It's a memory that always comes to mind especially when I talk to JayM....
I was at college and Sean phoned. During the course of the conversation, I guess I was sort of hinting that I may drop out because I was lonely cold and usually only had a big tub of peanut butter to eat from because I would always be late for breakfast/lunch/dinner etc.... He say 'Pappas, just study, do well, eat the peanut butter and shut the fck up.'
Why does this stick out in memory? For me it goes to show his trait of always wanting what was best for the people he cared about... even if it was to his detriment (in this case, Jay and I just left for college fall '93... despite having two less people to terrorize with, Sean insisted we do the right thing and go to school).
Another memory was when he Jay and I went to return a keg in New Hampshire because it was a Sunday and - of course - none of use had any money. When leaving NH, I came across a toll both and slowed enough so the operator could reach his hand out for the toll and kept going allowing the toll operator to chase us a little... eventually I blew out, screeching the brakes, etc. Sean loved this and thought it was very funny probably because he wasn't expecting it and I pretended that nothing happened and this was normal. It made me happy to see him and Jay laugh - probably because all three of us had the same disturbed sense of humor.
I want to start talking about the time we went to see Onyx (bacdafucup!) at the Paradise on Comm Ave, about what happened when Sean went to eat in the MacDonalds that used to be on the corner near the Paradise and about what happened to me when I was creeping around the alleys of the old BU Armory but I'll have to save it for another time... it's getting late. I must have over a hundred of these memories. That time of life for us was like dog years meaning that 7 years of experiences were somehow crammed into a year and are forever anchored in memory. RIP bro
You were very funny and always making people laught. you are deeply missed...I hope you meet with my loved ones one day at the ice cream palor up there i know your looking down on us and watching everyone. you were taken way too young and i often think of how things would be if you were still here with us.
most of my memories of sean are of him laughing and his big bear hugs. i still have a white t shirt off the stuffed dog i had for years but it got so beat up i had to get rid of it but i kept the t shirt i still have it in my drawer it says shiz dog
I REMEMBER YOUR IST BIRTHDAY AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY. SITTING AT THE DININGROOM TABLE WITHJ BALLOONS STUCK TO YOUR HEAD FROM STATIC ELECTRICITY, YOU WERE SO FUNNY
I'll never forget the day that you decided to cross Metropolitan Ave. and Steven told you not to. You did it anyway and got hit by a car. I looked out the window when I heard the brakes screach, and there you were lying in the middle of the street, not moving. I feared the worst. Steven was sitting on the curb say he told you so. It ended up that you broke your femur and they needed to put you in traction for a month. They had to put a pin in your leg and when your doctor came to talk to me before the surgery, he said you wanted to stay awake and watch. I couldn't imagine a 7 year old brave enough to endure that, but you were so excited I couldn't say no. After it was done, you came out of the operating room so excited. I'll never forget what you said " That was so cool! There was smoke and everything." Everyone at the hospital fell in love with you and when they made their kids playroom, they asked if you could pose for the pictures in the paper to advertise it. Here they are cause I still have them.
My most memorable time of my best friend ( my dawg) is when I was out in the street, with no where to go and Sean made me feel like he was also in the same situation, just so he could stay out with me. We sleep in this car that we all called the Hydroplane. It was an abandoned car that we would sit in to stay warm or smoke weedin. That moment I will never forget a true friend in action. He was always there for me. Sometimes I wish I never went to California, maybe things would be different. But I try to just hold on to memories like this one to keep me going. I will never find another friend more genuine that Sean Connolly. I miss you dawg. I will see you when I get there. You are always in my heart & I love you always and forever.
One of the last memories I have of Sean was my friend Sue and I were watching the movie Sleepless in Seattle and every time a song came on during the movie Sean would dance in front of the tv so silly that we couldn't help but laugh even though we wanted to see what was going on. To this day, I can't watch that movie without balling my eyes out.
