pharmakos (aka thenightwatch)

i think he's the poster that made a thread that was something like post your you tubes for people that don't do illegal stuff enough to care if their identity is known or something... pretty sure that was the same poster. i liked his you tube. wasn't that familiar with him on the site, but i think he had some cool singer song writer tunes if it's the same poster. his you tube was just him playing guitar and singing at the same time on some rock tunes. i didn't go back in his profile to see if it's the same poster. i'm almost sure it is though. poster Deficit was another poster with a similar style in some videos in the post your own recording thread.
 
Wow I just saw this on Facebook too.

From what I saw he was going through Chemo and treatment for cancer. I saw he had a chemo port installed last month. I am guessing it is Cancer related.

This is very sad news and thenightwatch will be missed. Cancer is such a fucking bitch and he was relatively young still.
 
Chaz was one of the Greats.

He was part of the original PD Social family, and not just part of it, but one of the indispensable regulars who made that little slice of the internet truly special. That was so long ago now, I can hardly believe it. Was 2008 really 17 years ago? It seems like it was just yesterday that I'd come home from morning classes at uni, pack a fat bowl, open up my chunky black MacBook and shoot the shit with Chaz and all the "swirly folks" in the PD Social thread until well into the evening, just killing time until my girlfriend got off work. The future seemed so far away then, we had our whole lives stretching out ahead of us; the end was somewhere way out there, far off, over the horizon.

“. . . yet there is no avoiding time, the sea of time, the sea of memory and forgetfulness, the years of promise, gone and unrecoverable, of the land almost allowed to claim its better destiny, only to have the claim jumped by evildoers known all too well, and taken instead and held hostage to the future we must live in now forever.” (Thomas Pynchon, Inherent Vice) ​

Chaz was also an A-team Lounge Rat, back when The Lounge was still truly TehLöūñgê and the rats were royalty. Now that was absolutely peak internet: nothing will ever compare to The Lounge in 2013-2015 (it's had many fine eras, but those years were the crest of a high wave). TTYS, Vocaroo thread, IWS, shoops, TinyChat, and of course the Nudie thread...perpetually featuring Chaz's big, astonishingly crooked weiner. Lmao, what a Mensch.

He took a lot of shit and dished it out too, always in good fun. So many nights spent hanging out on BL tinychat: playing guitar, getting drunk, getting high, just fucking around, often laughing until it hurt, and sometimes until the sun came up. He was a great musician, and a really smart dude. I never felt like anything went over his head. He could party with the best of them, too. I'll never forget the time he got blasted on MXE and wandered out in the snow barefoot, which resulted in the most gruesome case of frostbite I've ever seen in my life. Looked like his feet were gonna fall off. I could tell many more stories, but I'll leave it at that.

Suffice to say, I'll miss you ol' PAL. Put in a good word for me with the Big Lounge Mod in the Sky. And say what's up to Dex and Loblaw for me, I miss all you guys so much.

Until we meet again, my friend...



Requiem aeternam dona ei, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat ei.
Requiescat in pace.
Amen.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
Amen.​
 
Wow, RIP. No real words to say. I hope he is rolling around heaven.
 
I didn't know them but my soul knows we have shared this place in the aether and I mourn and celebrate its passing. I hope that there wasn't much suffering. Plant a poppy.
