Jayson McConnell

For some reason I associate this with him... a friend from Serrano and before I went off the rails. Same with him, shortly before me he showed up to school drunk as a skunk. Then it was off to Phoenix House with him and I never saw him again.



Again I find myself on the verge of tears... nostalgia... why.. why does anything from the past trigger me.... well not anything.... just those things that I hold deep to my teenage years...



Fuck... anything that brings back the nostalgia of the 80's does it for me. Music especially.....



I have one really profound memory in my head of McConnell.... up in his room listening to music, Berlin, Smiths... and him showing an unfinished stipple portrait that he was doing of Jimi Hendrix.



I believe it was for his Dad... Craig(?). Card tricks... he knew card tricks and also had a C64. Borrowed a few games from him, learned a few programming tricks. Poke...
