Damn

I can’t say I knew him, because I never actually met him. I just read his blog, and in that strange way that people think they know you on the Internet when in fact they don’t know you at all, I guess I knew him.

And in that same vain search for connection to one another in a disconnected world, I liked his writing. I didn’t always get it, because he had a very off beat way of putting things. But you sensed he was looking at the universe through his own special prism and it all made sense to him. Or maybe not.

Hearing the news of his passing, and the circumstances surrounding it, saddens me in ways I can’t fully comprehend. Apparently, I didn’t know him at all.
