Yeah, I'm going to die. No shenanigans.
I found out last Saturday.
I'm not going to get into the specifics of what's wrong because... well I just don't want to think about it right now.
And before you even say it Koolmang, I don't have AIDS.
I can't help but think about this post: http://www.ubersite.com/m/39624
What if an Uber user died?
It seems weird now. When I think back to my reaction to it I wonder if I would have thought the same thing about that post had I known then what I know now.
I've got less than a year apparently. They say it could be as little as a month. Or maybe 6 months. Or 6 weeks. Or 878.5 hours. Or whatever. Don't you just love doctors?
I wonder if I'll be missed here on Ubersite. If people are gonna look back and say "Hey, whatever happened to that guy who was always drawing weird shit in MsPaint? No, not Habeeb, the other one. Oh, he's dead? That blows... So who wants to get drunk?"
It's funny that I'll be remembered for something that took only five hours of my entire life to make. Of all the insignificant things I've ever done that's the thing that will be imprinted in the minds of a bunch of people that I'll never meet. That's just fucking hilarious. There won't be any great monument to my heroic deeds but I can rest easy knowing that I got 20,000 people to look at a bunch of random crap done in MsPaint. Life is just fucking ridiculous sometimes. I love it.
At least I have a pretty healthy outlook on death. It's never been a big deal to me. If I go to Heaven. If I go to Hell. If I become "one with God". If nothing happens at all. Whatever happens will happen, you know?
If there is some sort of God or whatever, feel free to leave me any questions you've got for him, and I'll use all my ghostly powers to get back to you with the answer.
If I disappear from Uber for over a month, it's safe to assume that I'm not coming back. In the meantime I'll continue to post as normal. I feel like I'm a living version of "On the Beach" (I think that's it) where the people are just trying to go about their lives but know that they're completed fucked. Yeah, something like that anyway, I can't really remember.
To all those who give a fuck, I have a small request of you:
1: Drink a shot of vodka for me.
2: Graffiti the head of my Smoking Cat somewhere ( http://www.ubersite.com/m/38520 ). I'm having a good number of the people I know do it. Just imagine that. A rash of graffiti spreading throughout the world. Police are afraid it's a new cult. Panic ensues. That would probably be the most badass memorial ever.
I'll have my brother throw up a post to let you know that I'm dead or something. Yes, I'm aware of how heartless and bizarre that sounds. I'm just a bizarre person, it stems from my many mental disorders (bipolar, schizophrenia, DID, ADD, OCD, and all that other crap).
Sorry that this was such a rambling mess of a post, but put yourself in my situation for a moment.
And just because I've never said it before:
Thanks Uber, you guys rule.

Keep it up. There is hidden talent there. Not sure where, but determination is half the game. You also obviously have some facility with the program. Remember, a great number of artists weren't appreciated in their own time, only to be admired after their death. Don't know if that is any consulation, just an observation.

I read this site everyday, but I never post because I lack talent in writing or drawing and have really nothing to offer. I rarely rate items because I dont feel qualified to critique someone else's work when I have offered nothing for comparison. This is the saddest thing I have read on ubersite and even though I'm just another comment and you don't know me I feel really bad for you. I will drink at least a shot of vodka for you, something I have avoided since I totalled my car after splitting a liter with a friend, and I would grafitti your cat somewhere but I will have to find someone who could do it well. Although your post was sad most of the comments I found showed real decency on a site that is sometimes lacking in that area. Good luck

I really don't want to think about the "How?" right about now, everything has just been such a shock to me.
"Why?" is anyone's guess. Blame God I guess.

Blame Canada!!
Heh sorry, just trying to lighten the mood a bit. Don't worry, I'll put up your cat all over my college. And for the vodka, it's already taken care of. I didn't know you very well, but I'll help you in any way I can, just say the word.

From now on, in my mind, Ubersite is the Gibberish Memorial Ubersite. Much like most memorials, most people won't actually say the "Gibberish Memorial" part (like the "X Memorial Town Green" being shortened to the green)...
but in my mind, that's what it is.

I'm with apollo. I've stayed away from this because one can never really know what to say, and also because some jaded part of me fears that this could be a hoax. But you've never been the kind to play shenanigans in the past and I believe you now.
I noticed you as soon as your first post. There was something real and sincere about that post (possibly because you were drunk). I was something like the fourth person to review that post (as itchysfakepersonna). Since then you have continued to make your presence known here and impressed a large number of people with your obvious talent.
Not only that, but I think the only person you managed to piss off was Habeeb, which is saying something on Uber.
I don't know what you are going through, or what is going to happen to you, but I'll say that all those people you've managed to touch on Uber (myself included) are thinking about, praying for, and wishing you the best.
Thanks for sharing. And remember, Bart never takes anything down here, so regardless of what may happen in the hereafter - here, you are immortal.

You will be missed. I live in Germany and I think I actually will spray your cat on one wall or another. Think about it: the "smoking cat" making its way over the atlantic, wouldn't that be cool?
Imagine if your family visited Berlin some years later, and they would see your cat painted at the wall in the train-station. That would be a fine memorial indeed.

You lived your life worrying that you would end up with biographies and in history books. Don't give up, and as small as your contribution to Uber may seem in comparison to being a world leader or a celebrity, remember: it is better to be loved by a few than hated by many, as so many prominent people are today. Writings on Uber are the one of the best things anyone can leave behind as a reminder of themselves. Do not give up hope, for the doctor has no say in what will happen and you might actually wake up tomorrow feeling completely better. Keep fighting. Peace.

They say that we're all connected. Everything is connected to everything else... I see the internet as yet more proof that this is actually true.
Friendships formed on the net are just as real as in person for a lot of people now - its something that the next generation will just accept this.
That said, I hope Im remembered on Uber if anything ever happens to me. I don't really care how I'm remembered...

The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.

You know, today I was chillin at work, and I wanted to read the comments on this post, it is relly great to know that you have so many people supporting you. I can only imagine how those you love feel, I don't think I could stop crying if I found out Tori would die soon. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes. So I not only send my support to you, but to all those who deeply care about you.

I wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph
Behind your back it goes
A little something like this is way to big to miss
I got a letter in the mail
The sender failed to let me know where it came from
Opened it up and sure enough there we were
arm in arm (up in arms) again
I know it's small but my last call's been called
half an hour ago
I know it's late but do you think you could at least
fix it for me
Then I'll go I'll go alone I swear
I won't tell a soul
I'll drink this beer and write in fear
of a song everybody hates
Armageddon, let the light in
Before we say goodbye give us something to believe in
Armageddon, we're not begging
For too much I don't think
Just need a goodbye kiss (one last salute)
Before we sink
We sink

judging by the list of diseases you have you probably are either a current or former drug addict. Given that, what comes to mind immediately is AIDS but you denied that specifically. So I'm guessing you have some sort of other blood borne pathology, perhaps liver cancer or a lymphoma, most certainly some sort of drug induced malignancy.

i see a lot of people posting poignant words in consolation. there is no consolation, but if youre gonna post someone elses words, then i really dont see how you could go past mr john keats. this is an excerpt from his eulogy for that other seminal romantic period poet: percy bysshe shelley, entitled "adonais"...
he has outsoared the shadow of our night;
envy and calumny and hate and pain,
and that unrest which men miscall delight,
can touch him not and torture not again;
from the contagion of the worlds slow stain
he is secure, and now can never mourn
a heart grown cold, a head grown grey in vain;
nor, when the spirit's self has ceased to burn,
with sparkless ashes load an unlamented urn
he lives, he wakes - 'tis death is dead, not he.
if you want my advice, i reckon ou should convert to islam, strap some explosives to yourself and go find a bus full of israelis. sure, a whole bunch of innocent, undeserving people will go down with you, but youll wake up on the other side with roughly 87 virgins at your disposal. pretty sweet deal.
or go have anal sex while bungee jumping, whatever does it for you.

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light." - Dylan Thomas

I saw death today,
funny how it always seems to get its own way,
I saw death today.
Saw tears running down their faces,
funny how it happens in the strangest places,
I saw death today.
Saw it laying there in a big brown box,
funny how the clock just ticks and tocks,
I saw death today.
Sat there and listened to the holy word,
Soul is taking off like a big white bird,
I saw death today.
No words can console you, no action can change the path that you ride. Ride it with vigor and leave the wind at your back. Never look over your shoulder for fate gains with each passing day. If you feel it bearing down on you, laugh and ride harder.......and stronger. The night is not so black that sight ceases to exist.
Keep hope alive.
Your sight is ahead through whatever darkness is there.
Ride hard my friend, ride hard.

Ok, I know I don't know you (a huge shame. I never had good timing). And I know this song is about a girl. However, it is still one of the best rock and roll songs. Period. And I cut to the stuff that I thought of when I read your post.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How ev'rything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.

Fuck, dude, I am really broken about this, but...
There is an inward smile...and you know what that's about, because you've already thought it! Follow it all the way down the hall! Cling to the walls of life...
The first part will be the journey of your lifetime. It'll be hard because never have you felt such intense pressure. Ever gone over a steep hill really fast in a car?
That's what this part is like...but when you reach the bottom you will cry - though the tears will not be of joy, nor sorrow...they will be tears of EVERYTHING, because at that moment you will realize that everything that is, was, and is to be is composed of the self-same love that lives in our hearts. You will realize that you ARE the universe! That you are everything...then you will decide. You will decide whether you want to let go of your individual self, or come back and play in your limitation.
Will you break the cycle, or will you continue in it...if but one more time???
Read the Tibetan Book of the Dead...
There will be those who tell you not to take this seriously...it's sage advise, as long as you're not dying. Take control of your spirit and be ready. Be sure to pack light, Dan.

Can't say I blame anyone for not believing this, but I'll come across as an insensitive bastard if I accuse you of shenanigans.
Good luck.
Unless it's shenanigans, in which case, bad luck.

I can't say that I'll miss you as I didn't even know you, but your words are certainly thought-provoking. I really feel for you, and if I have time, I'll make a stencil of that cat and put it up. Love your outlook on death.

Wow...I really don't know what to say except for I'm very sorry. If you don't mind me asking, what is it that you're dying from? (Starlet6842.at.yahoo.com). But, like everyone else has been saying, the medical profession always tells you the worst case scenerio. I had a friend who did a backflip on a trampoline a year ago, and crushed some of her upper spine, she was airlifted to the hospital, and after extensive emergency surgery, the doctors told her that she'll be paralyzed from the shoulders down. Guess what? She's walking and dancing like she was before. Just try your hardest and have the best time possible...you can make it =) You truly are the kicker of all ass when it comes to MsPaint. That smoking cat is going fucking everywhere.
Good luck.

The only thing i can say is that you should read One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabríel Garcia Marquez...its my favorite book of all time...and then, read The General in His Labyrinth...also by Marquez...very amazing books...deal with death in a very interesting fashion, much like yourself...and the cats going up in my school...im spray painting it over the idiot-mascot's face that we have in the central courtyard...or hoping to one day, in any case
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I heard that One Hundred Years was so-so, but I'll be sure to pick it up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a hard book to follow, what with all the characters having more or less the same names, but it's very mythical and mysterious...i can't say it's an amazing book by today's standards...but i consider it worthy enough to place on my shelf next to the collected works of Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain...Marquez just has a way with words...but yeah, pick it up...it is well worth the week/two weeks itll take to read (if you stick to it, that is)...oh, and i drew the cat in my locker so everyone who ever opens it will be graced with its presence...

Myself and Genko are making plans to spraypaint your cat everywhere in Hamilton. damn near every school, library, bus stop, and house of people that I don't like.
I just have one question for you. Could you email me at gianthead69.at.hotmail.com? To some people, it would sound pretty stupid.

Dan - in your final days - do some fucked up shit, nothing matters now apart from you enjoying yourself and keep a diary here on Uber to tell us about it. The rules of society no longer really apply to you, you are lucky in that most people die with no notice, you have time to work out exactly how to spend your remaining days. Be with your friends, spend time with your loved ones and tell them what they mean to you and how much you love them.
And when you die, it is only your body that stops working, you will always exist in some form or another. I'm not afraid of death because that is home to me. I was there before I came here. This is like school, we learn the lessons we are meant to learn and move on. If we don't learn, we have to repeat them next time round (like retakes). Be happy, be strong and go in peace.

Physical, my journey began
now chasing down the cure, no plan in hand
Just your pulse racing, guiding in the dark
Just knowing with conviction from the start
Come on in, your eyes made an introduction
I found my sacred body, embraced the light
Flawless to the point of being godly
yet i fell all for your imperfections
And now it's slightly wetter, it's slightly warmer
Hands stick together after i threw the storm
I still believe in ever after with you
Nothing compares to the good times
Feels like your floating when the rest have to climb
Life made me believe in love, all the perfect kinds
A real mess, beautiful, twisted sunshine
Emotions, i gave you erruptions
We're supposed to care because we're still alive
tunnel vision, the damnation
I want you, i want to make it right.

Hey! Hey! Do I get an e-mail? Any time that you want to talk, email me at go_tapeworms.at.yahoo.com. Or IM me at LadyPlural on AIM. OR... Yeah. Demand that they put the web address of your Unholy Master of MS Paint post on your tombstone. As I said before, though, hopefully there won't be a need for a tombstone for a long time.

Gibberish, Dan is it? Sorry I don't know you well enough to have known that already. My name is Brad. We have had some small negligable differences that have not been uncommon for a forum such as this, but in my mind, they are all meaningless...
Your art rules. Don't stop now because of this little bump in the road (cause you know that's what it is: a bump). Use what time you have to extend the mark you've made on the world and in our hearts and minds. I think I speak for everyone on this website who is familiar with you and your work... You will be missed, my friend.
I will not say goodbye now, because the next leg of your journey has not yet begun. Do me this favor and don't go before you're gone! Don't give up on the light. It will appear to you even amid the deepest veil of darkness. Don't deny it when it comes to you. I'll meet you wherever it is it takes us all.
PS: There is a billboard near my home I'd love to defile on your behalf! And there is a stop sign on my street that shouldn't be there, I'll get it too. That one will be fun, cause it's right by a cop's house. ;)
You will be remembered.

Jesus. This post has had me fucked up for like 24 hours straight. Thinking about death, what happens when you die, is their afterlife, is there a god, etc...
If this is shenanigans, I'll be happy you're not dying, but really really pissed off at the turmoil you've put my spirituality through. I don't drink vodka, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll smoke a nice cigar for you and drink a nice Crown Royal, straight up, on the rocks. Heck, if I'm feeling crazy, I'll have my wife call me "Smokey the Cat" when I'm boffing her tonite.

I met a guy at my cousin's wedding, we both got shitfaced and afterwards we started chatting on MSN. We just talked about random shit and stuff, bar's we'd hit, ladies we'd violated... six months later, having felt like i'd know the guy half my life, his wife logged on and told me that he had been hit by a car when he was out jogging. Died instantly. Sent me a little newspaper clipping as proof. I don't know what I would have said to him if i'd had the chance, but i'd have definitely downed a few shots with him. Even though I only know you as the 'paint guy', consider the vodka a done deal. Glasgow's definitely getting some graffiti in your honour.

The irony of the situation is that when somebody doesn't post on a forum for over a month it is a natural reaction for the remaining users to assume that person has just gone out and gotten themself a life. In your case it will be the exact opposite.
