Screwed up Month

[Simon Darkshade]

Nice last month, aint it been. First me best mate gets killed, then several other I know go down on 9/11 as the world goes to sh1t, and now me mother tests positive to TB. When it rains it pourts, hey?
I know many have it worse, but right now, I rock bottom am. I still have the utmost sympathy and feeling for my fellow human beings in NY, but now fate strikes close at home, and right in my ****ing face as usual. What can you do?

 

[Graeme the mad]

Always look on the bright side of life

duh, duh, duh,duh,duh,duh,duh,duh

Even when something somehting something

duh, duh, duh,duh,duh,duh,duh,duh



I know its not much help but its all I have

 

[G-Man]

Do you know when Monty Python sang this song? It was when Jesus (Brian, in their version) was crusified. And the song also said:

"For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it -- it's the last chance anyhow!

So always look on the bright side of death
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of ****,
When you look at it.

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!"

Not too cheering up I'm afraid.
Besides, when something like this happens to you.. I can only imagine how hard it must be.

I know exactly how you feel Simon - my big brother died last friday from a brain tumour. He had been struggeling with it for almost four years so the family and friends were prepared for it, but it still hurts so much.

I know that you held a speech at your friends funeral, I did the same thing at my brothers, somehow I just had to do. And I felt a lot better after having done it - somehow it was my personal way of saying goodbye to him and frm now on it can, hopefully, only get better.

I'm still very emotionally weak - every time I see something on TV or read something about the World Trade Center attack or other things I still get tears in my eyes.

He was my brother and I shall always treasure the memories that I have of him..

Don't worry about it dawg. There a lot of us in the rock bottom club. This has indeed been on ****ed up month/summer. It will all get better, sometime.

Simon and Shadowdale, you have my sympathies. I lost my son this summer - went to the inquest just two days ago - and lost my job too. I won't patronise you with recipes for happiness. I will just extend my hand to you both in shared understanding. Years of suffering have brought me a rare resilience, which is fine for me but I wouldn't wish those years on anyone else. My only advice is that time and self-honesty seem eventually to heal.

1. Grandfather dies
2. Computers nicked when we are at funeral for Grandfather
3. The incident in NY
4. I haven't done my write up of my summer field work yet
5. Due to another fieldtrip to Skye (next Thursday) I couldn't go to Czechoslovakia on holiday with my family

 

[Alcibiaties of Athenae]

I won't go into lists, because I knew about the things that most my friends posted here already.

We have all lost so much, Simon, but to surrender to despair is the final defeat.

Our only chance in life is to rise above the hurt and pain, and again regain our happiness.

All I can offer all of you whom are my friends, is the promise that there WILL be better days.

We have all seen the dark, and now we must all see the light again.

Life is hope.
