Animals don't go around trying to enjoy life. They spend their days trying to stay full and not get eaten by other animals. That's a human thing.

maybe their lack of "trying" is exactly what makes it so easy for them

2/12/2007 5:35:38 PM

so how mant twwers have committed sucide or just died of other causes? Will tww automatically renew his subsription?

2/12/2007 5:55:24 PM

As long as there's a bank account tied to his Pay Pal account, it will.

2/12/2007 5:59:47 PM

i dont feel like going through 6 pages .. what happened to him?

2/12/2007 6:19:15 PM

he committed suicide

7.62 millimeter reality.

2/12/2007 6:25:25 PM

is there still no confirmation link?

2/12/2007 6:28:25 PM

it's been covered already, that most news sources won't use a suicide as a story.

2/12/2007 6:33:14 PM

A link to check if it's true? There are first had accounts from some of his closer friends on LJ.

2/12/2007 6:33:54 PM

As people have repeatedly said, this is absolutely true. It probably won't be in the news.

2/12/2007 6:37:35 PM

man thats a damn shame .. i feel bad for his family and friends

2/12/2007 6:46:05 PM

I met this guy last year, when I was at Wolf Village; he was meeting someone he knew from TWW, and I invited him into my room to IM the guy. (He was an Asian guy w/ long hair who said he was always posting on TWW about guns.) He was a cool, down-to-Earth guy, and I always remembered and liked him. It's a damned shame, and I hope he is either annihilated or someplace tolerable

This merits the question is man so selfish even after the end?

2/12/2007 7:14:01 PM

did he have any brothers or sisters?

2/12/2007 7:26:27 PM

everyone, McDanger really really cares about this

and he is really upset he died

and he cant believe how people act on the internetz

2/12/2007 7:27:32 PM

I met him once. He was my ex boyfriend's friend. He offered to drive me home one night because he was sober, my ex had been drinking and couldn't drive me, and I was drunk. Thank you again, Frank!

RIP

An older, now married (I think), sister. I don't think there were any others.

2/12/2007 7:31:51 PM

by the way...for anyone who has any doubts about Frank's death.... My boyfriend, who is in the BME (biomedical engineering program) with Frank recieved an email from the BME department mentioning Frank's death, and funeral arrangements, etc...

so, it is true.
I wish it wasnt though...

2/12/2007 7:38:18 PM

We use Euphemisms these days; it makes everything seem no normal and insouciant. What's worse is the people who establish them, tho. They just can't accept the reality of the situation, so they go to fantasy land much like the internet and play pretend.

2/12/2007 7:45:56 PM

Some of you people are such fucking assholes. You have no idea what it's like unless you've been there. Reaching out for help isn't as easy as you seem to think it is and no matter how well you know the person, you can't always see the signs.

I didn't know him, but RIP.

2/12/2007 7:46:25 PM

LOUNGE, retards

did any of you have mothers?

Never knew the guy, but I'm so sorry to hear this. May he rest in peace.

2/12/2007 8:01:51 PM

^^Like, in oblivion, peaceful nothingness.

2/12/2007 8:03:28 PM

I know what annihilate means, but since when could it be used in that sense?

I object. And I know I am right!

And do you mean physically, or "soul-ly"?

2/12/2007 8:07:39 PM

At least since 1847, when Wuthering Heights was published.

"'They won't do that,' he (Heathcliff) replied: 'if they did, you must have me removed secretly; and if you neglect it you shall prove, practically, that the dead are not annihilated!' "

^^^Soul-ly is what he meant.

Physically is a given for us all.

"It's just one of those days where you get nothing accomplished that you wanted to and somehow you manage to take a step backward. I'm not happy with anything in my life right now. I'm stuck in two pseudorelationships where I'm not happy. Gwen is a fucking lost cause as far as I'm concerned. I don't even know why I fucking bother. I can't hang out with her without one of us feeling the need to cry, cause we both lead such shitty lives. Emily, I don't know. I'm settling is what I'm doing. On the surface she adores me but I find her rather annoying. Yet I'm not entirely sure I do. She's one of those girls that always has a smile on their face. She's self-confident, relatively good looking. Here's an interesting thought...she personifies everything that I pretend to be. I come off as a strong-willed/arrogant person that seems to never get rattled, and yet underneath I have nothing to back it up with. I'm miserable, but I keep living life showing the few people that see me on a daily basis a face that says I'm just fine. I really wish that fucking terrorist had fucking shot me the other day, it probably would have put things into perspective for me, but instead I carry on confused. I mean, what do I do? I have all these problems with myself. I see them every time I look in the mirror, and I can be strong willed enough to get a switchblade pulled on me the other day, but I can't get myself motivated enough to take a fucking shower or work out. I really want to give up this semester, I can see myself just flunking out of everything, I can feel it. I'm so broke that I'm behind on all sorts of payments, but I keep gambling on-line, lacking the self-discipline to get out of it. I just can't get myself to break out of all the downward spirals that I keep putting myself into. I just want to give up, point blank."

This was my last LiveJournal post dated 15 Feb 2004 at 1:07 a.m. For any lurkers that may be reading this thread contemplating suicide or just feeling really depressed, I want to say that I could have never imagined how great my life has turned out in the last two years. There have been some shitty times, don't get me wrong (Jan and Oct 2006 in particular), but I've been to Africa, I've traveled to practically the end of the world in South America, and I've got a great job that I enjoy. I graduated my two degrees of my triple major Magna Cum Laude. I cannot complain. And I certainly could have never envisioned that this would be my life. At times I've been, lucky, others I've made my own luck. Either way, it's made for one hell of a turnaround. Depression's a bitch.

2/12/2007 9:20:23 PM

dang man that's deep...glad to hear all is well...wish i had the courage to talk about that kind of stuff out in the open

2/12/2007 10:10:47 PM

^^props to you Ryan...respect for being able to open yourself like that to everyone...and glad things have turned around for you...

2/12/2007 10:15:49 PM

meh, that's not shit compared to what I let loose in the "Own up to it thread"

I think that was Snewf's, whatever happened to that thread, I can't find it. I take it it was deleted?

2/12/2007 10:22:05 PM

As long as we're owning up to shit, I totally got the lamest of all lame.

I once wrote a poem about how I wanted to kill myself and left it up on AIM for a half a day. I actually wasn't suicidal at the time, but here's the super pathetic part...

The poem rhymed.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

2/12/2007 10:26:36 PM

RIP Frank. You will be missed

2/12/2007 10:27:59 PM

me and tripleD4u met him randomly at a shooting range near the fayetteville/lillington area.

he was a cool guy

RIP

2/12/2007 10:30:36 PM

man I actually met the guy but didnt know this was him until my roomate said stiletto was his coworker

2/12/2007 10:35:03 PM

wow thats sad, suicide is not cool

2/12/2007 10:44:47 PM

i heard over the police scanner tonight when i was working (my boss is a volunteer FF) that there was a suicide attempt in Univ Woods tonight. Wonder if it had anything to do with this.

2/12/2007 11:10:32 PM

damn, someone is on top of deleting my posts, but they wont clean up the rest of this.

2/12/2007 11:11:07 PM

I was also among those who had talked to him, but never got to know him really well face to face. He seemed like a nice enough person. Resilience is a part of human nature, it's a sad and unnatural thing when someone gets to the point where there is a total absence of optimism in their life.

2/13/2007 4:05:45 PM

Not to sound insensitive, but did anyone else notice that the detective in The Technician article was named Rollin Stone...wtf? Who names their kid that?

2/13/2007 4:16:37 PM

yes, old

2/13/2007 4:17:48 PM

anyone who thinks that their life sucks so bad that it must be prematurely ended, needs to sit down and talk with a patient who is terminally ill and is struggling daily to survive.

2/13/2007 4:22:25 PM

If listening to "Walking in Memphis" doesn't make you feel better then you suck.

[Edited on February 13, 2007 at 4:24 PM. Reason : _]

Wow---just wow

I am so sorry that I did not know him

I feel this is appropriate and it seems he was successful

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded
