White Noise Insanity

His handle was "TWEAK" and he had been part of the Patriotic movement on AMERICAblog for a long time. Here is his last post on AMERICAblog. He posted it the day after election night from his hospital bed before he died:

HI GUYS!!!

IT TOOK A WHOLE LOT OF YELLING AND A C-NOTE TO LET ME HAVE MY COMPUTER IN THIS GODFORSAKEN ROOM FOR A FEW MINUTES, BUT I DID IT.

MY TIME IS SHORT, (ON THE COMPUTER-LOL) SO HERE IT GOES....

HALL-A-FUCKING-LOU-YA!

I AM SO GLAD I WAS ABLE TO WITNESS THIS HISTORIC EVENT!
YOU PEOPLE ROCK! A-BLOG ROCKS!
JOHN A. YOU ROCK TOO.
HELL, EVEN YOU ROCK TODAY "BUSBOY', YOU FLAMING PILE OF REPUBLICAN TURDS YOU!

NO ONE, NOT EVEN A PERSONAL HOSPITAL VISIT BY KATHLEEN HARRIS CAN BRING ME DOWN FROM THIS NATURAL HIGH!

REMEMBER PEOPLE, THAT WAS A HELL OF A POLITICAL BATTLE.
OUR WEAPONS, (TRUTH AND JUSTICE) HAVE BEEN TESTED, HONED AND ARE READY FOR THE REAL REVOLUTION OF 08'

GAWD, I HOPE I GET TO SEE THE FINAL NAILS PIERCE THE REPUBLICAN COFFIN.
THAT WOULD BE AKIN TO LETTING ME EAT THE PROVERBIAL CAKE, AFTER HAVING BAKED AND FROSTED IT MYSELF.

ODDLY ENOUGH, LIFE HAS BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME AND I HOPE THE POWERS THAT BE LET ME SEE THIS ONE THROUGH TO THE 08' FINISH...
IF NOT IT'S OKAY. I ALREADY KNOW WE WILL WIN.

FIGHT ON ABLOG WARIORS! FIGHT ON!
IT AIN'T OVER TILL IT'S OVER.

I LOVE ALL OF YOU.

We love you too TWEAK!

As you can see, TWEAK sensed that he didn't have much more time. He knew the end was near, but he wanted to make sure that he shared in the electrifying win that night with all of us. What a true Patriot he was. His light, wit, and love for our country will live on in our hearts for a long time. I miss him already and want him back. Myself and others had wondered what had happened to him but we had just chalked it up that he was taking some time off to absorb the huge win (one blogger on there "MargaretPOA" was posting under "Vacationing Peggy" because she wanted to absorb the positive energy from the win and she said she was waiting for a soapbox response when something in the news triggered her outrage again! She was on "vacation" for two weeks. LOL).

My heart, though, is aching so badly right now with the knowledge that he is gone. Losing an online friend is so different than losing a friend or family member that you know in person. In most cases, none of us have ever met and probably never will. It's our words, thoughts, and opinions that link us together and it's a different kind of relationship, though wonderful. Most of us feel such huge compassion for each other that we've instructed our families upon our deaths to make sure that these online friends are notified of it.

TWEAK's brother left us a message on AMERICAblog alerting us to his death:

To any and all who knew my brother, who used the handle "TWEAK".

He passed Tuesday evening from complications during heart surgery.

I thought those who spoke with him should know. He loved this blog. He recently told me how blogs like this one (his favorite) were going to be the salvation of this country.
I didn't understand what actually took place here until I started reading some of his musings last night. While I don't quite understand the charachter of "Tweak" he created, I can tell you he was a passionate man who cared deeply about the USA and the world.
He thought all of you, no matter your opinions, were the new "shock troops" of freedom.
I thank you for taking the time to read this. I know I can always come here to see his special smile and remember his acerbic wit.
I miss him so much.

It would be wonderful if you could go there and leave a thought or a prayer for TWEAK's family. His brother is reading the comments (under "Anonymous" and "Little TWEAK"). He now knows how loved TWEAK was and I'm sure it is helping him through his loss.

Thank you Patriots! I truly love all of you and I'm so glad you're all in my life. You're my sanctity, peace, and happiness.
