Such an interesting human being!

I was intimidated by Raphael until I got to know him. He is honest, intelligent, artistic, hard-working, shy, eloquent, crafty, observant, opinionated, spiritual, not easily amused, and fucking real. It is rare for me to connect with another human being as complex as myself.

I miss you....
A lot.
You are and always will be one of my dearest and most loved friends. I know it's cheesy, but you really don't know how beautiful you truly are......but I do.
Thank you for everything.

I had to go through a break-up recently. As much of a public smile I put on, I was hurting on the inside. Well guess who messaged me out of the blue and asked how I was doing? Raphael!

We'd been friends before that, but up to that point we weren't that close. So after I tell him what was going on with me he tells me to grab my hoops and come over. It's like 10pm on a tuesday or something! I drag myself out ot the house and head over to the island. Nobody there but Raph. When I get there he turns on the house system and fuckin' DJ's just for me for hours and hours into dawn light. I hooped and hooped and hooped until i could sweat no more. On my morning drive home I realized how much better I felt.

Damn! Fuckin' Raph knew exactly what i needed and was there for me when I needed it.... love you bro.

Raphael has taught me the meaning of intellectual exquisiteness. And I had found in him a very solid unshakable core, a honest human being with a pure heart, and a drive for the highest excellence.

I had only pleasurably stimulating conversations when in his presence, eradicating the meaningless words, and changing my perspective in life, art and dreaming.

These facts, added to a strong personality, a witty humor, a poignant mouth, and a sharp edge might make your foundations shake, so be ready to expand in his presence, and learn more about who you really are.

I love him, I respect his art, and all the ways with which he contributes and support our family. He creates to make an impression. And made a strong one in my soul.

Love you pirate.

A master @ the art of slipping away.
Yet a genius when he allowz otherz to realize it.
A simple man with dreamz bigger then yer ass.
& a brain that tellz him the roachez R coming.
1 of 2 people I look up when there standing on the Wench & i'm not.
Raphael kickz ass. Amazing structures leach from this manz head.
An arsenal of party possibilityz & design not even the devil can touch.
I'm glad U popped into the picture, we needed a new pirate.
We salute U Rapha....& all yer........I got nuthin..?
