Title: If I Lose My Voice/ Suicide News(a voyeuristic/morbid experiment)

(disappear_completely) wrote in modrockers, @ 2004-09-26 17:02:00.

"I've never been on the receiving end of suicide news, I've always been the cause of the news, but my friend Ray... His grandfather is in the hospital because he tried to overdose. Does anyone have any comforting words that I could give him?"

"Wow, his grandfather? I've never heard of that happening. I'm sorry for that. What I'd say is something along the lines of, there's help out there if he wants it, and if he doesn't then Ray should get help for him. That's the only thing I can give you. Good luck. :) "

"thank you very much. yea...but help isn't always taken easily. i would know. i always refuse help. i know i need it, but i don't know. like i said before, thank you for your concern. i'll let you know when he recovers."


I woke up at 12PM on a Saturday. Shaved, pee and shit. The usual shit... Near my home, I often checked out under-aged girlies, their undeveloped titties ,and of course, the more developed variety . But do you really want to know? ... Went to catch a show. Late. 'The Observatory' at Suntec Tower Records 3PM. I got there at 3:30-ish. Would have gotten there faster if the nicole highway didn't collapse, so I had to drop off at another road and walk quite a bit. And there was the traffic jam, and the change of bus routes bla bla bla bla ... The Observatory. Yea, good. Ambient, jazzy shit. Good shite. Leslie Low should be a guitar legend... eventually. His vocals still stink. Naa. Just blah. And aww... the female vocalist/pianist, Evan. She is HOT HOT HOT. Long flowing hair , slim figure, and a sweet, almost regal voice. A classic.

From Staff Reports:

A man jumped to his death from a Dallas overpass early Thursday, ending a car chase with Farmers Branch police who wanted to question him about an assault. Police attempted to stop the man's vehicle because it matched the description for a suspect who had beaten a woman with a baseball bat in a domestic dispute, Lt. Mark Young said. The suspect stopped on the overhead ramp that takes eastbound LBJ Freeway traffic onto I-35 and leapt over the rail into the westbound lanes of I-635, where he was struck by several vehicles and died, police said.


It's another Saturday and something on that even smaller island made me sick. Been coughing everyday since the 2nd week. I'm guessing it's the mouldy fillings of my pillow or maybe it's the blanket. The hell. Maybe the water has lead in it. Damn isolated camps all process their own tap water. But if it gives me another legit excuse to report sick... I don't care. I've topped up a nice supply of useful drugs since I went back to that island. Lemme see... some antacid, mefenamic acid, some green pills for diahorrea, and a couple of bottles of procodin syrup. I heard from a platoon mate that I could buy restricted cough syrup over the counter from private clinics. About $5 a bottle. Procodin(w/codeine) is confirmed. Don't know about the dex. I remembered that it had a pink label. Don't remember the brand of the syrup mixture. Should have kept the bottle for reference.

Ashland Daily Tidings:

Two months ago the body of local comedian and activist Joanie McGowan was found on the Bear Creek Greenway. She committed suicide after leaving a treatment program. After her death, her struggle with bipolar disorder became public knowledge. "The tragedy with Joanie was she had just started on the journey," said Michael Dawkins, an Ashland resident who has also been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. "Little things got her down. The bigger issues, she was ready to tackle." The disorder is characterized by a rise and fall between mania and depression. The symptoms differ from the normal ups and downs everyone goes through and can result in damaged relationships, poor performance at work or school and even suicide. An individual cannot self-report the illness; the symptoms of bipolar disorder must be observed by someone else. "A lot of times people will describe what they experience as mood swings," said Becky Martin, the division manager for mental health at Jackson County Health Services. "Bipolar disorder can be quite debilitating. People can't control it."

Its been a nice day, yesterday. I don't think I've obtained the desired flu symptoms by getting myself exhausted and chain smoking. All I got was a freakin' headache. For a while, it seemed like possible diarrhoea or stomache upset. Almost threw up after a 45min bus ride(bumpy detours because of a certain highway collapse) , after a whopper jr meal , after that 'Eternal Sunshine' movie. Oh no. The movie was nice. I'm guessing it was the weekend instant noodles diet and the ice coffee(and probably the medium-sized coke too)that did me in. The smoke just made me look and smell more replusive. Mmm... menthol-flavoured fries! Imagine this lanky, shaved-head, unshaven-face guy smoking. Yeah, f%ckin cool ugly bitch. And the menthol-flavoured fries... Maybe it was the menthol-flavoured fries.

Seoul::

A celebrity suicide has triggered a wave of copycat suicides in South Korea in the past month, with wall-to-wall media coverage of the high-profile death blamed for the phenomenon. The number of suicides jumped 2.5 times from an average 0.84 to 2.13 people a day following the death of Lee Eun-Joo, a 24-year-old movie star a month ago, according to Seoul prosecution authorities. Lee hanged herself after succumbing to a bout of depression on February 22. Officials at Seoul central district prosecution office said 49 people committed suicide in 23 days immediately after her death in the seven districts in central and southern Seoul under its jurisdiction. In contrast, 45 people killed themselves during 53 days before Lee's death. One in three of the suicides that occured since Lee's death involved people in their 20s, up 15.5 percent from the number of people in their 20s -- the same age bracket as Lee -- killing themselves in the previous period. The number of hangings jumped from 53.3 percent of all suicides prior to Lee's death to 79.6 percent for the following month.

Woke up, 5AM. Breakfast was some bread, kaya, butter, and a crappy veggie bun that tasted like a cockroach, 'cept cockroaches taste much more bitter. And crunchier. Drove my rover between the blocks. And waited. And waited... damn. Half-asleep, now and then. When the buggers finally 'fall in', I sat in my rover watching the whole battalion. Nope. Alpha's missing for this weekend. Watched 'em ran out ,and in again. And afterwards, more physical activity. I sort of lost consciousness in parts... Paperwork in the office, which is supposed to be classified and I'm not suppose to tell you about it, not that you would make any sense out of it anyway... 20484 smoking!... 32295 change duty before 5th... Excuse dates for another clever young man. An ungrateful, unmotivated, and under-paid scumbag... 15th-31st ... The other half of the day was more pleasant, relaxing , and even more boring. And I didn't have time for lunch. I ate some peanuts. I think I shat peanuts tonight.

Knight Ridder Newspapers:

Kim Desjarlait wondered on Wednesday how the nephew she knew as polite and happy when he lived in the Twin Cities could have killed nine people and himself on a northern reservation. Cyberspace confessionals attributed to Jeff Weise provided answers dating back to the supposedly happy childhood he found almost too painful to address. One posting claimed that before she suffered a debilitating injury in a car crash, Weise's mother struck him often "with anything she could get her hands on," drank excessively and told him his birth was "a mistake." As authorities try to figure out why Weise turned violent, the Internet offered possible clues - in contrast to his aunt's impressions...

I got a message to tell me I gotta be back in camp by 6:45AM, and my day is ruined. It wasn't that great to begin with, but it was at a relaxing pace. The way I like it. There was a damnable 21 kilometre run that sunday morning(yesterday). I was so tired. The message came at 2PM, when i just woke up. Crap. I don't have a car. Car ownership is madly expensive. And a bike would set me back a few thousand. And I'm dirt cheap poor, if u don't count in the cost of keeping me alive. There were times when I would live on potato chips and instant noodles, just to get that CD album to keep my soul at ease. But what is it worth. Another distraction... Earliest bus gets here round 5:50, and I would reach camp around 7:05. 7 if I'm lucky. I'll have to waste $10 on a taxi.

... "16 years of accumulated rage suppressed by nothing more than brief glimpses of hope, which have all but faded to black," he wrote in an undated personal biography on one Web site. "I can feel the urges within slipping through the cracks, the leash I can no longer hold ..." With so many dark postings surfacing and being attributed to Weise, FBI spokesman Paul McCabe said the agency is aware of their potential importance in helping understand a mass murderer's frame of mind. Though the teen's slide toward violence was apparent in comments he made and the drawings he showed to classmates, his aunt puzzled over when and why he lost his way. "Jeff was a really good kid," Desjarlait said in an interview. "I felt that he was a bright kid. He loved to draw. He loved to play video games. He loved to go out and eat. He was a really polite kid. Any time he wanted something or needed something, he always asked for it." Weise was acquainted with pain and sorrow. His father, Darryl "Baby Dash" Lussier, committed suicide in 1997 and his mother, Joanne Weise, was left brain damaged by a car accident in 1999...




I could tell you secrets. Mildly shocking ones, stupid ones, childish ones. Or my secrets. Personal ones. They're not really much of any secret. Several ... No. Many people have come to know my secrets. Nasty rumours. Only not so nasty because they are secrets I am comfortable with... But the 'best' secrets I have, or should I say the 'rael' secrets , are stuff I would rather never remember or mention. If I told you such 'stuff', would it seem like I'm coming clean? For real? I wonder if I would punch you in the nose if you would spill it to anyone. OK OK. I'll say... I am lonely, I get manically depressed. I cried when my parents separated. When my father talked about possibly whacking my mother just because she has a boyfriend, I didn't feel a thing. I wanted so much to love her more. I still feel guilty for that. The only thing that I can think of to justify my pointless life ... The only naive, noble purpose I could deceive myself with. Is. That I should at least repay my impossible debt to my parents, and try to be a fillial son while I'm at it. An impossible task to force myself to carry on until the sickening end... That's the best secrets I could recall to mind. Not too impressive is it? Now that I've said it. Will they become trivia? Will I post them on message boards for all to see?

"I'm nothin' but your average Native American stoner," it said. "I'm mellow half the time, mostly natural, but mostly drug induced as well. I'm not a junkie, or an alcoholic, MJ is my gal' of choice. Enough about that though, I don't know why you're reading this anyway. I'm gonna roll this joint so I'll c'ya later ..."

it's been 3 days since i officially completed my national service. i've been living like a vampire. surf net through the nite, sleep in the morning, go out when the sun starts to set. 9 to 9 , what is in my mind what is in my mind? really does seem like the army stole my brain. what was in my mind? im sure i know a lot, but it looks i forgotten most of it. like reclaimed land, it's coming back, not quite the same, something new. (not 'reclaimed land' as in dump soil into the coast to make for land to use. more like conquered land, returned me to its rightful owner)

Drawings Weise made at school and online activity suggested he was a neo-Nazi, to which Desjarlait expressed surprise. "That's just coming out of the blue," she said. "That's not how he was raised."

MAYBE i'm gonna take up the job as a security officer. 12hr workday, 6 days per week, but the pay is decent. enough for me to pay for TV, cheese, n some left over for the bills/debts. but the big head made such a big fuss about me being over-qualified, i might try something else.

His favorite hobbies were listed as "Drawing, Listening to Music. Chillin. Getting high..."

called in sick today. damn sniffles. it's not that bad. but since ive decided to quit a little earlier, why bother to try harder? man, i sound like a slacker. oh. i am one. darn. the supervisor told me i have to give 1 weeks notice before quiting. oh crap, 1 more week of BS n boredom. i gotta remind myself to stop taking pain killers when this is over. im getting hooked. ahhh... *go gets a ciggy*

"The instrument of my resurrection was supposed to be freedom," said his Jan. 4 entry. "But there isn't an open sky or endless field to be found where I reside, nor is there light or salvation to be discovered. Right about now, I feel as low as I ever have. I don't think it's a big secret why, really. My biggest disappointment and downfall came from what was supposed to be the one thing to lift me from the grave I'm continually digging for myself. Nah, never. Only the worthy are saved, y'know."

been almost a week since i started coughing. started with a little flu. well, lotsa sneezing. i don't do so well under colder weather. now all other symptoms seem to be suppressed cept for this incessant coughing.

"I'm starting to regret sticking around," he said. "I should've taken the razor blade express last time around. ... Well, whatever, man. Maybe they've got another shuttle comin' around sometime soon?"

i haven't been able to sleep properly, not w/o waking up every couple of hours coughing like shite, n hearing my father nagging(which made me cough more for some reason), and i end up (finally) typing this boring blog entry. which i doubt anyone would believe.

"On anti-depressants. Seeing a therapist ..."

doctors ive seen for this prolonged symptom look at me suspiciously like im exaggerating or faking it. my parents think im not eating right or something and then go on to blame it on everything i do. i love myself. who else would.

From Erich Maria Remarque's World War I novel, "All Quiet on the Western Front." It is uttered by the story's narrator, Paul Baumer, a private in the German Army: "We are little flames, poorly sheltered by frail walls against the storm of dissolution and madness, in which we flicker and sometimes almost go out."
