I remember him quite well. We actually came to these boards at the same time, after the JLR was semi-banned (but not really) from the DCMBs. Actually, I always suspected that he'd been coming here before that, but I never bothered to ask--but that's neither here nor there.
He was a great man of great dreams. He hoped to model, take over the college radio waves, and perhaps one day escape from the endless void of the Friend Zone. He was a great man of dreams.
But now, now he's gone. Sure, he pops up every so often to make a post here, a post there BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME! It's not the old Brian who used to get all huffy when you made fun of his sexuality. It's not the same (young)Nightwing who was best described as a mix between Goku and that dude from all the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" commercials and romance novel covers. Damn, that would have been much shorter to type if I could have just remembered that dude's name.
Anywho, I miss DJ Brian, the lover, the dreamer, the inspiration to us all. But now, now I truly do fear he's gone.
I, of course, blame everyone but myself.
