Yes, my Comrades, it is time, time to express our appreciation for those fallen in the fight, even if they were, as it turns out, not part of the fight, even if we knew it, even if we didn't care. Sometimes it doesn't matter -- fight or no fight, our friends fall, they fall, and when they do, they do not rise, and it is up to us to honor their memory in whatever way we can, by continuing the fight or by dropping the facade and honestly grieving.
My Comrades, I do not wish to denigrate the seriousness of what we do here, but then again, I do not wish to denigrate the seriousness of our affections for those who follow us through all of our foolhardiness, all of our mistakes, all of our ridiculous life decisions and fucked-up on-the-spot declarations which seem (but only seem) to encompass an entire world view, when in fact they only serve to playfully reject the world views of those closest to us, in order to keep from becoming encapsulated in a perception which it would be folly to support, and wise, oh so wise, my Comrades, to deflate.
But we deflate out of love, not conflict. We do what we do because we don't know how to do it differently.
Good bye, Warren, I will miss you.
And RIP Margaret,too. She actually liked our Blog!
