This post is in memory of Razz, who died a year ago yesterday. He was an awesome guy and he portrayed his energetic and fun-loving nature through his blog. I miss him terribly. Here is my favorite post from his blog:
I saw a memorial on Torchy's blog while browsing through. Thinking about Razz still makes me a bit sad. I like that post of his too, and it almost brings tears to my eyes.
To face his situation head on and feel content with life, that's something. Perhaps one day I'll look back and be able to say the same thing as he did.
That is certainly the one I remember most, with the one about becoming friends with Ste next.
As soon as I saw the title on that one, I knew what it meant, even though he never said so in the body of the post. The pluperfect said it all. And how wonderful that he could look at it that way rather than complaining about the unfairness of it all.
I've never had the pleasure of talking to Razz, but I have been reading his blog when I was living in Spain.
I loved reading every bit of it and when finding out that he passed away I cried in front of my pc. I never met him, but through his blog I was able to be part of the life of such an amazing person. And he will continue to live on in the memories of us and his friends!
This is all new to me...this site I mean... so Raz I didn't know, but in a way, know very well. You have no idea how much I needed to know him today, of all days in my life, Raz had something to tell me. Thank you for being an interesting and curious knot in the tenuous thread that led me to what I needed to be reminded of today.
Just going to write about what I think is interesting.. which may or may not be too interesting to you. But it's helping me work through things in my life.
Keep your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the blog at all time and enjoy the ride!
Feel free to send me emails or write comments! I love both! Send emails to nytedragon@gmail.com
Important People
There are some people that I refer to on here a lot, so I might as well give an explanation of each to help you guys out. :) And in the beginning stages of my blog, I gave everyone initials or aliases. But after a while, I just started using their names (unless it's a very unique name). So I'll point those initials/aliases out as well.
Jon (formerly JW): One of my best friends through work. First real friend that I came out to. SUPER gay. But I love him just the same :)
Jen: My ex-gf. Were together for 6.5 years. Found out I liked guys, and that was pretty much a deal breaker. We're now best friends. She says that I'm the Will to her Grace. :P (though I kind of hate that analogy because I don't like Will that much...)
Jamie (formerly J): First boy that I had feelings for and had sex with. Apparently we didn't want the same things though. LOTS of drama with him, and was the reason I started this blog. Click on the links in the "Important Posts" section to find out more about him.
Barry: My good online buddy! He lives in the UK, and we found each other through an online chat room. We talk about everything together and it's so nice to have someone that I can open up to. I tell him more stuff about me than anyone else!
More to add later!

Thanks for posting this Doug. it was pretty obvious from that blog entry that he knew he wasn't going to make it :(
it's also nice that the 3 commenters on that post have all written their own blog posts, 1 year on.
to Razz!

Razz.
I go quiet whenever I think of him.
He meant and continues to mean a lot to many people.
Thank you for posting about him.
