View of Mendenhall GlacierIt's been almost 3 years since I was in Juneau and I've been meaning to write this post since I started isstevestillalive.com.  Back in July of 2007, I flew up to Juneau, AK with two buddies of mine in order to meet with the Alaskan Brewing Company to discuss some new marketing for their brand.  While we were up there we met some awesome people, ate some amazingly fresh food, had a failed fishing expedition, dog sledded on a glacier, and experienced some of the freshest air I've ever inhaled.

]]>The Loss of a Friendhttp://www.isstevestillalive.com/the-substance/2009/12/5/the-loss-of-a-friend.htmlIs Steve Still Alive?2009-12-05T09:55:55Zrick matulichTwo days ago I found out a friend of mine committed suicide, it really caught me by surprise because he was always outgoing and well liked by everyone that knew him.  I don't think anyone that knew him could think of a negative thing to say about him because he always had a positive vibe and was more than willing to help others.  So when I heard the news I was shocked that someone who seemed happy and willing to take on all the challenges that were put before him, could be feeling so low that he would be willing to take his own life.  It made me wonder how long he had been feeling bad about life and who else I know that could be feeling the same way.  This event has left me wondering if there was anything I or anyone else could have done.  What if I had invited him to Thanksgiving?  What if I called him to see if he wanted to grab dinner or go to a movie?  What if I just called to ask him how life was going?  I'll never know whether something so simple could have prevented what occurred, but I will always wish that I had asked.

I was just looking at Rick's Facebook page, I was checking out all the nice comments people were posting.  Everyone had kind things to say about him, about how he'll be missed and how much he meant to them.  It brought a smile to my face to see all these kind words and to know that the smile I have is shared by all that knew Rick.  However, at the same time it saddened me because it took such a tragic event for all of us to remember how much we appreciated our friend and how often we take for-granted our friends and loved ones.  I'm sending this to all of you because I appreciate you and want to share my appreciation with you.  I encourage all of you to share your own appreciation with all the special people in your lives because you never know, it could be just enough to save someone's life one day.

For most, this is a happy time of year when people bond and families come together to celebrate the holidays . . . for some, this is the loneliest time of the year.  So, please take a moment to contact all the people that play a role in your life, even if it's a simple e-mail or phone call.  If you have trouble thinking of your own words then feel free to forward this e-mail and let them know you're thinking about them.

I'll miss you Rick, you were a good friend to all that knew you.

Let me know if you're in the area and want to meet up.  I'll be staying in the Upper East Side, this will be a nice change and give me a chance to hang out in a different area since I normally stay around midtown or SOHO.  Hopefully the trip is a success and will lead to more trips to NY.

The answer . . . Yes, I seem to be alive. I haven't been seen as much lately because I've spent about 2 months this year in Argentina and about another 2 months between New York, San Francisco, and Texas working on both music and other various projects. I am now back in town and will be reorganizing a few things within Inner Voyage Entertainment, as well as continuing to grow my other venture with the 3Dar VFX Studio out of Buenos Aires.
