A few things about my friends . . . Kev.

Kev used to have the shittiest luck of anyone I've ever known. His car caught fire on the way back from VA Beach, and once the flames were extinguished he was left standing with an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth. No one had a light.

I believe his camera and some photo albums were stolen from the back of his charred Escort that night after he had it towed 101 miles to behind his apartment in Richmond, VA.

He's an incredible photographer. Shit luck.

Kev once pissed off the garage roof of the home I grew up in. I had already snuck back in through the window. Kev first peed onto a metal trashcan lid as I whispered, frantically, through the cracked window, "SHUT UP, man . . . you're gonna wake up my parents!" Our basset hound, Jessie, came to the garage's edge to see what was up, and Kev inevitably pissed on her too.

I was laughing aloud to myself yesterday thinking of something that Kev used to do that drove me nuts and embarassed me a bit. When buying something, after the clerk would ring it up and tell Kev the price, he would pause for a second, consider carefully, then exclaim something to the extent of, "Ok! I'll take it. It's a deal."

I texted him about this today, and he replied that he had just done it again this AM. It's a crack up.

Kev's ex-wife makes his brother vomit. She makes us all vomit. Kev's a trooper.

Kev has the most bizarre dreams of anyone i've ever known. I'm pretty sure he told me once of how his entire dream was in reverse.

Kev's a great guy, and I can't think of anyone who knows him that would disagree.

There was some quote I heard recently about truth and legend. I don't remember the quote but basically it said if the legend is better don't bother correcting it.

Are you referring to your legendary status . . . or did i get the facts wrong?

Cheers to you, dude.

Agreed about Kevin's legendary, and unlucky status.
