One of the Blogs that I read regularly has passed away. Rob (a.k.a. Acidman) from http://www.gutrumbles.com// will be creamated on Thursday in Savannah, GA. I'm actually shocked by how sad if feel. Here's a guy I don't know. Have never met. Yet I wish I could attend the service. WTF? Over. Is this just a sign that I need to put down the mouse and back away from the computer? Have I distanced myself from real people and am now surrounded by my internet friends? I seem to remember making fun of those kinds of people. Does this mean I'm going to stop buying real guns and start buying airsoft? I've become one of those internet junkies that actually does take time to pray for my "internet friends" when they post a prayer request. I guess the next step in the internet junkie spiral is pastey white skin, then loosing my job, then having my wife leave me. Then I'll just post about it on ARFcom. I've already stopped using the internet to look at pron like a normal person. I just read my favorite bloggers between refreshing AR15.com. I knew I shouldn't have finished off the beer tonight. I've got to get up in 4 hours. |

I was an also a reader of Rob's blog and no, I don't feel strange at all about how sad I felt when I heard of his passing and neither should you. He was a talented writer and, at least IMHO, a good man who wrote about his life and how he lived it, flaws and all. From that, I developed an enormous amount of respect for him. A fellow human being who you and I both connected with, regardless of how, has died. It's only natural to feel sadness |
as is your spelling and at least I'm only on this trainwreck while I'm working. and I'm not crying over some jackass in nowhereville, undisclosed internet location dying |
well I do have to have some sympathy for him living in that toilet. |
