so there was this one night in highland park... tom, jue and i hit this old laundry mat. as usual, tom is doing a huge straight letter fill. all of a sudden jue says "oh fuck, cop..." and dips. tom looks at him, shrugs and says "fuckin pussy..." as we watch the cop slowly drive by. i figured fuck it... since tom is staying then im just gonna finish... every time we drove by that spot afterwords we would laugh our asses off... there was a finished TOM, my hollows around the whole building, and then there was a J and half of a U... he just thought that was the funniest shit ever! thats how the kid was though man... he was fearless and it made you fearless. i always felt invincible when i was out with him... he was my brother... in and out of the streets. he always had an open door to me and a couch to crash on... even though i was there 3-4 nights a week. he told me that i was welcome to stay anytime... and believe me, i took him up on that shit. looking back, im glad i did... i got to spend more time with him then pretty much anyone else during the last 6 months and for that i will always be thankful. he was honestly the best man i have ever met in my life... and the world is a little bit darker without him. i miss you big guy... you better be waiting for me at the gates with a 40 when i get there... and ill be ready for you to laugh at me cuz you know i aint gonna be able to finish it. i might physicaly be painting alone now, but i know youre gonna be there with me having my back. tomorrow is gonna be rough, but i know youll be smiling down on us. see ya around man. or as youd say... "toodles" god youre such an asshole... lol! anyways, i love you brother.
