Well shit

Today I learned that one of my best friends from high school passed. I don’t know what to say, but I’ll be taking a break from this blog and my music for a while, please understand.

He was seriously the coolest guy. You see, I never did too great in school. I didn’t get good grades, I wasn’t terribly social, and all in all, it was an awkward experience for me. But… he was always there. He was in music classes with me, and any time the teacher would give me shit (which was a lot, btw), he was there to stick up for me. He was the guy who always could tell when I was feeling down, and wouldn’t let up with cheering me up ‘till he saw a smile. He was the guy who convinced me that nobody would make fun of me if I didn’t spike my mohawk up every day because it looks dumb. And he was the guy who wore a kilt just because he felt like it. Honestly, he was one of the people who helped me get through everything, and I’m just devastated to hear that he’s gone. 

I haven’t heard any official word on what happened to him yet, but I was told that it was possibly a suicide. It’s almost hard to believe that, because… well, he always seemed happy when I saw him. He was the lifeguard at the rec center that would join me and my friends in absurd waterslide antics, the guy who would drive over a hundred on dirt roads in a beat up Toyota just to prove a point. He was also smart as shit, and got into the School of Mines here in CO. He introduced me to a lot of the music I now love, and he was one of the best friends I could have ever asked for.

I know I’ll be fine and move past this, and I’m sending my condolences to his sister and the rest of his family. I wish them the very best, and you should, too. Maybe I’ll write a card or something… I don’t know. But I do know that I’ll need some time, and they’ll need even longer. It hurts to lose such a great friend, and I think everyone who knows him will regret time not spent. You’ll be missed. I’ll always remember you, Fisher.
