I've listened to you and Twitch for about a year now and I feel like I almost know the two of ya. I know from hearing you speak so fondly of him, so often, that you loved Brian with all you had. Thank you for being an advocate in so many important areas...it's nice to know there are people that care so deeply, yet make me laugh with constant sarcasm. The way you and Twitch take jabs at each other, knowing it's not going to end your friendship/work relationship cracks me up. Anyway, just saying it's nice to see the "softer" side of MJ:) RIP Brian.

I feel ya, mj!  9/11/05 I lost my 23 year old nephew to a drug overdose, and I'm telling his story to everyone!  Hopefully someone will realize that the damage done is not just to themself, but to the ones left behind when they're gone!  Thanks for sharing your story.

this is a way too common thing to hear about these days.I have known way too many good people that are gone forever,methadone and zanax mixtures took my two best friends in the world,for what! Now today I see a 21 year old guy I used to work with in the obituaries. 21! there was no cause of death given so with a couple of phone calls I found he overdosed monday night on guess what? a mixture of methadone and sedatives. So much pain for so many people. For what!

     I lost my 20 year old sister to a car wreck,that was very hard but that was an accident. I am 35 years old and couldnt even say how many fucking funerals ive been to.Thats a shame. The worst shame of all though is looking at the families at the funeral home and knowing how utterly senseless this is. Please Please,dont make the  same mistakes so many others have. This is not coming from a do-gooder that just says no. I party I enjoy myself when I can and I dont judge anyone for doing the same, Just please be careful I dont want to see you in the paper!
