my first concert i went to in the 7th grade and i went with my best friend at the time..duane rohlfs. yes that same guy that killed himself with my other friend chris kelley. my mother actually took duane and i to go see the jgeils band. we were so young we were not even druggy friends yet. we thought it was neat to go the bathroom and piss on the wall when they played that song. this was actually weird to see this post because i was just looking at his picture on the straights site and talking about it with my wife last night. i remember after straight, when they pulled me out of class to tell me about the suicide i was angry, especially when i found out the details and how much they hurt everyone they left behind through the notes left, etc etc. i also remember that i started lifting weights the next day and had a renewed sense of wanting to live and to be strong. i remember feeling that day that i would fucking make it no matter what. When, and there have been many times, i have seen fellow friends take their own lives or be killed, i always say this and it is because of that day when they told me duane and chris were dead. "GET BUSY LIVING YOUR OWN LIFE BECAUSE HOW YOU LIVE IT WILL BE AN ATTESTMENT TO HOW THEY LIVED THEIRS" to me this means doing the best i can so they did not live for nothing.
