Weirdscience - It saddens me to hear about your friend's death. I know that you were already planning on memorializing Alex at the temple. I'm sorry to hear that you have more grief.

(((((glitterpussy's family)))) Although I didn't know her, I'm very sorry to hear about her passing.

Sorry, that's no fucking comfort at all.


Life is precious and we are wise to love those we love with that little extra oomph, because we don't know when we lose them.

Take care of yourself, wierdscience.

Yeah, that was a tough one. I met him at an electric car show in LA in the 90's . He was very friendly and spoke with me and my step son for almost a half hour.

A little late, I just heard about this...

Post by lonestoner916 » Mon Nov 29, 2010 5:10 pm

Micheal Larsen- (November 9, 1981 – October 16, 2010), known by his stage name Eyedea, was a well-known freestyle battle champion and underground rapper. His notable wins included the televised Blaze Battle sponsored by HBO (2000) and a victory at Scribble Jam (1999). He had appeared as a solo artist, and as the emcee half of the duo Eyedea & Abilities (along with longtime friend and collaborator DJ Abilities). His non-battle rhymes were generally philosophically or thematically based, and often told a definite narrative.

Eyedea died in his sleep on October 16, 2010. He was found dead by his mother, according to friends.[2] Cause of death was released November 18, 2010 and ruled an accident, from opiate toxicity, according to the Ramsey County medical examiner's office. The specific drugs found in Larsen's system isn't public information.

I stand alone
Burned every bridge over the troubled water
No longer hiding from my personality disorder
A stronger tide is coming, I've been running
trying to function fine with out my mind
climbing out this fucking corner
I was born a thorn away from the rotten petals

A forgotten rebel

crafted in the absence of heaven's heavy hands to develop an evident level of benevolence
so it's probably better I sold my soul to the devil
This is a message to anyone I met that thinks they know me
Don't pretend to understand none of the issues that I'm holding
I was in a rush to grow up, look Mom no cuts
Just a stomach in disgust, and the fear
that I might go nuts this year
If I don't slow up I'll see you on my way
One day this shit'll kill me but I guess that it's OK
I've lost all faith in a world so full of hate
and I don't fucking love music I just use it to escape
I'm caught between wanting to punch someone in the face
and putting a bullet in my head to leave the human race
Everything takes its toll but there's no tolls I can take
I haven't yet found a good reason to be awake
Introducing the corroded bumps I hide behind my smile
I'm angry at the universe for the way she treats me now

And keeps me down,

stealing all my energy
I'm feeling like my enemy, concealing my identity
Not dealing with my tendencies,
I peel the skin and then I squeeze
The real imprinted hand cause he's
not human in this century,
I'm kneeling to the entity
Who built this penitentiary,
as filthy as a centipede
And guilt was in his sense cause he was willing to just let me bleed, While I wore a game face
In 10 years don't check for me I'll be in the same place
This planet's just an over-populated mental hospital
Each zombie walk around constitutes another obstacle
So here it is I'm finally coming out my shell
All 19 years of my life have been in conflict with myself
I'm insecure by every facet of my existence
From my addictions, to the condition I choose to live in
Who you kidding?
I suffer from excess anxiety
A product of pollution in American society
Stare into my eyes and see the hell that burns inside my mind
and I no longer have an ego I can hide behind
but I've been trying disregarding my insanity
Every form of art isolates us from humanity
But it's provoked against being force fed
so Fuck education for a decade and 3 years
of headaches from my peers
Cause now I realize I could have learned more on my own
They taught me how to know everything except my soul
Which is everything I need to grow
Everything that keeps me whole
Everything that ever meant anything to Eyedea
So I leave with golden hopes
to rip the leash that holds my focus
but the fact remains the same, I'm still bound by chains
It doesn't matter if your chain is 10 ft or 100 ft
The fact remains the same, you're still bound by chains
Some people say I've changed, and it's harder to relate to me
Good, I never liked you our friendship was make believe
I'm peeling the mask back and
revealing the rap that's been
Feeling my organs drilling short distorted portions
of morbid acid keeps the torture unfortunately crafted
interests to orbit my portrait and inflict my image with disorder
The minutes get shorter, the walls start to close in
Feels like the brain is hanging on by one clothes pin
I've hidden in the darkness for too long
I make it look all right but on the inside it's all wrong
I want life to change but I don't know if it can
for a man or machine or whatever the fuck I am
I stand alone burned every bridge over the trouble water
No longer hiding from my personality disorder
You want to die in my life?
then come and stay in madness' favorite little corner

Cause even shadows have shadows
and my secrets are eating me eagerly feeding
I scream in my dreams away but they keep on defeating me
Even Shadows have Shadows
Welcome to the dusty subconscious of an actor
Who murdered his childhood to stop the audience's laughter
Even Shadows have Shadows
How am I to break free from my fears
When I don't like what I see and I can't feel what I hear
Even Shadows have Shadows
So don't judge my book by it's cover
Cause my story's just fucked up as any other

Eyedea seems like he was one very hurtin' soul. Sad what our world is becoming - much of what he's written is so unfortunately true.

My friend and fellow tradesman, a true master carpenter, Cole Miller, died early this morning.
I spent time with Cole during his last days. Lung cancer claimed his life. I'm happy that his intense suffering is over. He left a legacy of beautiful and precise jobs all around Marin County. I miss you Bro and now you're free, free from from that painful body and your worries. Fly to the sky like an eagle, the great cosmic mystery is your friend and your home.

In honor of my friend Dee who passed away Dec. 4th. She was 46. Dee was a woman of great heart and kindness. Dee never met a stranger.
she was an exceptional mother, daughter and friend.

I will miss her for the rest of my days.

Thank you everyone. I can't help but cry right now knowing she is gone. Catman,her daughter is 20. she was so full of life. She went through some rough times in the last year but she always came through them with a smile and forgiveness. I've never know a more selfless person. She also cut and fixed my hair and always made me feel beautiful. I love her so much.
