7/21/2009

After a while, I decided to clean up my act and stop getting wasted, but a lot of my friends just kept going full force. I don't blame them--doing drugs with your friends is so fun. Seriously, most of the best memories of my life have been on drugs or being drunk. We were wild children running around the city. Those were the good old days. Dash, Dan Colen, and I were like the three stooges. We were bad, bad boys. Terrorizing the city and documenting everything.

-Excerpt, REMEMBERING DASH SNOW by Ryan McGinley

I really liked reading this– people love mystery, especially shrouded in conflict, drama, and symbols of reckless abandon. The best way to say it was that the man was the art, and for which he will be remembered best. I always wonder what remember this and this time will be like when I'm a bit older– this all has me thinking about death and aging.
