"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." - Benjamin Button

None More Negative

One year later and I still cant believe it. This past year has crawled by like a bad dream. I hope you understood the impact that you had on the lives of some of your fans because your death has left us crushed. Now with no new Type O Negative on my horizon I sit here sad and angry. Sad and angry that you're gone while I'm still here. Sad and angry over how unfair it is that you helped save me but there was nothing that I could do to help save you. After all, I was just a fan. A fan that never had the privilege of knowing you personally but cared for and respected you as if I had. Like many others, I looked upon you not just as one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time but also as a hero. And like many others, I don't want the ride to be over. In this stage of my denial I lose myself in the band that sustains me in my darkest hours. The band that played a major role in my decision not to self destruct out of existence. Thank you Peter, Josh, Kenny, Johnny, and Sal for helping to save my life with all those years of musical perfection. As all of us Type O fans know, music will never sound that good again.
