1/11/2013: RIP aaron schwarz

This morning, I woke up and saw my own name, Aaron Schwarz, trending on Twitter and I began to read about how I had just died:

Obviously I was alive. Well, I mean, that's debatable. Aaron Swartz, one of the founders of Reddit, who I had no idea even existed before this happenstance, was suddenly all over the internet after having passed. But many people were spelling his last name the wrong way.

I guess it must mean something related to me…because everything here means something and is on purpose, not coincidental.

Aaron Schwarz is my birth name, even though Schwarz is not my father’s last name, it’s the last name of my German half brother, Donald. My mother simply never changed her last name after she divorced HIS father. My father and my mother were never married.
