 and being able to laugh at the darksides to life is awfully  opposed to childish.  I dont think anyone hear has a personal vendetta against Steve Jobs. well except Jacob, he despises apple. The man was a visionary i use at least one apple product everyday.  I dont think Steve would mind our little laugh at his expense or may his ipod strike my ears now

I do feel a little bad about laughing at some of these posting, which are by the way hilarious, but I agree with what you said. If anything it shows how much of an influence he was on our culture today and I think that says a lot.

reposting this here as well.

The crazy part of this is,JVittitow (Jordan Vittitow) is my neighbor (4 houses down from me) and he had been talking about how Mikey was coming to town (my little town of Portland) and that they were going to shoot some pictures while he was here. He wrote a note on FB about this:

"This has been super tough for me to deal with over the past couple days...A couple of the pictures I took have been used on various news sites, websites, and .com boards...It is just super surreal for me at this point...I've posted on Mikey's FB page, but have yet to post anything on mine...It's been surprisingly rough...Such a great guy and I'm so sorry to see him leave so soon...

You guys may, or may not remember him from a little band called Weezer...He was the bass player on their "Green" album...That album proved to be one of the bands highest selling records ever...so much so that the record companies couldn't even make "gold" plaques for them...it went platinum that fast...

Anyway, this is a brief overview of the time that I spent with Mikey...

So, pretty much about this exact time last week, Mikey was on a plane headed south towards my place just a little north of Nashville...That afternoon when he got in, we met up for dinner and to hang out together, catch up, etc...It was a great night, full of alot o......f great stories and tons of laughs...

On Monday, we spent the entire day together taking pictures and hanging out...The pic I've attached, is one of many that I took during our time together...It was funny, we were driving around looking for cool places to shoot and we drive over this big bridge, with a river flowing under it...He looks out the passenger side window and says "Hey, let's go down there!" I'm like, "uhh, ok."

I pull off and find a place to park and grab my photo gear and we head off thrashing through the woods towards the river below...It was like walking through a jungle getting down there...It was very hot that day, super humid and muddy...but it was worth it...It was pretty funny as we're walking down to the river, he grabs a stick that is basically the size of a 2x4...I give him a "What's that for?" look and he simply replies, "Just in case I see a snake...I hate snakes." and then smiles at me...

We got some cool photos and had fun hanging out by the river that afternoon...The shot of him on the Weezer.com page was taken down there as well...That was actually his favorite one of the day...

Unfortunately, some PR and promo related stuff promopted him to have to leave several days before he had originally planned too...He jumped on a plane Tuesday afternoon for Chicago...

Monday night was the last time I saw him...As he got into his car to leave my house, he looks at me and says "So, we've got a plan for Tuesday, right?" I remember looking at him and said "Of course we do." I gave him a little wink and off he went...

Mikey was a rare, unique and gifted individual...I'm so glad that I was able to call him a friend and I'll certainly miss not having him in this world...

Anyway, here's some photo's...I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did creating it...It's crazy how much I miss this guy right now..."
