Mood: exhausted but workable
A talented man died last week. Michael Buonauro. on the 27th of May he chose to take his own life to escape the misery and depression he felt. you may not have heard of him, but he was involved in the creation of two webcomics at least, and also had a brilliant hero story going, about Marvellous Bob. here is the link. Check it out: www.unknownhero.com
Michael had an online Blog too, at Live Journal, which you can link to from the Marvellous Bob site. It goes right up to his last day.
Suicide is not pretty. It is not pretty because we get left behind with the misery of their passing, and doubly so because we know they have thrown away their chance at eternal life. In fact its downright awful.
I was reading the tributes and comments in reply to his posting and came across something one of his friends had written on his webpage:
"Sometimes, (like right now), I wish that I was still a christian. That way I could raise my fist to heaven and curse god for allowing such things to happen to people, and that if god would allow such things to happen then I won't be spending my time believing in it."
That saddens me more than anything i know. This person wants to believe in God so he can curse him for letting bad things happen.
It angers me too. can't people see their own selfishness and stupidity?
We blame God whenever something goes wrong, but where is God when things are going right? Does it make it easier to try and place the blame on him? God allows suffering in the world. true. But suffering is a result of Human Sin. And this person, i know is striking out in grief and rage, but read the last sentence. God doesnt need our belief. he exists whether we believe or not.
The guy who wrote this now worships Anubis as his god and father. Anubis is the Egyptian god of death. one of the chief gods in the pantheon.
On another note, the chick didnt turn up to the lecture, so I texted her. no reply. oh well. im moving on.
And in other news, i have decided that I am going to go to London at the end of the year (or early next year) for a few weeks to visit my friend (N, the 26yo sister of my best friend) who is going over in September. So! London it is! and im starting to get excited about it already! hmm.. its gonna be a bit nippy. And also, ive been told i need something called money...
Well thats what Im working 9-5 for tomorrow at the Comic shop, then 6-10 at the video store! :D its all good!
Oh, and Hi to Mike who has been replying to my rantings recentley! :D your site isnt working mate! i would have gone to it, but i cant! :P
And Hi to Nato and Michelle and Scott! All of whom's sites you can find right over to your left! :)
Peace out!
