THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

He was the coolest one out of everybody, the one we all wanted to be like.  It’s hard to understand people’s insecurities when you look up to them so much, but a lot of those guys would drink whatever they could get their hands on.  It’s a roll of the dice.  At this point I’ve kind of lost count of how many friends I’ve lost, it’s almost more strange to have survived it.

He was the life of the party.  He didn’t care where you came from or who you were; he was just the nicest person in the world.  But Justin and Harold were set free, in a way, after the movie.  I’m not one to hold Larry or the film responsible, but I loved them both dearly, and they fell to addiction and depression.
