RIP

A year ago today my Uncle Bob died. It feels like it happened this morning.
This picture is from New Year's Eve 93/94. I was 12-I'm actually drinking some kind of pink champagne/cranberry juice mixture. My mom let all us kids drink that year & I remember getting kinda tipsy. I remember that nite being fun because everyone slept over at my house & breakfast the next morning was a big raucous loud party of yelling & teasing & adult hangovers & we were eating pickles for some reason.
I miss my Uncle Bob.
I watched The Devil & Daniel Johnston tonite & when I got home from work listened to a little Kimya dawson & cried for a few minutes.......apparently I'm 13.
But,whatever, life is short & you lose people you love so be nice to everyone who you have right now.
Never take shit for granted & never treat people as less than thier worth. Don't wait until some big emotional build-up happens or yr drunk & high to say I love you.
Things aren't as complicated or so huge as people make them out to be. Life & love & happiness are simple.
For me, at least.
The people who are closest to me who I love SO much & admire & respect SO much who can't see how simple it is make my heart ache & I want to cry all over again.
Just be good to each other & love each other. THEN let's all get drunk & have a dance party in the living room in our underwear!

And just so I'm not being a totally emotional ovary satchel tonite: the cat peed in my clean laundry & I taught the Korean lady at the convenience store how to make a gin & tonic with lots of lime.
SB & I were hung as hell yesterday & lied around watching shitty TV in states of semi-consciousness for about 11 hours yesterday. And it was awesome.
good nite.
