[gymnastix]

In a way, Jim & I Gemini, we were in sync , sometimes in the sink, but never in 'N Sync. Away from the music business A way from the muse, sick business. Methadone in our bones Method ownin' our bones. I miss him, miss Jim. Miss Jim Mrs. Jim. Jim misses Jim. Jim misses gym, Miss the gym. Miss the Jim. I miss him--he died, died.

I should have attended this, if it was open to the public.

I didn't even know about it, only found out Jim died two days ago, two years after the fact.

And, at one point in my life, I was so in tune with what my fellow "Catholick Boy" and fellow "Jim" was doing. I had even rewritten and recorded (with my now de-funked band) a parody of "People Who Died," that was played on some college and FM radio stations.
