Fuck You, Jon.



Fuck you, Jon. Fuck you, my little brother. Is this how you get me to write a song for you? You know I will.

But not yet. I'm still kind of numb. I can't even find Plotnik today, he's here I know, waiting for me to summon him up, but things are a little fuzzy. It's raining again.

I've got to finish a project by this afternoon and tomorrow we leave for Hawaii and I guess you're not in any hurry now, are you? So Fuck you, Jon. I didn't think you could break my heart like this after so many years, but I was wrong.

We saw a play last night called 'Happiness' that is one of the most unrelentingly depressing things I've ever seen. A fat, balding 54 year old with bad teeth whining about how he can't get any sex. I wanted to strangle him. But my mood isn't exactly Aces in the hole.

You know I loved you. You know Barb loved you. You know, right? Especially now?

Danny, your Godson, told me last night about when he was 14 and came to spend a week with you and Bonnie in New York, and the first thing you said to him was: "So, kid, you ever seen any porn?" Proving there is a God.

Bronnie says your house in Oregon seemed like the coolest spot on Earth. Luckily, kids don't see the mold under shiny rocks.

Uncle Bobby wrote me yesterday and said: "I'll remember Jon best back when we all owned the world." We did, too.

Aloha, you fool. You fat fuck. You fabulous friend. This one's gonna take me awhile.

Hi Dodger Doug-

I'm so sorry to read about your brother, and your obvious pain. I've been struggling with the big questions lately, and realized that I felt a lot better if I just didn't think about them, but you can't do that when something like this happens, can you? Take care of yourself, if that is even possible in a time like this.

With sympathy,
Kristin

Oh, Dougo ~ I'm so sorry. This is a
beautiful eulogy. Nothing to say to
ease your pain, of course, but I would if I could.

Oh, Plotnik. This is painful, beautiful and went straight to the heart and bottomless spring of tears. I'm so, so sorry. I hope you'll share the song.
