This truly sucks:

The guy never seemed to find an audience, but he was really good.

Unbelievably sad. And tragic. And pointless.

I'm only going to say this once: if you're smoking, QUIT. Seeing his picture on his website with a cigarette made me sad and angry at the same time.

If you're trying to handicap your chances, you have a 40% of dying of a smoking related illness. Not only will you probably die earlier, but dying of a smoking related illness sucks beyond belief. I know- I've already lost 3 close friends to it. It's the most horrible and painful way to go.

And, the world will lose your talent. I know we will miss Chris's.
