I wasn't planning to do another mixtape for a bit, I have done a lot lately. Something haoppened today to change my mind. A friend died, took his own life. Not a close friend, but someone I liked and respected a lot. Someone who had been good to me since I arrived in California. The numbness that followed the news was soon replaced by sadness, celebration of the coolness of the guy, bewilderment that none of his friends were able to present enough good arguments from stopping this from happening, and then anger that it had. Anger in general, and anger at my friend. All those feelings are somewhere in the mixtape, which is made with all those elements included, but mostly with love. The tracks all mean something in relation to my friend. Sometimes I will explain, sometimes I won't. Sometimes it should be evident.

	Track 1 from Diva Length: 00:04:54 Year: 1992
	Track Description: One of the big questions of the day. We speculate but nothing is really achieved. Annie Lennox does have this way of soothing the soul with that incredible instrument of hers, even on a sad song like this one. The song ends and the speculation continues... SHOW LESS
5	The Smiths : I Want the One I Can't Have
	...Most people have felt like this at some point. We all deal with things in a different way. SHOW MORE

	Track 5 from Nevermind Length: 00:04:16 Year: 1991
	Track Description: Depression is a fucking monster that visits most. I had this minor rage for a time that Kurt Cobain had somehow made suicide glamorous. A stupid idea, which ended up with me just being pissed off because there would be no more Nirvana. Music fans are shiteheads sometimes. SHOW LESS

	Track Description: Once at the Friday night open mike, we had something of a jazz jam going on. My friend said he didn't know much about music, but he knew he liked this. I don't treally know what his musical tastes were. When we met we either talked about acting, or told jokes. I think he would have liked this though. SHOW LESS
