I got a free one today b/c I just happened to walk past the 31st Street location, which handed out coupons for free coffee at 6th ave.
I will keep this short -- b/c I have more important writing to do.
An old friend died. His funeral was last night. He was out of my life for as long as he was in it. Since no one is mentioning the cause of death but apparently he died in his sleep. I do not believe a healthy 34-year-old typically dies that way.
Old friends, whom I also separated from b/w 1999-2000, all talk about how great he was and made these commemorative wristbands. It's sad, b/c I actually knew this guy long before most of the other guys who made up our crew. Maybe people change. Maybe the drugs just became the paste of their friendship. Maybe other people have a higher tolerance for that sort of lifestyle -- I have practically none.
