A Funeral For Greatness

I close my eyes
Only for a moment, then the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind, ohh

Now, don't hang on
Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
The wind

We are gathered here today to pay tribute to a being who transcends trolling and humor itself, another taken much too young and in the prime of life, the gamblerk2k4 historian.

I announced with 30 left in the 100k that if g2k4 made 5 digits off of that tournament, that I would relinquish my title. He made 22k. I lived up to my end, albeit with much regret.

As I look at that blank void that is my undertitle I can't feel as though part of me is now void and dead. Lost in the shuffle without purpose or hope.

But if we can learn one thing from gamblerk2k4 historian, let us never forget that for as long as we all shall live, A4 > KQ, and that hand histories never go out of style.

And now, for the very last time...
