Sad news to hear. He was always a ball of fun to watch give his take on here. My thoughts are with his friends and family.

HO, was he on the Tom's board ever? I thought I may have seen him before on that one, but I wasn't sure.

BRnet, don't fret. CIT loved to needle people and he liked making grumpy posts. It was part of his persona, but in a funny way not really in a mean way. He knew what was coming back. He was getting a kick out of his own self. If it bothered him, you'd have known it. I told him to tone it down or get a spell cast a few times myself. He'd chime back calling me Marie again.

In the course of emailing me about some food stuff back in 2011 and 2012, he told me he was a walking miracle. He really should have been dead. He survived a lot and his heart was in very very bad condition. He was living on very borrowed time and apparently, he got more time than he ever expected from what he told me. He had a bunch of other near misses that weren't health related. He literally wondered why he was still around. He thought it was surely divine intervention or guardian angels.

We lost a good one there. I think we only caught a glimpse of what he truly knew about food. I will have a whisky tonight in his honor. Godspeed good man.

I have to admit, listening to this made me cry.

quote:

You know I've heard it said there's beauty in distortion.
By some people who've withdrawn to find their heads
Now they say that there is humor in misfortune
You know I wonder if they'll laugh when I am dead

Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

Hey, you know some people say that values are subjective,
But they're just speaking words that someone else has said.
And so they live and fight and kill with no objective.
Sometimes it's hard to tell the living from the dead.

Why am I fighting to live if I 'm just living to fight?
Why am I trying to see when there ain't nothing in sight?
Why am I trying to give when no one gives me a try?
Why am I dying to live if I'm just living to die?

Yeah, you know I used to weave my words into confusion.
And so I hope you'll understand me when I 'm through
You know I used to live my life as an illusion,
But reality will make my dreams come true.

So I'll keep fighting to live till there's no reason to fight
And I'll keep trying to see until the end is in sight
You know I'm trying to give so c'mon give me a try
You know I'm dying to live until I'm ready ...
'til I'm ready .....
'til I'm ready .....
'til I'm ready to die


I'll miss you CIT.

He was only 1 year older than me. Everybody should be thinking that you could be next. Live your moments as if you know it will end soon.

And if I'm next, I just want everybody to know this board has given me great pleasure and purpose since I've been here. It's the only place in the world the Jambalaya Calculator could have been launched. Thank you particularly Pochejp, Kajungee, Gris Gris, HungryOne, Martini, Winkface, Louisiana Lady, Kosmo, bossflossjr, SW2SCLA, Powerman, Coater, and many more.

I'm going to die without leaving any descendants. I hope that I've left some legacy here for the future.

Don't think I can listen to that right now. Dammit. CIT would love this thread. Too bad his family won't see it. Makes me sad.

You might be able to facilitate that if you know his IRL name and email.

I'm very sorry to learn of this. Wit made this place fun and didn't bite his lip on the PT board.
