It's that time...

Super Duper Paratrooper! It's that time of the year so I stopped off to drop you a little something. Heather Vandeven wishes you a Happy 35th Birthday. Of course, I told her you're only 29. Again.

: )



See you when I see you, if not sooner.............

Super's first trip to Vegas

Got in the night before JC and the Mudvayne concert at the Hard Rock Casino (see earlier story/posting)




Met these chicks inside at the Nine Fine Irishmen at the NY-NY Casino




Met this chick outside the Nine Fine Irishmen







Met this chick late-late that night at the Hard Rock Casino





Good 'ol Super- the out-going, party with everyone, could be the mayor of every town he visits, guy that always made going out to hang a great time.

-Jeffy Chaucer (hey, I took pretty good pics for once)

Pictures I have been promising for awhile...

These are already up on Facebook (all but one)...

Out in San Diego 11/05 for a make-up NIN concert. Super is camera friendly...

This was the third attempt at getting a picture together...finally a decent one : )

...second attempt...Jeff is still awed by the carpet...

...first attempt...Jeff likes the floor...

Mario, myself, and Frank - at a party in Ahwatukee, early 2000. This was the first picture of us.

Mario and I in San Diego for the NIN concert, 09/05

You tell Mario to behave and...

...you better hope you get 2 pictures quick before he does the latter, haha.
At The Venetian in Las Vegas pregaming it before the Convention.

Mario, myself, and Jeff - at the Marquee Theatre in Tempe AZ for NIN, 05/05.

There weren't any captions, but use your imagination on the 1st and the 3rd and you'll be O.K. : )

UW-Whitewater vs. Oshkosh. Mario is in the long-sleeve white shirt on the left.

UW-Whitewater Lacrosse Team, Spring 1995, at UW-Oshkosh. Mario is third from the left in the back row, in his Detroit Red Wings Hat. He played defense and loved to get under the skin of opposing team attackmen.

A year goes by

Today, more than any other in a long while, I reflect upon the last year and what it has meant to me. It's still so hard to imagine that Super is no longer here. Yes, he's definitely here in spirit. And yes, his voice laughs like Tyler Durden in my head. And yes, sometimes I think he's watching me (and it freaks me out, in a funny sort of way.) "I know Super, I know, I should use something better than Jergens. I'm on it." :] But there are also days where I feel like I'm in a perpetual dreamlike state - and it's only a matter of time before I snap out of it and come back to the real world and see my friend again.

Alas, this is reality. Though I do mourn in my own way, I think my psyche has actually stepped it up a notch in response to Mario's death. I'm beyond the point of feeling sad for me, I only feel sad for Mario. I don't want to be selfish anymore, I want to acknowledge the things he's not here to do anymore. The things he loved doing, the things that made him laugh, and the things that made him the person he was. The person he always will be. Once again, I find myself staring in the mirror with that mantra, "hey, he's doing *everything* he wants to do now. Get over it, Justin."

I have little reminders tacked throughout my day to day that help keep his name nearby, such as a couple Super Mario miniatures, custom Oakleys, custom Nikes, a photo, and some of his old tees. He's every bit of motivation and inspiration as I would expect him to be. And yet, he still makes me smile. You have to admit that he was pretty bold. Thanks so much Mario, for being such a good friend to me. You're in my thoughts more than you know. Keep your eyes open brother, if all the rest of my years fly right on by as fast as this one...it won't be long before we're laughing it up together again. Love 'ya man. (And yes, I know exactly what you would say to that, haha...)

One Year Anniversary Ink For Super

55424 is the final mileage on Super's bike.  As you can probably notice, the tat is written backwards, as seen in the picture with the reverse image in the mirror.  I got the tat with Justin when I visited AZ in early January, prior to going out to Cali to spread Super's ashes.

MarioTV: Don't know how much of a fan Super was...

...but I am sure he would have respected the music/artist of MJ. Here is one of the top pop culture moments of all time - for all of us old enough to have remembered watching it.

Motown 25: Michael Jackson: Billie Jean

The first ever appearance of the "moonwalk" can be seen around the 3:40 mark.

Art by Super...the Frassetto trade mark



This is something Super designed.  He liked it so much that he had it framed and hung up in his room. Not exactly sure when it was made. This pic was also found on Mario's myspace, and I took a pic of his original that I have. -Jeffy Chaucer

Pics of Super...

and me, Chauce.  I won't elaborate on what is or isn't going on, it's an after party...JC, you were there.

-Jeffy Chaucer


Kids, this is why you don't use drugs.

Mario quite liked this vid...you get to see the real side of Vegas.

Some videos have been removed

from the source, mostly from You Tube, just to give you a heads up.  The link to the video is provided until we are able to post a suitable replacement.  Thanks. -Jeffy Chaucer.

WSUP Radio: All That You Are

Mudvayne : All That You Are



Repeating in my head
Betrayal
Repeating in my head
Insecurities
Repeating in my head
Dividends

It's not your fault
The well of thought and trust has run dry
Don't be afraid to let go
Don't be afraid to start over when it's over

Let go
Let go
Let go
Let go

Let go of feelings
Let go of compromise
Hollow trunk for shelter
So dark and cold inside
I always seem to find myself alone
Jaded shell of being
Porous as a stone

Calloused
Rigid
Empty
Because of you

Let go of trusting
Lost thought for family
Let go of living
No more concerns of demise
I never seem to find rhythm for life's harmony

Contorted
Twisted broken
Without a reason

Calloused
Rigid
Empty
Because of you

It's all me
All you are
Without me
There's nothing else
There's no one

Brainwash
All you are
Without me
You're by yourself
There's no one

Hope is out of season
Lost sight
No hint of light
Get busy living or get busy dying

Calloused
Rigid
Empty
Because of you

It's all me
All you are
Without me
There's nothing else
There's no one

Brainwash
All you are
Without me
You're by yourself
There's no one

Save me
This loss
Closure my
Answer
So grant it

You owe me all that you are
Without me
You're nothing
You're no one

Terrified
Petrified

Nothing
You're no one
Do you care because I don't
Nothing
You're no one
Nobody cares so just go

Nothing
You're no one
By yourself all alone

It's all me
All you are
Without me
You're by yourself
There's no one

Brainwash
All you are
Without me
You're by yourself
There's no one

Save me
This loss
Closure my
Answer
So grant it
You owe me all that you are
Without me
You're nothing
