The other day I received some unexpected info that a friend of mine, Michael Dimarco was found dead from either a drug overdose or suicide. The cause of death is still to be determined but apparantly he was dead for over 24 hours before he was found. This was a friend I had gone to high school with and still saw on occasion over the last few years. We had so many good times together and he will be missed. His memorial service was yesterday.

a few days before this trajic news I was out at a club with two of my best friends from way way back. We all got drunk on Tequila (the possible culprit) and the two of them ended up fighting each other..I got in between them and broke it up. It was unnecessary and the sad part of it is I doubt they will be cool with one another anytime soon if ever again.



I try to hold my emotions in and keep a pleasant happy vibe. I am not one to seek sympathy because although my life has been difficult and full of obstacles, I never let my struggles keep me from smiling regularly and keep making others do the same.


The saying "you don't know what you have until it's gone" rings in my head continuouslly.


To anyone that reads this and cares I wish you love and peace and I urge you to hug somebody you love often cuz I've been reminded twice again that you only live once.

Hey Pej... life offers us many lessons. It is what you do with those that matter. Make the best out of both situations... YOu can only win.

Oh, Pej... Let the feelings roll over you...you're going to be feeling so many different emotions...but, eventually things will calm down.

My thoughts are with you
