sigh.

i am sad tonight. angry a bit. relieved. but mostly... well...

my friend earl died last night in his sleep after a long battle with lymphoma. he succumbed to kidney failure during a down-phase after a successful stem cell transplant last year.

i'll miss him a lot. he was one of those people who just managed to make you feel good about life, even when we hung in october and he was still undergoing chemo (took a break to go on tour with his band), he managed to be positive in his earl way.

fuck, what a loss for the world... but i am glad his suffering is over.
