Such a sad day. Feel sick in my stomach. Today please send your love wishes and prayers to Dash's family. I just can't believe it. For those of you who didn't know Dash, he was one of the sweetest people on earth.

DASH SNOW RIP
If you want to read about Dash, here is the infamous NY MAG article.
Love love. My heart goes out to everyone back in New York who is suffering today. We'll miss you buddy.

Dash Snow died of a heroin overdose. This is a self inflicted death. He's got a little 2 year old daughter that he has now left behind to be fatherless. Imagine if your father chose heroin over a life with you. Would you miss him? Was he unaware of the possible and very likely consequences of heroin or was he such a narcissist that he cared only about himself?
The typical result of a spoiled rich kid trying too hard to prove he's an artist, that he's just like the common people. He should have gotten over this stage in his teens.
He had a reason to change and he chose death.
The only person I feel sorry for is Secret. Fucking prick.
I hear you and I am angry too. Being a junkie is about as selfish as it gets. But nonetheless he was a dear soul and a friend and inspiration to so many people, and he has passed. We should honor his life, however irresponsibly it may have ended. And I don't care how much money someone has- it has nothing to do with anything.
I'm hurt by this and can't imagine what his closest friends and family must be feeling. As someone who has lost two sisters early in life, I personally feel that none of that matters. It's love, its life its death... and he will be missed.
RIP to a Downtown icon with a heart of gold.
My best friend passed away from a heroin overdose a few years back and losing someone to drugs/addiction (which IS a disease) is fucking complicated as shit. There's way too much that goes into a person's life as an addict (including when in recovery) to simplify any of it. It's a big duh that for addicts "selfishness is the root of [their] problems." I was fucking pissed beyond belief that my friend picked up the dope that killed him, but it's just too complex. Aviva, you're right on with what you said up there. And I'm with you that in my opinion money is irrelevant. So are reasons to stop using--when someone's really sick in their disease all the rationale in the world can't make them stop. RIP DS, I hope people continue to honor his work and his memories and can it with the negativity.
Thanks Jmarx. I've been blue for two days which is weird because I didn't expect to cry over this so much. I'm trying to write something about Dash but it's really hard to write about this stuff. Its bigger than him, it's what he represented. A piece of New York is gone, at least the New York I loved. Thanks for putting some love on here.
It's depressing when people piss on his grave anonymously. Give his friends a chance to feel it, you know? This is real life, not your livingroom. The world isn't about you. Anyhow, stay tuned. xo
