Letter to My Friend in Heaven

R.I.P. TO my Brotherly Friend

Tha aka Brandon

1975-2006

I just found out that he had passed away a month ago. I don't know why it took this long for me to find out but I just wanted to inform others that knew him too.

He was a generous individual with everything you name it, food, money, time, advice....everything you expect a friend to be. He was the grandest of friends.

I'm going to miss him and I want you all to know that Life is Just too Short so my motto I picked up on from someone else is just to "Be Kind."

He had the best taste. Everything was for his friends. I had the best Korean, Vietnamese, Lao, and Seafood because of him, tasted the best drinks, went to the best parties at Allure, DF, Nitro Sundays, Crobar, Vision, Buzz. All of us had so much fun everytime. Fuck I'm going to miss him. Clubbing was so much fun because of him. Even though we only met each other most of the time to go out, we spent the wee hours of the morning afterwards in our group of friends we brought together, enjoying the best conversations in some restaurant. That is what I'll cherish.

One day after clubbing and eating we went to the casino in Indiana, it was us four. I was his lady luck at the gamblers table.

He lived life not stressing about small shit as he would say, he knew it was short. People nowadays are hard to find like him.

He always loved the Year of the Rabbit because he was born during this year. He said "Anne, it's the Luckiest Sign.."

Explanation of the year of the Rabbit below:

{1915, 1927, 1939, 1951, 1963, 1975, 1987, 1999}

People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise. They are most compatible with those born in the years of the Sheep, Pig, and Dog.

That's what he was...especially the gambling thing. I had met him in 2002 at a Thaitanium Concert in Chicago at Dragonfly and that was a start of a cool friendship. A month after we became friends, I had flown to Vegas with my parents and who do I see? ....Tha, his gf at the time Justine and a couple of other friends. Coincidence or Destiny...to meet as friends?

Lately I've missed lots of my friends because I'm very focused on my career. It's not that I don't make time, it's that the time is really filled right now. This is one reason I have not seen him in awhile. I just want to take this time to tell my friends who I haven't talked to that I am still here for you. Myspace has really made some people bad at calling, I know I'm one of those people. I do live in the Boondocks but I assure you that I still think of you.

As for a friend that I know is in a better place....
I don't know what's out there but I know what's here in my heart. I miss you and love you Tha even if you'll never see this I'm putting it out there into immensity.

Love ya to the Light,
Anne...............
