I'm driving on this particular shift, my crewmate is in the back dealing with the patient.

Niniane - so what is your take on this sad and tragic story?

Added to Google-branded RSS reader. Thanks for the link.

ReplyDeletethat last line was horrendous
ReplyDeleteI have had a few friends commit suicide over the years...
ReplyDeleteJackasses...

Helps prove Darwin's theory.
Weak pieces of shit.
I did not even go to the funerals.
Fuck Them.
kkk, "nobody luvs me" is a sad being. I have seen once in my life such a being from a close distance, and I say thank You I dont do this anymore.
ReplyDeleteAnd as to the suicide, blah scary stuff, have seen it long time ago it sucks. We were worth being called to this planet and we are here just to prove it.
