I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving
hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry
fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the
starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the
supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of
cities contemplating jazz,
etc. etc. & also
“This has been a novel about some people who were punished entirely too much for what they did. They wanted to have a good time, but they were like children playing in the street; they could see one after another of them killed — but they continued to play anyhow…
…”These were comrades whom I had; there are no better. They remain in my mind, and the enemy will never be forgiven. The ‘enemy’ was their mistake in playing. Let them play, in some other way. And let them be happy.”

farewell mate.
although i didn't know you as other usernames or even your real name, i can see why others did have a great friendship with you.
i think we can all relate to alot of what matt either did, or was going through.
through my short time in knowing him he seemed like the kind of person that would do alot to help others around him, and i do value the advice he did pass on and can only hope his death brings up happy memories moreso than unhappy memories.
condolences to those who knew him personally, he will be missed by alot of people for many reasons.

very sad...
RIP splatt
RIP splatt
I wondered who you were.....
Now I recognise your posts even more.
With your behaviour on your more recent moniker, I see no reason why you should be banned.
In time you will heal, I hope you're doing ok.
Cheers
Ya really didn't know? most the mods/admins have known my monikers for years lol

Well...... when you're not looking for it..... 
In the six years i've known splatt, since 2005, he not once ever did wrong by me.
I feel partly to blame for introducing him to G, which likely lead him down the path he followed to the end. His health was poor at current and dealing with it was getting him way down. Not having much money, and being barely able to move didn't help either.
He came down for my 21st bday, as well as in november of 2009 for a period and stayed with me. I first met him with Kandy K in Surfer's Paradise as a random meet up plan, wonder if she knows of his fate... so sad

I suppose, it's not like im trying to be some dickhead around here. LilAngel knew who i was for years, as well as p_d and the others. heh.
Anyway, more news for everyone. Splatts memorial is to be held at the Tweed Heads Crematorium, Mon 11th of April @ 2pm, I'm going to try and get a flight up for it, as i'd like to see my dear old friend off - anyone else please feel free. His family members have said at any time if I, and i'm going to assume and other closer friends off here want to come and visit his room/pictures and stuff, we're welcome any time.

To Splatt's family and friends:
I hope that heaven is with you at this most difficult time.
To Splatt:
May you find the peace in the afterlife that you lacked in this one. You will surely be missed.
The losses in this community we all share should never go unnoticed.
to all.

Psychologically, I could of helped him.
I live in Brisbane, have nearly died from an OD of an *exploitative expletive*/am currently addicted as fuck on benzo's and psychologically dependent on codeine.
I remember how I was always accused of being 'splatt', back during my hey-day reign of all things psycho-stimulating...I reckon that I've contributed about 2000 posts to Bluelight, through various accounts, and splatt, even though I didn't know him on an interpersonal level, was one of my favourite characters, along with phase-dancer/Blondey/the old gang who made this forum worthwile to contribute regularly to it, back in the day when recreational drugs didn't involve the abuse of prescription kiddie-speed/benzo's...etc.etc.
But, nuff said about me.
I take it that he was addicted to GBH (spelling error intended), and ultimately overdosed on it and died at age 28?
I didn't see the article referencing splatt.
But, like Mexico's drug war says in the confines of the treatment aspect, "We let em' OD in the streets, in their homes...Simple, takes care of treatment aspects to drug abuse".
RIP dooood.

I dont think I will ever get past this. After contemplating suicide before and having attempts. Seeing the effects it causes, no way in hell.
Im not angry at you Splatt, you did what you thought was necessary. Can't wait to party with you in whatever after life. You'll have the hookups by the time I get there brother.

I wish we coulda done something. Even if he hadda hated us for it.
There are so many good stories to tell about Splatt. If there was one person you wanted to talk to tripping it was him, he some how knew how to be insude your head and trip you out so much but never in a threatening way.
His use did become over the top towards the end but he did try for a while to get clean, which seemed to make things worse.
I remember when he took 2cb and meph to see if they had any painkilling properties one time haha.
Every one who has ever spoken to him has to admit there was something special to him. I dont think any other death could effect me in this way.
Miss you so much already brother

^i'm with you 100% mate.
I'm not angry at him, i just wish there was something we could have done bro... fuck fuck fuck, i knew his address, i might have been able to get emergency services there. had i not known his tolerance to shit...
I've attempted, failed... and seen what it can cause a family and a brotherhood of friends. So sad - We'll party in the after-life, and we'll party for you.
much love, Zain. your pal for life, and death.
