Pat,
There's no way to know where to go from here. It seems to me I've been thinking about it all these years you've been gone, like there was some big mystery out there coming for me. But the longer I sit here and wait for it the more I realise that it's never going to be the same. That it was up to me to go and dispel the myth of it myself, that having realised that, it's like my feet are stuck in cement and I can't move. You know Chris has kids now, a boy and a girl and you'd love them. Tamer than we were when we were little. I look at them and think that maybe Chris had it figured out a long time ago. That he went searching and figured out that there's just some old man behind a curtain pulling ropes and levers. Sometimes I want to ask him about it, but I can't bring myself to do it. What would he think I wonder? Who would be the failure then?
Pat,
Couldn't sleep again last night. It's been like that lately, don't know why really. Haven't really been bothered by it for a while, so it's back to the ceiling watch and
the numbers and the remembrances of fates I've lost. Why do I do that do you suppose? Just like I think of you.
I put Matt Good up with Gord Downie for his writing.

Weapon and Advertising on Police Cars are two of the best songs I have heard Matt Good do live. I've seen Weapon done live three times and it seems like its the last of his "old" songs that he just does not hold back on.
This era of Matt is the Matt Good I miss. The one who just let everything out and didn't overcalculate what he wanted to say or try to justify it with his mental state. He said what went through his head and rocked the eff out.
