Those who have been here awhile have probably posted some stupid things. I know I have.

Pretty messed up though to drudge that stuff immediately upon someone's death Seems more prudent to avoid this thread if you didn't like the guy

I think it's more of a tribute than a "gotcha"

Yeah I worded that poorly. More referring to the guys commenting on the post negatively.

This always made me laugh....

The demographics of this place don't match up with me. I'm not some guy who married my high school sweetheart. I don't have a boring job with benefits that puts food on the table for my family. I didn't buy a house is some #### hole suburb where my neighbors house is 3 feet from mine. I'm 35 and I look like I'm 25. I'm still in shape, I have a full head of hair unlike most of you. I'm not fat. I don't eat buffalo wings twice a week. I don't own a pair of Zubas. I can and do score chicks that most of you would not have any chance of sleeping with....ever. This isn't shtick. It's my life. It's funny but at the height of my drug use I had beautiful women giving my their numbers. I was asked out constantly. And then most of you get to go home to your wives who havent slept with you in months. She's overweight and unhappy. She complains constantly and you secretly despise her. But you stay and let her boss you around. You're miserable but you're doing it for the children.

Maybe he wasn't such a great guy.

He probably was a good guy, but he lashed out on occasion because he had issues and insecurities. Even though he calls the married guys miserable in his rant above, he was probably the miserable one deep down. He was trying to convince others and, more importantly, himself that his life was actually great. Deep down he probably didn't want all the women he claimed he got in that rant, he wanted just one woman that would love him unconditionally. He probably felt that void in his life, and coupled with his other issues he concluded his life wasn't worth continuing. Very sad.


RIP, Guy I don't know. I'll pray for you.

He died because he never found the right chick?

It's no secret opiates will give you erectile dysfunction. Having all these women and you can't even lay the pipe must of been a real curse.

From just reading the above rant and doing a little psychoanalysis, not having the right chick probably was a contributing factor to him being depressed and trying to medicate himself with drugs. He might have felt that he had nobody, other than his family members, who truly loved him.

Maybe. It's a possible theory, no doubt.

Holy ####...I think i'm just now realizing I crossed paths with this guy IRL and never made the finless connection. Man.

RIP

 
:o ####. ############. :(

Strange, funny, smart dude. Sad to see anybody lose a battle with addiction, especially one that is trying to be beaten.

RIP Fin. :banned:

 
Oh, :no: :( :(

Loved him. RIP and you will be missed, Fin.

And to those mentioning negative stuff about him that happened on the board and still fighting those battles . . . seriously? Might be the wrong time.

 
Definitely one of the more colorful characters on the board. It was hard to believe his stories since we're from such different worlds.

:(

Be good, man. RIP.

That's how I always looked at him was just as a guy from a different world. I'm not going to begin to guess what went on his head, why he lived the way he did or posted the things he did because obviously his whole outlook on life was different than mine. All I know is he was an entertaining poster and he'll be missed. RIP.

Well to be fair, he had a high schtick percentage and a number of different aliases (Finless/Clifton/Jambi and probably others)

Damn. Just...damn. Was one of my favorite posters. He'll be missed.

I just started on page one, and was surprised at what this thread digressed into on page two. I was not prepared or expecting to see R.I.P. Fin. Oof! I'm hoping that its an Andy Kauffman situation really badly.

 
So sad. His threads were ones that I would read all the way through. Looking back, this forum was likely therapeutic for facing his demons. What a shame to see such a young and intelligent dude leave this world too soon. Looking back, his posts were among some of the more honest ones in this forum, although at the time seemed implausible due to his unfortunate real life struggles. RIP Finless.

 
Finless threads were must reads. The only poster who ever earned that distinction in my mind. He was the FFAs Hunter S Thompson.

RIP

Here's the real scoop. After spending over 10 years abstaining from all things chemicals I went on a 3 year bender...3 straight years. I'm a legitimate addict. I've put it out here many times. So I am just making a comeback now from losing everything. Funny thing is I function and I worked up until the day I checked into a detox but #### got BAD. I was at the breaking point. Bills piling up, fantasy fees coming in - the financial stress was too much to take. Not to mention losing my soul, my place, my girl and everything else (except my dog) I had built up over the "oughts". I am extremely lucky to be alive. I spent 4 years in the 90's doing the hard stuff and another 3 recently. I get down like you wouldn't believe. A few of you have seen pictures. Those were legit.

I feel great today. Taking a low stress job with a buddy tomorrow rather than getting right back into things. I know most of you all completely dismiss 95% of what I say as shtick but most of what I say about myself and my stories were legit. I don't know what kind of mad man would take that kind of time to make up stories and follow up. I mean I have always had a legitimate social life. I ended up here because of my father. He used FBG's. I popped into the forums one day which I remember were dominated by Otistalk and figured I could spice things up.

Anyhow, Life is good right now. I'm In Boston doing well, haven't used anything in months. Doing my thing. Psyched I'm single because I'm gonna hit everything I can out here. Heroin is a great preservative and I shouldn't have any trouble getting in with the post college chick crowd (girls my age just look WAY too old to me). Don't hate....It's gonna be a good run. I can tell you that much. Options are opening up everyday. I have good job offers in a number of states right now. I'm just gonna take it slow, make small money, put some weight on and put my life back together. Looking forward to the challenge honestly. No BS. :mellow:

Favorite poster on the board.

While it sucks he's gone, he clearly had disdain for the typical 9 - 5 life and he really lived the way he wanted, on the edge and by his own terms.

I kind of feel like he was like an old-west outlaw character, what ultimately took his life was what seemed to define him and was a central part of his existence.

Regardless, RIP Fin, the world is a less colorful, interesting place today.
