We Would Never Know
The internet is all very mysterious to me really. The reason I say this is, I have been watching a youtuber (rodgerswan) for probably over a year now. Then all of a sudden he just stopped making videos, which it didn’t really hit me because I just thought he was enjoying life since he was in Japan. (He was a teacher in Japan, and vlogged on the Japanese cultures and etc.) Then all of a sudden, after almost a year without seeing his videos, one of his videos popped up in my subscriptions.
As excited as I was from finally seeing a new video, I read in the description box that he had passed away a year ago from internal bleeding into his abdominal cavity from acute pancreatis. It was a complete shock to me that he was gone for so long, and I didn’t even think about why. It turns out as a request from him, he had asked his family to upload his last few videos as he normally would on youtube.
What I loved about him was he was an extremely inspirational person, and he made everyone feel like they knew him. Just by reading the comments on his page, it seems like I’m no the only one who thinks this.
As to what I was saying, the internet really is mysterious. If any of us disappeared for awhile no one would really know what we were up to, or what had happened to us (not unless they facebook creeped you. Oh yeah~~ reference to previous blog)
Here is a link to Rodger Swan’s youtube if you are interested. http://www.youtube.com/rodgerswan
And here is his very last video.

i saw his vids, they were delightful. but I had a japanese friend who spoke about japanese culture so much that I wanted to bludgeon him. Japanese culture is great, but he spoke in such an uppity tone “in Japannnnnn”, ::starts speaking like a hipster explaining how “cunt lickers” is such a contemporary piece of originality::
what a downerrrrr
@BaLob - Cunt lickers xD? Youth is wasted on the wrong people I must say.
@CaKaLusa - It is indeed :/
