I told you I was hardcore

the last words typed by brandon veda, a young man who committed suicide by drug and medication overdose, live on webcam while he conversed with people on irc who encouraged him.
if you od on drugs while on irc with people who didn’t think you’d do it, say “i told you i was hardcore” to prove your toughness. then die.
“i told you i was hardcore” was one of the last things an irc user by the name of ripper said before he overdosed. he was webcamming this whole event, including the injestion of multiple drugs, and the foaming at the mouth that sealed the deal. ripper should never be forgotten. not for the person that he was, but for the person he wanted to be, and failed to be. there is a great moral in what ripper did infront of an irc channel that the majority of the people did not give two sh-ts about him while the entire event, right in front of their eyes, unvaled.
ripper: i told you i was hardcore
grphish: go call rthe ucking
grphish: poison control center
grphish: ripper: we knew that already
ripper: f-ck u
ripper: pusys
ripper: u are so f-cking stupid
(dies shortly later)
when your friends do not believe that you have done something crazy. when you prove them wrong, you have to say, i told you i was hardcore.
man, i got it up the -ss without any lube, i told you i was hardcore.
