Alfonso Chapa

I'm kind of in a weird State tonight because I lost and celebrated the life of a good friend among other good friends. Not to go all Dances with Wolves on your asses, but, "Al Chapa you were my friend! You will always be my friend!" "And I don't know if you knew what kind of a hero you were to me. You had such a natural grace and charm and ease with other people. You were the epitome of my high school hero, coseying up to beautiful girls like Lenna Smock and putting your arms so freely around her as you both sang Michelle Ma bell, with your heads together, in our history or sociology class. Whatever it was....... It was like watching a miracle worker show you how it's done." You had such natural charm, and interpersonal ease...and oh so smart. I don't remember a time being with Al that wasn't graceful and full of joy and fun...and wit. I have no bad memories of you my friend. You are a great guy and I'm sorry that I didn't have more time with you before you had to leave. That's all...just wish we'd hung out more. You were f****** awesome dude! ... and I say that without any degree of Shame. Fuckin awesome! I loved you Al! I keep you here and so fondly remembered in my heart and head. Thank you for all the good times your Grace...and Charm ... we must never forget the charm. ;) Please Raise whatever is currently getting you by, maybe even high, especially if you're dry, and that even more especially, given that going on currently...:P Please raise your whatever best suits you, even if a middle finger, to my good friend and the good friend of many others.... Al Chapa! :D <3 <3 You are my friend.
