while at fred meyers with rj and anthony last night, i ran into joe simpson. i haven't seen his hippie-ass in like, forever. he's still the lead singer of his band and whatnot. that encounter just really got me thinking about all of the people in my life that have seemingly passed through... there have been some unmentioned that have profoundly affected me... in some ways, it gives me strength in knowing that... we are all still here, though not necessarily in the same place or area or state or country or plane or dimension...
