In Memoriam:

James Lee Berrong.....

One of the two wild ones. First I lost Kimberly, and now 4 months later I lose you. Kimberly I understood...but not you. This is like a book that was being written and yet the chapter was left unfinished...and there are so many unanswered questions.....

In the time honored tradition I offer up something you know well....

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

((James was one of my inspirations for getting off my ass and making it to Burning Man back in 2002. Some losses cut much deeper and hurt more than others, this being one of them. ))

I still have the tequila....and as promised things will be done right. Promise made, promise kept. And remember, now it's always 4:20...but you don't need smoke to see that you've earned your wings.

OMG !!

I just now found out about Peter Steele's death.
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/163720 ... tive.jhtml

Type O Negative has been in my top 3 favorite bands for over 15 years, I shed some tears when I read about his passing.

myself and a friend used to have a video show on public access in Olympia Wa, and we interviewed Peter in 92'-93'?, when they were opening for Pantera in Seattle.

Peter had gotten into a fight with his girlfriend before the show, because of the way he was acting with the girl in this video, which was new at that time. He was very drunk during the interview and started crying like a blubbering baffon before the interview ended, crying on my friends shoulder after the interview ended.
We didn't interview pantera because we instead went with him to his bus, where he soon passed out.

Here is that video that his girlfriend hated him in.

He was a very talented songwriter, singer and bass player, but his music will live on forever.

R.I.P. Peter, we really miss you, but everything dies...

[youtube][/youtube]

I don't think I will miss any musician as much as him, his voice was the best in the industy, IMO.

For those not familiar with Type 0 Negative, this song might ring a bell.

Peter and I were born hours apart (on different coasts), so I felt a sort of kinship with him â€” and maybe a partial understanding. He had a Scorpio ascendant, I had a Gemini ascendant, other than that our charts were nearly identical.

I met him several times. One of my fonder memories was after the Fillmore show supporting October Rust. It was the hottest day of the year, surprisingly hot, and even at midnight it was around 80 degrees outside, so I dressed lightly to go to the show: sleeveless t-shirt and a sarong. Josh Silver and I did an impromptu tattoo show-and-tell by the bus when I went up to him and said, "I don't want an autograph, I just want to see your ink." He grinned and showed me his arms. There's a lot of detail in his work that doesn't show up in the magazine or online photos, and I could see the older stuff against the newer. I showed him my Lascaux Shaman tattoo on my leg and he said, "You're taking your time getting paneled out, you're better off."

After Peter, Johnny was my favourite member of the band. Very friendly, cool, suave, always ready to chat.

When Peter came out, someone in the hang-out crowd said "Peter alert!" and everyone got their autograph stuff ready. I didn't ask for an autograph, I'm not in the habit. I'd rather collect anecdotes for re-telling later (like now). So when Peter gave me his attention, I said I'd read that his birthday was January 4, 1962, and I wanted to know what time he was born. "Three-thirty AM, why?" I told him I was born 3:41 PM the day before. He smiled and said, "Well, happy birthday." So he knew. I like to think he was tickled that one of his fans was almost exactly the same age as him.

The next time I went to see them was at the (formerly) Keystone Palo Alto. I was in the group hanging out by the bus, waiting for them to come out. We were sitting because we'd been waiting for awhile. Then Peter came out the back of the club and heads down the alley towards the bus; we spotted him and got up, and he yelled, "Awww, don't get up just for ME!!" And I said, "Okay, I won't" and sat back down. He laughed and said, "A woman after my own heart!"

There used to be a big Type O Negative e-mail list on a server back in Indiana. We were a crazy bunch; according to the admin, we posted "2 megs of crap every month" â€” on the average. Sometimes it was more. But that was because we'd welded as a community and more often than not were friends offlist as well. There were four of us that were dressage aficionados and wanted to get Friesians and tour the country as the Technocratik Republic of Vinnland Colour Guard, performing quadrilles to Type O music and having black and green as our colours. Unhappily, it didn't pan out, mostly because we couldn't afford Friesians ($20,000

) and one of the girls was 5'2" and couldn't ride a Friesian (big horses, they be).

The list kind of wound down to a trickle after October Rust came out; I've no idea why, because it was a great album and there was a lot of excitement and discussion over it. I guess the list-mems just settled into contentment mode, and/or drifted away, or Lifeâ„¢ intervened for most of us. A troll from Australia with a fascination for KFC was partly to blame. But when we were in our hey-day, we produced a t-shirt, a slogan ("Frontways they will fall" â€” from the Mis-Heard Lyrics thread), the Ogre Salami Cult, and some friendships. I'm still in touch with some of them, either directly or indirectly.

Peter Steele touched many lives. I'm glad to see the tributes and memories and anecdotes being posted in the wake of his death. The night I found out, I looked up at the moon â€” and was somewhat bittersweet to note that it was the same moon he was born under, according to the ephemeris.
Godspeed, Wolf Daddy.

My mother, Jessie Rae Baggett, 76, died Sunday May 2nd. She worked hard all her life. No services, no visitation, she's being cremated. My brother has power of attorney and is taking care of everything. She's just gone. My brother called me yesterday with the bad news. He called today saying that he'll be bringing over a copy of the will and the legal papers Friday.

I expected I would feel worse than I do. She started losing her mind 2 years ago with Alsheimers. So, I guess, it's a blessing that my brother has some peace now too. It will probably really hit us Friday when he comes over.

My step father was Buddist, and my brother keeps his ashes. Now he will keep her ashes there now with him. Perhaps someday , my remains will be with them on the same shelf. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes...

I am sorry to hear that old guy. It may take some time to truly hit you. I have heard with parents that there tend to be stages of shock.

That's how it was for me, too. No judgment, and you never know when it will kick in, if at all.
I guess the gradual waning is eaiser to prepare for than a sudden demise. And having a Buddhist around doesn't hurt.

Grief is a funny animal, and it will give you a wild ride. Peace be with you, Oldguy.

My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. I am sorry to hear this bad news, but I know she is at peace now.

This is such a tough thread to open.

Oldguy
Sorry to hear about your Mom.
If you or your family would like some stones made with her ashes please let me know. I would be more then happy to make them for you.

Risky
Crap, wish I could say something to make it all better.
Hate this thread.
Glad we have it though.
Know what it feels like to hurt so dam much.
Scared to talk to anyone, not wanting to fall apart.
Keeping it together, trying to help others who are falling it apart.
Just wanting to scream.
But sitting at the keyboard, letting the pain wash over you.
Able to type a little and maybe, just being able to get rid of just a small bit of it.

They have planned her funeral on Mother's Day.
How traumatic for her children.
The more I think about it the more pissed I get.
