Did he write that when he was 16? Makes me sad that he had already accomplished so much at that age, and is not there anymore.

Exactly what I thought when I saw the year in the URL. This is just incredible. There isn't a slightest hint of being written by a 16 year old. What a huge loss

Why? He finished all his work quickly and got to leave early. Some people don't squander their hours.

  As the comedian Doug Stanhope says : "I'm kinda out of shit. Not in this set, I mean I have some stuff I put on paper. But in the long term, I think I'm outta shit. [I'm] fucking cannibalizing my own— seventeen years, how much more do you have to say? If I die soon, don't ever say I died too young. [...] Every time an artist dies young- Kurt Cobain, or whatever, there's always the people "It's so sad, he had so much more to give." — How do you know? Maybe he was out of shit. How do you know? He's done. He got all the money, he did all the drugs, he fucked all your holes. And that's the American Dream, and when you're done with that you go "Oh, that's why they call it a dream. — It's bullshit, I'm still empty." And he cashed out. How do you know what any artist had left? How do you know if Jimi Hendrix hadn't had died he wouldn't have wound up doing Superbowl half-time duets with Elton John right now?"

I felt suspicious about it so I opened http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/ http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/ : "/2002 is a home for random things I want to publish." So it doesn't seem to be the publication year.

  Web archive has it at Jan 2003, so it seems to be awfully close.

    Right. Given the time to index, it could indeed come from 2002.
