It is with the deepest and most heartfelt sorrow that I have to pass these words along. James Garrison is dead, he walked ahead to whatever world there is beyond this one and I’m sure he is giving them just as much hell as he gave us. And although James is no longer with us, it brings me great joy to announce that The motherfawkin Garrison is still with us. Fawkem.
You reach certain points in your life that in order to move beyond them you have to sit back and flip through a few chapters of the life you’ve led, reflect inward and through this rediscover yourself. Sometimes it takes a little longer to read between the lines but eventually you get there. That is once you begin to question your views, perspectives, and then question yourself as to why they are what they are. When that happens, it’s time to question why you’re questioning.
Somewhere in the middle of sifting through all this bullshit you might find a semblance of truth although the older you get the harder it becomes to tell yourself lies. Which btw thanks for all the birthday wishes, all 14 of you rock. So here I am with the product of my invisibility. There is so much shit I want to say, but I’m sure you have stuff to do like work and not read this. So this post will be short. I want to leave you with one powerful thought for right now.
The only thing that will make you feel better about tomorrow is what you do today. Never be afraid to sacrifice what you were for what you will become, never negotiate with yourself as you will always lose and never forget that sometimes darkness is the best reminder of light.
Btw – For the slower folk… Yes this means I am alive.

So good to hear from you!! Your FB posts have been sorely missed! I was just browsing your FB pages today to look for any sign of life. Welcome back. And don’t pull that crap again- making us think you were dead

Dude! I was just thinking of you yesterday, wondering how you are doing, what you’re up to, etc. My heart sank when I read the opening of your post, then smiled with joy at the end! Good to hear from you guy!!
I have a question….WHAT HAPPENED!? Might be rude, but I think anyone that doesn’t have daily interaction with you wants to know.
Dude i was almost in tears but since i know how you are (fighter and survivor) i waited to finish reading your message… I am glab you are back… Love always…

Awesome to hear from you!!! Somehow I knew that whatever ‘stuff’ kept you quiet, you would be back stronger once you worked it out. Can’t wait to read what The Garrison has to say!
Sorry I missed your birthday James. Happy Birthday dude! I wish you nothing but health and continued success in 2012 and know that you are an inspiration to me and thousands of others. I am sorry you have had to battle through so much adversity but I know you can handle it. You have great blog posts and keep it real. I am looking forward to keeping up with you and I thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Rob G.
That sucked just about as much as the day my friend told me he had terminal cancer…on April Fools Day. :/
James, I just watched you on Extreme Makeover. I know you are battling with a lot from what came from the show and for that I truly am sorry. But on a different note, I have to tell you that your episode will be the one that motivates me to loose my weight. I live in Austin, TX and am 150lbs overweight. I am a single father. I have 3 children. I have to do this. And your story is something that will help drive me to do what I need to do. Thank you for taking the risk you took and I pray that you are well and in good spirits.
