Well, it happened...

This morning I broke down and cried.

For a long, long time.

Yesterday was a bad day. Between the bad news about the $550 still due MCAD, I discovered that one of my tired was not in fact patched which I was charged for. Leaving me with a very flat tire. Usually my flat tires on that wheel are only a little from flat so there's still a bubble enough

I'm going to go see a doctor and see if it's all mental. If possible, maybe some anti-anxiety medication will help me cope with the stress of my life.

Being published and $4 still doesn't get me a cup of coffee at Starbucks. I need at least another $.50.

triple filtered?

I'd rather my mood-stabilizing and viagra contaminated tap water for free, thank you.

MMMMMMMmmmmhhhhhh. I love that tinny taste of production waste!

Totally sympathize. I just had my second flat tire in as many days and I will AGAIN be walking my bicycle home 2.5 miles. I HATE leaf-blowers. Yesterday it was my rear tire. Today it's the front. *sigh*

How did a leaf blower kill your tire?

I had to walk 2.5 miles to school every day when I was in high school. It only takes 40 minutes if you're dilly-dallying. Sucks when it's a 5-10 min. bike ride, but at least it's not 20 miles. Right?

There are these evil little thorns on the seedpods of some of the grasses here and the leaf-blowers throw them out onto the sidewalk and road because that's the way the leaf-blower guys work. They don't cart off the leaves, they blow them into the street and let the city take care of them.

Ah, that makes sense. Especially after reading your post.

It's always been the other way around for me. I've can't remember ever thinking about "if I get killed", but more "if/how I kill myself". More practical than poetic, the only benefits I could think of for bridges was experiencing the freefall moments and that'd there would be no big clean up hassles for those I'd leave behind.

I've thought about throwing a noose out of the window and really giving a public display as I live on a pretty busy street on the 3rd floor of a corner building. But then i thought about Bill the Janitor at MCAD. He'd have to clean it up and I....I don't want to do that to Bill. Especially since it'll probably take them about an hour or 2 to cut me down and by then all the fluids in my body would have leaked out.

[theteague]

Yeah, the mess and trauma on others usually edges out the whole display effect of some ways.
Containing body fluids, away from home location for less lasting disturbance and hassle for my roomates, ect.... That's what goes through my mind more than the actual act.

You could be a curtious killer and lay out plastic ahead of time.
