i have a friend, juice.
she is one of those people.
you know, always doing a million awesome things; working in her community, being a great artist, caring for her friends, working with troubled youth, inspiring everyone around her.
she's amazingly out-going, loud, friendly, caring, and really just a damn good person.
frankly, i don't know how she does it.
juice has been through a lot of shit in her life.
maybe that's why she makes the most of hers.
she has seen a lot of shit too.
she has seen some her many friends in; horrible car accidents, in jail, die of disease, and just plain give up on life... but juice ain't like that.
she never ever loses herself.
she is so outgoing, and always looking to the bright side.
she's getting married later this month.
it's gonna be a sweet party.
juice spends about 10 hours everyday pouring her soul into a community youth program in the phillips neighborhood of minneapolis. she really loves those fucking kids.
that's how she ended up on the bridge.
coming back from a field trip with the kids.
get well soon, juice.
we need you.

i've been thinking a lot in the last couple weeks about bad shit happening not just to "good" people, but REALLY GOOD people -- people who really care and give and have pure hearts and pure motives, and don't let life turn them into cynics and assholes.
julie is a great person.
get well.
Hey, Spencer. I don't know you very well, and I don't know Julie at all, but I was really touched by this. This is the kind of tribute that the good ones should get to hear, but unfortunately most people don't get one until their funeral. So I'll be praying for Julie, I hope she gets better soon, and I hope you let her read this.
No way, I worked with her last year. She is wonderful, and I wish her the best - get better soon Julie!
*THAT* was a beautiful tribute to your friend Juice. She sounds super cool and will send her good juju to get better. We need more Juice in this world!
