Is he dead yet now? [View all]
Everyone knows who "he" is.
I am crying right now thinking about the unfairness of the world, the swift pasage of time in our lives and the status of the human race. This community is mourning the loss of one of its truly impactful contributors with the passing of longtime member SalmonEnchantedEvening (SCE, Bob). He was a beacon of sanity and levity in a world of sewage and despair. He sought only to bring a smile to the faces of the unseen, unheard many. He acted in kindness and in a sense of love and to foster community. SCE was everything I would want my children and grandchildren to emulate and replicate. I am saddened to my core because of the loss of a man who never once had the national press corp fainting over him or crowds chanting cult phrases, never sold vodka or steaks or crypto currency scams. The balance of universal karma is in desperate need of a shift again.
On the other hand, "HE" is nothing. Less than nothing, he is squandered opportunity and hatred in a poorly fitting suit and bad make-up. I have lost dozens of friends, uncounted numbers of aquaintances and a sister over the adoration and cult-like devotion to HIM.
And as I wipe my eyes and blow my nose now because of a sense of loss and sadness for the silencing of one voice ion the wilderness, there is a day in the near future (not near enough unless HE is dying as I type this) when there will be another silencing for all-time. Another loss by some definitions, but an addition by subtraction in my math. And on that day, I will celebrate wildly. I will imbibe excessively and I WILL dance in the streets and begin preparing to find a way to piss on HIS grave one day after that.
Did he die yet? Did his fucking heart explode and attempt to flee by bursting out of his chest? Did his bloo seep out of every pore in an effort to emigrate? Did he just fall down the stairs or choke on a shoe-leather tough piece of meat?
No?
Soon. (But never soon enough...)
