Josh is a paradox. He is as mystical and spiritual as he is a tall white rapper. His talents are many and his heart is unending with warmth for new people, experiences, and joy. He is a beautiful cook and is a great host. He is comfortable at a formal dinner affair and will charm all the ladies as much as he can sit on a curb and sip Guinness. During my most maniacal and frantic moments, Josh gives the gift of simplicity and loving care that I value so highly. I love you Josh! You are the best.

this man is for real.

i know i know. y'all know that already. but do ya KNOW that already? i remember a day when i first met him- and i had to say to myself~ is this guy for real? not possible. i had to question the reality of his verisimilitudinous nature.

and then i got to know him better. and then i kept meeting more and more people that already knew him better... and eventually i realized that i didn't doubt him anymore. i realized that i have yet to hear anyone give me good reason to think less of him. there are very few people i take at face value. even fewer that i trust to do their best at being their best... i could probably count on my fingers the number of people in my life that have inspired a feeling of true trust.

Joshua is one of those people. when he's got something to say- i listen. his opinions have substance. when i'm lucky enough to get some face time with him i feel wise opening my heart without fear of catching a blade in my back or a sneer in my face. having him in my life feels like a missing piece of the puzzle has fallen into place. thanks for tapping into the flow and being a friend.

B to the RI, D- G- E
is the only style of masonry who's down with me
he's got the looniest rhymes
he writes all the time
making music every minute like chicago windchimes
he's a sacred geomterical symmetrical man
with a love for the Earth and a preference for Japan
he is the yin and the yang
there is nobody sicker
he's got a briefcase with a public enemy sticker
and it doesn't take liquor to get him dancing on the tables
stables of horsepower keep him relentlessly able
to make friends, rock the mike, and influence peeps
to keep their minds and hearts racing, never let them sleep
so if you have the good fortune to meet The Bridge
give him lots of love, not just a smidge
and you will get the love back a hundredfold
cause I'll be sitting by The Bridge till I'm gray & old
