we only said goodbye with words

11 April 2007

when i had my first concious loss of an idol of sorts

long live kurt vonnegut (in the minds, hearts, hands, and eyes of many)!

wow. this is the first time that someone i love (in a creative sense, i mean. writer, musician, lo que sea) has died and i am old enough to remember/understand it. i remember when george harrison died, but i wasn't a beatles fan yet back then. but this time around, i can actually feel the loss, you know? lord. lord lord lord.

he just seemed so immortal. i mean, he is, in a sense. because i'll always have his words (which are basically just an extended limb of his own person) on my shelf and in my head.

so it goes.

i am in love with regina spektor.
