Did I just find Atlas's female counterpart? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyQJIvhyIUU

Bruno! You need the Bitcoin 100 account to look presentable. Switch back.

You are 100% correct, terrytibbs. Duly noted!

And Atlas sounds like a teenager who read Atlas Shrugged, thought about it a little adding their own ideas, and now wants to spread the word.

They do seem pretty similar, didn't mean my previous post to come off like it did...  I never actually watched any of Atlas on youtube, just couldn't bring myself to do it.

That just sounds like a teenager who read Fight Club, thought about it a little adding their own ideas, and now wants to spread the word.

I appreciate that. On another note, I had never had a close family member die before, much less of cancer, and I guess I had the idea that it would be like a movie-- either painless and instant, or Godfather "last words" style. I had no idea that cancer basically makes you go senile right before you die, causing you to freak out for a day saying things you've never said, then go open-eye comatose for another day, finally becoming unresponsive until your breathing stops.

Your experience isn't unique to cancer.  Unfortunately the phrase "keeping someone comfortable" doesn't mean what people would like to think it means.  Having seen the pain and distress which so often accompanies death in this day and age, I've made damned sure that my medical wishes are very well known.

...and hope you get though this as quickly as possible.

Yea! With you and Atlas sidelined, and blockexplorer working smoothly, theymos has nothing to do. I'm walking a fine line, making doubly sure I don't post off topic and receive another untimely vacation.

Later, Bro!

We did have a full 3 weeks to record but my mom thought it was cool to die of cancer 2 weeks ago and I just got back from the US.

I'm sorry to hear that Matthew.

My right brain and left brain were both soaking the thing in. Really weird experience. Everyone I talked to after the fact pretty much said that's how their relative/friend went as well. Makes me horrified of cancer even more so.

We weren't that close or anything so I guess I am handling it much better than my oldest sister who keeps shouting it's 'her fault' and something about being 'too late', but one thing is for sure-- I wouldn't even want my enemies to have to live with the pain and suffering she was going through. I am happy she passed quickly and in her sleep (even if her sleep was drug induced).


The last family member I had die of cancer was my grandmother when I was about 6.
She was dying of lung cancer.
The one bit of solace I get from not being able to be with her during her last days was that she, in vain, repeatedly requested I be let in to see her.
I was really close to her as a child, but now I can hardly remember her.
I feel your pain and hope you get though this as quickly as possible.

Oh, shit! Atlas is gone!? This will go down in Bitcoin history!

Bitcoin history?  Really?  He's just a kid with mental issues.  Or you're being sarcastic, hard to tell. 
Somehow I think he's here and in cahoots with these SA trolls.

He definitely is, he seems to have a pathological need for attention.  As long as he isn't posting crazy atlas stuff he might be able to evade a ban, but that would mean not being himself/not posting about anything he really cares about, so he'll get bored eventually and either leave or revert to the crazy stuff and get banned again.  So either way it's still a win.   

But...but...but...what will Matthew N. Wright now do? He's the real victim here.


I'll survive, unremorsefully. Heh.

Actually I'm busy making the Christmas Special. We did have a full 3 weeks to record but my mom thought it was cool to die of cancer 2 weeks ago and I just got back from the US. It's kind of hard to do 'funny' in a hurry (a week left) and even harder given the circumstances.

Hope it comes out alright despite it.

Sorry to here about your mom. My dad pasted a year and half ago. After the normal brief grieving period, everything will OK. I joke with my sister daily with this line, "Dad said,". Just those two words, then we laugh. You'll always remember what 'Mom Said'.

~Bruno~

PS: We'll always remember Atlas singing your Christmas parody song.

good

Now the forum will be slightly better without a selection of particularly useless posts (like this one).

Even if he doesn't post crazy atlas stuff, you know it's Atlas when you see the following:
": )" -- Atlas smiley
"Heh, " -- Atlas sentence prefix
"unremorsefully" -- Atlas' favorite word


Or he may come back, fooling us all, by using ... thus letting us believe he's Bruce Wagner.
