This Jay D guy or J Dilla is my new musical hero.

I have never heard any of his songs, but after reading this. I don't care what he sounds like.

Powerfull story.

So brutal. He really did keep it underwraps, and last year I read that XXL article when he denied being in a coma and everything.

but anyway, congrats to him for getting over it. i haven't read the entire article, but it seems like his case was a lot more severe than mine, if only because they didn't catch it in time. my ordeal was gruelling, but luckily a local oncologist had experience with it and had been treating another woman with it at the time.

It must be coincidence. As I click on the link, my computer is playing "Sometimes It Snows In April".

Damn.

The ride is going to end for all of us. Enjoy it while you can. Use time before time uses you...
