Fuck it, I'll just write directly to him. Why be coy.... actually at the end of the entry from nearly 2 years ago I kinda say it all:
 
With this song I get to move onto the next chapter with new people, new partners, and to be honest - a far more talented and experienced base to build this company off of. I do miss my old friends, but I'm pretty sure they don't miss us. You can only beg so many times before you let go. The kids still ask. That hurts. The sad part is? The person who this is about will never see it, has never cared about me or The Journey, has never seen me as anything but a stepping stone. Years of opportunities to actually talk to me about working together never occurred. He just took my shit, inserted himself without asking and, well, now finds himself on the outside. It sucks 'cause I like him. It sucks 'cause our families got along great. It just SUCKS. I even forgave him for all that, offered him a percentage and he vanished.

 

And now after 2025 he lost actual, real, tangible money. And amazing adventures and honestly? I'd have loved to have his input because I thought he was a friend and I liked how his brain worked. I OFFERED HIM A PERCENTAGE AND HE GHOSTED. My kids. What in the actual fuck. Yeah, fuck I still need to write more...
 
Dude,
 
I don't get it man - I honestly do not understand how both you AND your wife (err, they never married) could just GHOOOOOST. What exactly did we do? Hold you accountable for doing THE slimiest shit ever? It's like fogiving someone for cheating on you, mending the relationship - and then they leave after you got in a car accident. My fuck dude. And I know you guys are going through it right now. I know your struggles, I could have helped, we could've been an incredible team... but the one thing you could never have been? Is Hef. An honorable, honest man who has actual, real contacts in this world that are willing to help because HE'S willng to help. Sheeeeeeit that dude is such a badass HE REINVESTED HIS MONEY BACK INTO THE FUCKING COMPANY because he believes in it.
 
You stole 30% of a production budget for getting ONE meeting. How, short-sighted. What, $2k? Fucking hell dude. It was a 6 figure year... I'm angry FOR YOUR FAMILY. They support you and your dreams and... you repeat ad infinitum just how unlucky you are. GOD that used to make me crazy dawg - for the 4 years we hung out, you must have brought up your bad luck every, single, time. Never once accepting the fact that just maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe you make REALLY FUCKED UP choices and you NEVER reflect on them. Your story sits in my fucking heart and probably will forever. My kids however finally stopped asking. Finally.
 
And my dumbass would STILL TAKE YOUR CALL and hope you're alright. FUCK ME. I've had marriages break-up with less baggage dude. UGH.

 

Anyway, it was super fun redoing the song though... (lol)
 
 
Tin Pan Alley is the fucking best dude. Goddamn I love the production of that song. HOW FUN would it be to play that on a big stage!!! AHHHHH. Man I'm in the right town - I have to figure out a way to make this happen.
