sweet dreams forever dominic

today was our first snow and i made a little playlist of some of my favorite holiday songs. i'll be adding to it.

happy christmas

on a darker note, while at charlies friday night i received news that a friend had just passed away from a brain aneurysm. dominic owen mallary, best known as dom. it came as a huge shock, out of nowhere! and although my evening was decent, it really hit me once i was alone and heading home. i hadn't seen or talked to him in a very long time but i have good memories of him and his amazing, kind, entertaining, caring presence and it hurt very much. mine and dom's friend johnny mac came up from richmond virginia. we celebrated doms life last night at johnny's moms house, only a stones throw from mine. it takes me about 2 or 3 minutes to walk there, 1 to run. saw a lot of old faces that had drifted away. it was depressing but really great to be able to all be together. my heart goes out to dominic's girlfriend angela "spoon". who is also unfortunately a friend i've lost touch with but still care greatly about. there are just far too many good people i've had great memories with that have drifted. drift back, i'm here.
