Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
I guess i should get around to saying it: Welcome Back Uzume! If preston didn't get around to catching you up on the name changes you knew me as MM&I and the guy with the Gaelic version of "Sonic Glitch" is Rochey.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Just wanted to show my appreciation to everyone for welcoming me back. It is so refreshing to actually have conversations based on current events with learned people.
Frickn' hill billies. Nothing against the great out doors, I love it. Even the simple don't have to be simple minded.

I just found out one of my friends from High School killed himself yesterday. We were closer friends in elementary/middle school when we were both in Scouts but I was always on friendly terms with him. I guess it really is the quiet ones....

I'm sorry, man.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Ouch, I'm very sorry, that really sucks. I always have bad feelings about some people, so I check up on people very often, very very often, and make sure that they don't do anything stupid. But yes very very sorry.Sonic Glitch wrote:I just found out one of my friends from High School killed himself yesterday.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Thank you. We weren't as close as we could've been. We were in scouts together and good friends. Once he left the troop we kinda drifted apart, remaining on friendly terms but not quite as close. Occasionally in HS i would think to myself "I should go talk to Marcus, see how' he's doing" but never got there. I can't even imagine what his parents are going through. They were all very close. I know they say it's the quiet ones but I don't think anyone who knew him would've expected this. He was a good kid... (aren't they all?)Nickswitz wrote:Ouch, I'm very sorry, that really sucks.

It's rough, love, one of my very good friends took his life 3 yrs ago by way of a 44 revolver. My 7 yr old son's father hung himself 9 mo ago as well.
Some people just can't forgive themselves.

Re: What's the latest in people's lives?
Yeah, sometimes it isn't even forgiveness they want, so many things can cause someone to take thier lives, depression, stress. Truthfully, the human mind is so fragile that it can be mended and broken so easily. I've done 'studies' on this myself, and a smile can make a person be 10x happier than they were before. A smile can mend a broken relationship, or break it down more, it's all so unpredictible, and you really can't tell what someone may do until after they do it, sadly.Uzume wrote:Sonic Glitch wrote:I just found out one of my friends from High School killed himself yesterday.
