Default Svengalie

I'm not good with keeping up with my youtube subscriptions so I'm late on the news. If you watch bike vlogging people on youtube then most likely you've seen or heard of svengalie. He was a funny UK bike rider with some pretty good vids. Him sliding on the wet bridge was pretty funny.

Well apparently he passed away at the beginning of this month. I remember when he setup an instant messenger LCD thing in his house and you could message him 24/7 and it would scroll across the screen. It was cool.

Here's his channel.

Here's a vid someone put together for him.

I've been really bummed all day. Just thinking about the vids of him and other riders made talking about his death. What his kids are going through and what they are thinking. What was going through his mind before his death. I've never been the kind to get choked up or even cry. I just hold it in but with me getting older I'm finding it harder to do so.

I haven't seen an update on how the fire started so I'm holding on to a chance that it was an accident. People have died in fires and had ways to get out. Shits happens and we'll never know why.

Stuff like this pisses me off. What an asshole. There are a lot of people that I wish could have the life this guy just threw away, like Bill. Selfish asshole, that's all you are when you take your own life.
