a huge inspiration and influence for you, somebody you WISH was your dad, someone who feels like he IS your dad.
For me, Kurt Cobain, Shannon Hoon, and Layne Staley. They are all second fathers to me, I love you all, I miss you all the time. Kurt- Never fade away. I have nothing but love and respect for you, and I hope you have reached your nirvana. Layne- Hope you have been freed from your chains, out of the box- I hope you're in heaven, happier than ever, and with Demri once again. Shannon- you keep me dreaming, boy- and you're always there when I wake. Thank you.
Sorry for the emotional little thing there, but that's how you're supposed to feel about second fathers. Dare you to post yours.

Holy shit, are you kidding me!?!? It hasn't been defined yet!?!?! WELL! Shannon was truly one of the greatest musicians ever to live, a real inspiration. His music was transcendental, he could change your mood with a song. His voice was opaque, poignant belittling amazement. Go listen to "No Rain" and "Change" by Blind Melon. You will be hooked. And check out the lyrics below, you will love them. Shannon had a daughter named Nico Blue, but unfortunately, she lost her daddy to drugs in 1995- she was a month old. And the world lost an inspiration and an idol, a second father to all. Rest in peace, Shannon. We all love you, and miss you. You are never forgotten for a day. You keep me dreaming, boy.
Change, by Shannon Hoon.
I don't feel the suns comin' out today
its staying in, its gonna find another way.
As I sit here in this misery, I don't
think I'll ever see the sun from here.
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and say, and they'll say,
Hey look at him! I'll never live that way.
But that's okay
they're just afraid to change.
When you feel your life ain't worth living
you've got to stand up and
take a look around you then a look way up to the sky.
And when your deepest thoughts are broken,
keep on dreaming boy, cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.
And as we all play parts of tomorrow,
some ways will work and other ways we'll play.
But I know we all can't stay here forever,
so I want to write my words on the face of today.
and then they'll paint it
And oh as I fade away,
they'll all look at me and they'll say,
Hey look at him and where he is these days.
When life is hard, you have to change.
No Rain, by Shannon Hoon.
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin' the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
and speak my point of view
But it's not sane, It's not sane
I just want some one to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape
escape......escape......escape......
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
ya don't like my point of view
ya think I'm insane
Its not sane......it's not sane

the name of a sandwich sold at Shaw's (?) that my dad bought on a road trip once. He was really, really, really hungry, and got all excited cause that was all they had to eat, and he bit into it, and the lettuce was wilted, tomatoes gross... you get the point. He completely lost it, and screamed that he would get revenge, lol!!!!
Poor Boy Sandwich. I just told you up there. True story!
some singer dude that my dad threw his underwear at for a good laugh on a business trip, lol. True story! It was the night I was born, no joke.
Tom Jones was part of my birth story. xD
