This album has been released a few times, it was released in red last month but there is a limited number of copies each time and I missed out. Thought I’d share for anyone else who might be interested.

Hey, I made a website for Harris Wittels and used your foam corner master list as a reference. Hope that's ok! I also linked to your Tumblr on the website too to try to give you more credit. Cool tumblr by the way (and name ;) ), i dont have one of these but it's pretty neat! It's not letting me post the website URL but its www harriswittels .wiki (spaces, sorry) => let me know if there's anything you think would be good to add too!

Oh wow thanks!! Love this idea and really glad my foam master list is getting some use

Harris Wittels would have been 31 today. I’m going to miss his fucked up humor.

We all know that drug addiction is a huge part of the entertainment industry. I can easily count many celebrities who have passed away as a result of this disease. Being in a twelve step program myself, it is not uncommon for people that I know to fall victim.  It has become something that I am fairly accustomed to - and while this doesn’t make it any less sad, it does become somehow easier to process. Mostly.

I did not personally know Harris Wittels. I have never met him. I did not suffer a personal loss. I did, however, feel close to him in a different way, as a fan of his comedy and his work. In hearing of his death, my mind has been circling with emotion. When I see what addiction does - tragedy manifesting in countless lives, the same story over and over with a few details changed - I am still heartbroken. Moreover, I am angry. 

I don’t know that I have the right to be angry, but I am. Addiction is all-consuming and cares only of itself; I know this because that is who I was, and who I could easily become again.  It is poison to those with it and to those surrounded by it. My anger stems from being powerless - powerless over the choices of others, my inability to force anyone to see things in a rational light. I have found a happy life by following suggestions that in turn changed my perception of the world around me. This happened because I wanted it to. I had the willingness to do what it took to get to this place.

I know that there is no possible way to impose a solution on others. Hell, the way it worked for me isn’t universal, and my solution may not be the same as yours - but I wish it was clear cut. Something that didn’t require pain before surrender. I suppose I may just be wishing that I could play God. I could probably analyze this a million different ways but in the end, I just hurt for those affected by the disease of addiction. So I will continue to reach out to those who are willing to ask for help, rather than impose on the ones who are not ready. God knows I wasn’t ready until I made the decision.

I have no idea how to end this, so I will just say that I am grateful. I could have easily traded places with any addict who has died, because I am not unique. I am humbled. My heart is with those suffering as a result this disease - Rest in peace, Harris.

My new goal is to get on like a news program and somehow have to say the phrase 'A modest amount of people" but sneak in like 'A modest mouse of people.'" So say 'Modest Mouse." That's my new plan.

On February 19th Harris Wittels passed away at 30 years of age. It’s strange because I didn’t know Harris personally, I honestly had no idea who he was until finding out about his passing. It’s strange because after I found out that this Parks and Rec writer died I really wanted to know who he was and his story. He was the person I strive to be, a funny, lovable TV writer, comedian, actor. It’s strange because I felt worse as I listened to a 2 hour podcast with him and Pete Holmes and I really got to know part of his story and his struggles. I also read beautiful pieces that people from Parks wrote such as Aziz Ansari and how Harris was just such an amazing writer and friend. Aziz included pieces of a script that Harris had worked on for a movie that “never saw the light of day.” It was so funny and so original. As a writer and aspiring TV writer and member of this large film community I feel like it is much more than a community, I feel like it is a family. I don’t know if it is appropriate since like I said I didn’t know Harris personally and I can’t imagine the pain his true friends and family feel but I feel like he was an extension of a much larger family that I am apart of, the film industry family, the writer family, the human being family! I mean we are all part of any family that we want to be apart of and I think as humans we don’t have to isolate ourselves, we are never alone, we are all family. So in the end it’s not that strange because I’m sad that a fellow industry member died, a fellow writer, a fellow human being. We will miss you Harris, even if we didn’t know you, you still made us laugh and you seemed like a great guy. Look into who Harris was and listen to this podcast! Also remember that if you or somebody you know is struggling with addiction, you’re never alone and help is always within reach, so many people love you and you matter very much. Never forget that, never forget your own self importance, never forget each other. We are all here for one another. http://www.nerdist.com/pepisode/you-made-it-weird-236-harris-wittels-returns/ #HarrisWittels #Twittels #Wittels #ParksandRec
