In Memoriam...

I have horrible news.

Chuck Bass is dead.

No, not that Chuck Bass.  My fish, Chuck Bass, has taken the long journey to fish heaven.  He was a great pet, and a better friend.  He will be sorely missed at the Chambers. (Also, known as my apartment.)  My favorite thing about Chuck is when he would come right over to the glass and make fishy faces at me while I fed him.  I mean, the logical part of me knows that he was just looking at his own reflection but it really felt like we were connecting.  I guess I'll always have my memories.

Chuck in better days...

I know that some of you are going to take this news hard.  Please know that Chuck was properly honored with a sea burial.  And take solace, like I do, in knowing that Chuck is in a better place.  At times like this I find comfort in the immortal words of the late Tupac Shakur:

Ain't no place I'd rather be, chillin' with homies and family
in a sky-high iced-out paradise in the sky
Ain't no place I'd rather be, only place that's right for me
chromed-out mansion in paradise, in the sky

Here's to you, Chuck Bass, I hope your chromed-out mansion in paradise is all you ever dreamed.
