from summer-eyes :
i'm not sure if anyone will get this... but, if they wouldn't mind, could someone tell me what happened to him? i love reading what he had to say. he must've been amazing.
from labeled-girl :
we woulda drank whisky and boarded up the windows, but eventually, just like we talked about, it all fell down. i can see you on the hood of a car at the end of the world, singing along. but by god, you loved to hate nawlins.
from teashaf :
I miss you every single day. Especially when I am feeling bitter and angry. One day we'll be able to talk again. Until then... stay in my dreams.
from m91879 :
i just read further down the other notes here, Seth, you musta been one helluva guy.
from m91879 :
nice work fella! I'm stickin up a signpost to you, your writing is inspiring all over the place. I checked you out because of Holdenrevolt's nod in your direction and his 'hi-jack' of the phrase last chance texaco, which I believe is a jewel in your site.
from lightfallsup :
seth, one of your entries has been stuck in my head for a week or two now and so today, i had to dig through to find it. it didn't take too long, i've been through here so many times. i ended up, as always just skipping around after i found it. i laughed loud and hard, like my own private sky falling and i wanted you to know you still do that you still make that happen. hope you're well somewhere out there listening to bird jam with trane with the occasional punk anthem thrown in. or maybe the other way around. or both. at once. fuck. i'll talk to you later.

from to-my-heart :
Hi labeled-girl recommened your site to me. You have a great site. Might I visit again?
from rockyraven :
nice thoughts
from throwingjuly :
goddamn you were good.
from throwingjuly :
you know, i never added you to my favorites list while you were alive. reading your words after you died (I read them before too, which makes this all the more puzzling), i can't figure out why i never added you. it's kind of stupid, but those words were and are really good and really true. maybe it's dumb to have regrets about a person you never met, never will meet, but...oh well. this is mine about you, for whatever it's worth, because i was so strangely honored to be on your favorites list. (i'm still don't get it.)
from labeled-girl :
we're all still here. whether we like it or not. and for those of you who keep posting notes, thank you.
from kennethcole :
First I saw you on close to everyone’s buddy list. Then I saw what I consider to be a promising mix of unlikely bedfellows such as The Cure, and Face to Face on your profile. That was intriguing enough, but now I am midway through what I'm sure you already know is some of the most insightful and spiritually teasing writing I have ever had the pleasure of reading.
from lightfallsup :
hey seth, tell lester bangs i said what's up...miss reading your thoughts...
from imperfectlyy :
Wow, you should really come back to Dland. I read one entry that's just...got me. (Date: February 4, 2004)
from moonrattles :
S, just to say I still miss you, and still love your greeting: "well, who are you not to be great." You are one in a million and I miss you tremendously. b
from ssecretlove :
also, your writing is beautiful. really. <3jane
from ssecretlove :
hi! wow i love the cure and jd salinger and my name is jane..but..yeah..shh mines a "secret" diary ;) anyways, you're too cool for school! <3
from lovelynight :
I love your diary. I hope I am able to read more from you in the future, although that does not seem too likely. Your words are so masterful that they hooked me for life. I don't know where you are now, but wherever that may be, I wish you the best. I know exactly how you feel about society and our world. I feel it to--the sexual innuendos in G and PG films, the daily routines we have in life, the popular culture forming today, not to mention the plastered smiles. You have touched me. I hear your words and I know that they are mine, too. So poetically beautiful and amazing, you are. I could die over this diary. --BTW, I loved your last entry..you filled my saddened mind with pictures and thoughts that danced in my head for hours.-- Thank you.
from koreamatron :
aw, man! i just found you, and it looks like you don't even update anymore!
from dry-pavement :
stumbled upon you. your tastes mirror mine. and your words--well, i like.
from pixie-cutter :
your diary really is astounding. xox
from hermitude :
Hey there, I added you because I love your offbeat, sometimes humorous insights. If you're prone to curiosity, my password is walnutroof.
from lightfallsup :
hey, seth. hope, wherever you are, the appleseed cast is playing four night out of the week.
from call-me-xan :
the post from pinkrox was actually written by the person under call-me-xan...
from pink-rox :
I am extremely glad that you have decided to keep posting the wit and wisdom of the punk that still needs a paycheck. I get through the day easier knowing that others feel the way I do. I get through the day easier knowing that there is humor in the things that piss me off. I get through the day with Seth on my mind. Someone of whom I have never met has made an incredible impression on my life that I will live with forever. I talk about the jane chord theory to other people. For me, Seth will live on through the wit and wisdom I have read and continue to share with others. My doodles in class have even become his name and blocked letters that end up spelling out JANE CHORD. Forever in our minds and forever in our hearts. I miss someone I've never met.
from desa :
hey,i justwanted to sya ur write about y people to the shit they, they give it some fancy titile no realy wont ot confes to themsvles y they do it, y they need to do it. Most people just give it some nice reason to sound like their tryin to better themselve and wo confont y they really are. I just wanted to say very longwinded that peopel try to fool themsevle, but some might as well cop up to what their and doing and y. And i apprecite u for saygin y do it and not dress it up. So laters (sorry for the typos)
from lightfallsup :
it's not the same without you (daylight, i mean).
from neuroticaa :
lindsay - i would leave a note in your journal but since i'm here... just wanted to tell you that i think it was really wonderful of you to put up the rest of his writings. i enjoy them so much.
from cherrryhead :
You write good. :)
from hungry-hippo :
Your diary was recommended by a friend, and I was so impressed by your latest entry (plus the earlier ones I perused) that I added you to my buddy list. Not that you care. Anyway, I'm your newest fan, I suppose. If you want to know what my problem is, email me at coeur_surgele@yahoo.fr and I'll give you the key to my warped little world.
from shuck :
wow: "you are the prince machiavelli never dreamed of."
from a123458734 :
I stumbled upon this just a few minutes ago. I had to tell you that it is such a tribute that Seth's words are kept alive, and read, and understood, even after his passing. He really must have been blessed.
from reflecting2 :
i feel massively inadequate placing my own words here. i stumbled upon seth's writing several days ago. as i read more, i'm increasingly impressed by the insight he so eloquently imparted upon others. you are sharing a very beautiful and significant mind with the rest of us. thank you.
from labeled-girl :
thanks, ron. i hadn't read that in such a long time. thank you.
from shuck :
i've been reading since near the beginning, and i'm so grateful that his journal is continuing like it is now. what amazing writing.
from easysecond :
i thought he had come back. and its okay.
from moonrattles :
Thank You.
from lightfallsup :
i guess you weren't disapointed about the no CT after all.
from labeled-girl :
happy new year, baby. it's our day.
from lightfallsup :
janechord, wanted you to know i am reading your first book right now and i love it. thank you as always for existing, for having existed and for wasting your time talking to us.
from lightfallsup :
seth died of brain tumor a couple months ago.
from goodbenji :
i got here by the banner and i want to know what happend to this seth person ... he writes really good ...im very inspired..hes so smart and like so true ...i want to know what happend to him
from neuroticaa :
oh no....
from neuroticaa :
who is lindsay? where'd seth go?
from arachiron :
ITEM! interesting online journals are dying--so is the fortune cookie industry. let me honor seth's memory w/ a metaphor in the context of fortune cookies: his was the era of fortunes like "you will find a pebble that looks like ghengis khan." now without him, the fortune cookie guys have given up and now say, "i'm hungry. they don't pay me well." (no, really, i liked the diaryland. good job seth, whoever you are. i stumbled onto your diaryland 30 minutes ago.)
from cursedfemale :
I regret not finding this sooner.. Seth truly was an intelligent young man.. Brilliant writing..
from narcoleptic8 :
I got here by following the banner, and I just wanted to say how much I was moved by this writing. Seth reminds me of me, or more precisely, the me I try to be. The difference is, with him it's so effortless. His intelligence and artful writing ability are apparent immediately. Just the eyes through which he viewed the world are extraordinary. His writing is so knowing, it's so strong and confident, and yet unsure. Although I've only even been aware of his existence for an hour, it is obvious that we have lost a great mind. I'm just glad we have these entries. I think we can all learn a lot from them.

from kingofpop :
I suppose this is a virtual stone of sorts... I never did drop a handful of dirt, or any sort of gesture, and I have felt bad about that ever since. I remember meeting Seth when he moved to KY, back when I was in seventh grade. Since then, I had regarded him as one of my closest friends. We fell out of touch shortly after high school, but regardless, I have always considered him a close friend, and someone who was very influential on my life. I have a strange feeling that anyone else reading this probably feels the same in that particular regard. Seth and I played in a great many bands together - He was always the singer/songwriter/guitarist, and I was the stalwart bassist. I have always chereished that partnership. And I will continue to do so. At times, I find myself resurrecting some of the songs we used to play. In a way, it brings him back. I always thought about calling him up in the past few years, but I never did. I can't change that now. All I can do is offer a musical tribute, and post a message on a memorial of sorts. There's so much to say, but no way to say it with words.
from tjpn :
I ran across this site looking for your name. I just wanted to lay a virtual stone here -- somewhere -- and say goodbye. Alav hashalom.
from moonrattles :
Hi Seth. I'm not religious but strangely superstitious and I think maybe this might get to you somehow. I never tried to contact you before, but I knew you were there and that was all that really mattered. I wish I had taken the time to reach out because I feel so strange missing you. I'm sorry is all, I guess. You were there and now you arent and I never shared the laughs you so generously supplied, never told you just how much I fell in love with the story of the little boys at the mall trying to buy trading cards with wish money. That was such a great story. I'm finishing up before I get silly. Thanks is all. And may the force be with you.
from palmer79 :
I'm Seth's step-sister, I just wanted to say that I think it is a true testament to his power with words that people who just read his diary and didn't know him in real life are touched by his writing. I read his entries and got a better picture of who he was by reading them. So please, treat yourself to some of his diary.
from ubermonkey :
i just can't seem to stop missing you.

i just can't seem to stop missing you.
from linz-nc :
i knew seth from high school actually. he has always been a wonderful writer and more than that he was a great person. i'm glad to know that more people got a chance to recognize his talent.
from shuck :
i'm missing seth. i didn't know him in real life, but i did know a lot about him through diaryland. does that make me a friend?
from foryourtime :
it's only funny beacuase you're pissed off so much. you should have told him you have some brown poopoo
from ryarianne :
For those of you who don't know, Seth passed away last night due to complications with a brain tumor. His funeral will be this Sunday in Chicago. If you want more information feel free to contact me (fatefulpurse@yahoo.com).
from lightfallsup :
hope all is well. let us know if we need to call dr. carter in check the test results.
from lightfallsup :
that was nice of him.
from hucksterfinn :
it may not be funny in the happening, but it is hysterical in the telling!
from lightfallsup :
you might be talking about rockstar and labeled girl but then again you mgiht not...who knows? who can ever tell who s comcing to visit the elaborate janechord?
from the19thstory :
i came across your diary, and found myself laughing outloud with just about everything you write. good stuff.
from shuck :
i checked my buddy list, saw your name highlighted, and clicked on the link. i read the first sentences. and i thought i was reading me. i've been working in a retirement community just like you for a few months. i serve and stuff. cool experience, no?
from comment-anon :
I work in a nursing home. I see it every single day.
from ivoryshell :
Hey. Just stumbled here, and am enjoying the heck out of your site. Incredibly enjoyable stuff. I almost died reading that "elvis has nothing to do with this." Okay, black humor. But funny as anything. Adding you to my favorites, because you rock.
from party-on :
Hey, just catching up on your diary - your evaporated milk question made me think of a joke. What do invisible cats drink? Evaporated milk! I know, fucking hysterical. I am going to call you this week so that we may hang out. You will not know when, because well, *I* don't know when. But it will be this week. I had a lot of weird things happen to me lately.
from shuck :
when i was a little kid, i thought the telephone poles shot stuff out straight across the road, so i was only relieved when we were in between them... kinda hard to explain/understand i guess.
from vnichols :
hee. my favorite signs as a kid were "NO Loitering." I thought it was some sort of really, really bad littering.
from lightfallsup :
was just bouncing around a bit and came across you as always and wanted to say wanted to say how glad i am to find you here around as always. thanks for scrawling out your loathings for us.
from comment-anon :
I'm catholic but sorry to say an ignorant one. And not once have I gone to confession.
from shuck :
what college do you go to?

hi

from lightfallsup :
one of my foavorite entries so far...damn... i just want to put it on a t-shirt and name a band after it.
from lightfallsup :
interesting question brought on by reading an older entry of yours: do you think people are really "different people" in the sense that they pretend to be someone they're not when online or do you think they're "different people" in the sense that they just say what they really fucking think for once? -talk amongst yourselves. (wait, did i just make a message board out of thejanechord's notes?)
from hucksterfinn :
well put.
from lightfallsup :
love your work and wanted you to know. it is one of the most enjoyable to read i've found. often i just want to put it in my pocket to read at breaks at work and life intervals waiting at traffic, etc. thanks for writing.
from onepinksock :
contrary to popular belief approximately :45am is the best time to be maudlin, i swear. cheer it up at another hour.
from ryarianne :
you're right. i read three or four of her more recent pieces and loved them. who the hell knows what i was thinking before.
from comment-anon :
When the newness wears off you can shit with the door open.
from comment-anon :
It seems every summer around here someone forgets their baby in the car. It's so incredibly sad.
from comment-anon :
Hmmm...Volkswagen commercials or Stickdeath?
from brickey21 :
It's always best to hope for the best and expect the worst. Glad I pleasantly surprised you.

AND UPPERCASE IS SO DAMN ANNOYING
from tpicasso :
That movie where the guy says "would you ask Miles.. hey where'd you get that note?" Was that Basquiat? I think it was but its botherin me that i dont know which movie it was... the diary is cool by the way.
from hucksterfinn :
i must say that i was impressed with your very own jane chord today: A Me. this wasn't intentional, as in insincere or calculated, was it? i like this "me". how are the others?
from hucksterfinn :
what do you mean? mr. peabody was hot, what with the brains and the time travel and shit. what about beaker or do muppets not count?
from hucksterfinn :
you rock harder than mojo jojo and he rocks so hard. just so you know.
from starberrysky :
wow. I seem to have run out of words for how amazing it is to find your writing. You sound like a really interesting, original person. I know it sounds like I'm spilling a bucket of cliches, but discovering someone like that in my Alabama bubble is like Columbus tripping over Cuba, minus the whole Spanish silk trade thing.
