A Start

"Know a man, his face seems pulled and tense
Like he’s riding on a motorbike in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact, suggest that he should relax
But he’s always moving much too fast
Said he’ll see me on the flipside
On this trip he’s taken for a ride
He’s been taking too much on ...
There he goes with his perfectly unkept clothes
There he goes..." - Pearl Jam


I frequently find myself in deep thought, considering how much the life and death of my cousin Andy has affected my outlook on life.

His was a life of extremes. Extreme joy. Extreme sadness. Extreme anger. Extreme addiction. Extreme humor. Extreme shame. Extreme love.

This blog is a start; a start at chronicling the impact his life has had on me and others.
