never enough time to get anything halfway done

These are the words exchanged between Terrin Durfey of Boilermaker and I. It's just a sparse brush of the shoulder with a musician I looked up to and eventually familiar being, regardless of how short that contact. However, I never got to meet him and I still regret not going to that fundraiser every day of my life. So, in my weird way of trying to desperately save my memories, here is that exchange.

the first message I got after he messaged a profile I 'managed' called midwestmo. it basically featured a brand of 90s punk that I love and Terrin was apart of.

"thanks dude for the nice words. and thank you for your concern. my wife and i really appreciate it.

it looks like you and your friends are into some nice music. i like the westemo.

again thank you so much.

sincerely

terrin durfey"

START THIS MESSAGE FROM THE END. I'LL PUT QUOTES AROUND IT. SORRY, IM NOT GOING TO TRY AND EVEN EDIT IT RIGHT NOW. ITS A MYSPACE MESSAGE.

"sorry about that i didn't see your last message. we have a show at the avalon which is 21 and up and a show in ventura on wednesday the 20th at a place called the majestic. i don't know if it is all ages or not. i'll try to check my messages again before then. it's hard to keep up with emails while on tour i apologize.

hey omar what's happening.

don't even worry about the fundraising. nothing is in the works and good positive thoughts are plenty enough. things are going great so many people came out to help (almost too much if that's possible) don't even feel bad for a second.

i'll be up in your area next month playing in pinback. we are playing the glass house in pomona and the avalon in hollywood.

kick ass in high school. put everything you've got into it. i regret slacking my senior year i should have put in more effort. my grades weren't bad at all but they could have been alot better. good to hear from you take it easy until next time.

later
