    I cannot believe that it has been a week since he passed away, seems like it happened just yesterday.

    I've had a dream two nights now over the past week where I get a message on Facebook from him saying "what is all this about my death?" in his usual joking manner. Then I wake up and there are no unread messages waiting for me. I wonder how often I will have this dream.

    Is this the first untimely death you have run into personally?

    Kind of? Ive had distant relatives pass away, and last April the father of one of my friends passed away as well, but for some reason this felt different. Maybe it was because HoreTore and I actually talked quite a bit on Facebook (besides meeting up when I went to Norway last summer).

    Logged in for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I saw the thread title on the main page and thought it was either Norway was dropping its social programmes or football had yet another Hollywood dive.

    Then I read the thread and was shocked and felt profoundly saddened by his untimely death. Twenty-eight is a young adult with the rest of your life at your feet. Whilst Horetore had the ability to wind me up, it was also obvious his position was heart felt and consistent with the way he did things. He would of course drop in a few sharp digs like all of us, but his ultra-left socialist do-gooder stance will be missed sorely both here in the Org and I suspect far more in Norway with his family, friends, colleagues and students.

    Life is not fair, its people like Horetore who strive to make it so. It is sad that he has passed away so young.

    All I can say is live each day life the way you want it to be. Do as you please, please as you do. Because news like this hits home that today may indeed be the last.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

    I was 33 when my friend, age 34, died suddenly of an illness that was supposed to have killed him in infancy. I still think of him from time to time, sing "The Parting Glass" in his honor, and every once in a while have a quick cry. As an insurance agent I got to see even more...and not all of it timely. When you deliver the payment to a father for his college junior son, it hits you. When your daughter's daycare sitter and recent student dies in an accident, that hits you.

    It is supposed to hurt a little, and the closer the more bent out of shape you will be -- it does not fit the order of things. Don't deny your grief or belittle your own concerns -- those honor Erik as well.

    You ever think the reason gods dont show themselves is because if they did humans woild keep trying to kill them for making them capable of grief?

    So am I, I am really going to miss him. But it isn't like he was friend or family,chipping in on the plate because it is a nice gesture but I would be lying if I said it hits me all that hard. I am really sorry that he died that young, and I really liked him, but mourning him overly comes close to emo-porn. That is up to his family, not to me.

    Well, it's someone I have shared ideas and thoughts with for more than 10 years... I can't even say that about some of my best friends.

    The fact that we are anonymous and on a forum, makes people more apt to share their true inner feelings and thoughts...

    His comments have been a steady input in my everyday life, and now that voice is silent. Of course it leaves a mark, and is a reason for sadness.

    Maybe I'm "emo", I don't know... Would be the first time I was called it

    I am totally shocked!

    My wife just underwent surgery a bit over a week ago and I have not checked much closely.

    To find this! I am at a loss for words.

    RIP HT… what a shame.

    Rest in peace HoreTore. We didn't see eye to eye, but it is sad to see a smart young man go like that. May you find peace in whatever awaits us in the afterlife.

    Beautiful.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Mind if I make a suggestion, the rythem is kinda off. I would put sentence 3 at where sentence 2 is, and replace it with sentence 4, so that the sentences rhyme in succesion in three chords.

    Would also remove the word 'great' and make sentence 5 shorter

    Its actually a real rhyming scheme, I learned about it in high school poetry, often used in sonnets: ABABCC.

    Also Im going to open up donations soon for his plaque. The amount for the plaque is $50, but if we get more than that in donations I will donate the extra to the Strømme Foundation, which is a Norwegian organization which advocates for education and combats poverty in 3rd world countries. I think he would like that.

    I know the rules of a sonnet, but why bother with convention anyway, it would sound better imho, like a staccato. I like to write poetry myself and I often don't find it all that meaningfull that things rhyme at all. I love it when I can put everything in a single sentence.

    I'll put a couple of quid in. If he's looking down on us now that will really piss him off!
