OK this is a pretty serious subject so I will try and handle it with a little more respect than I normally write… not as much as it deserves, probably, but there you go

I found out on sat that two of my classmates from high school had killed themselves. I don’t know much of the particulars just that the one of them who had been a friend of mine suffocated himself with carbon monoxide (the old running car in the garage trick.) This guy I thought was a pretty cool guy and we had hung out together a couple a times. He wasn’t a really smart person, neither book smart nor otherwise, but he was funny and fun to hang around with.

Why would he kill himself?

I guess I don’t really care, I would most likely never see him again anyway except at school reunions or something. If he was still alive I probably wouldn’t be able to even pick him out of a crowd.

That dumbass

This was a guy that did bellyflops off the diving board to try and get girls’ attention. He had a wide freckled nose and a gaptooth grin. I think he got like a 12 on the ACT which raises the possibility that he simply forgot to turn the car off and come inside.

I knew his parents were dicks to him and his sister but I guess you never realize how much people around you may be suffering.

If he were alive right now I’d bitch slap him

C’mon man! You could still run away and be a hobo, or join a cult they’re always looking for new members. In prison you get free cable and some of the finest weight room facilities of any public institution (still not that good but serviceable.)

Oh well it’s too late for that now. The other dead guy I remember as being kind of a jerk so he doesn’t even get such a reverential blog entry as above.

Sorry that you’re dead, fellas. I’ll catch up with you later
