest album is my fave.
