I could openly weep right now...excpet my roomate is watching me:

You see, when i wa a young stupid kid, I had practically no social skills. Living in an abusive houshold, i learned to speak to people the way i was spoken to, and as a result did not have many friends. I was weird and alienated...you know, like a lot of kids feel.

Then, WRIF introduced me to a band from Philly, full or weirdos with scratchy voices singing about things that were very, VERY funny to me. I bought all thier albums (on tape). I saw them in concert, and when I couldn't find enough Dead Milkmen T-shirts, I made my own. "Kiss me i Smoke Bannana Peels" was my fave...

And you know what else?
Nothing makes me angrier, sadder, or more helpless than a suicide...especially since i haven't felt suicidal in almost 10 years.

Goodbye Dave, may you return as someone you like better.

Man...it just sucks so bad. People who kill themselves suck...but the DM do not suck.

It's quite a lofty connundrum.

Yeah, I saw 'em twice. Drag, man.

I know, we're sad around these parts.
I've so many great memories from Milkmen shows.
I took my sister to her first ever back in 91 or 92, don't recall exactly. Well, I've smoked a lot since then.
She had a great time, but my 'rents were pissed because I brought her home bruised, dirty, and reeking of smoke.
If you don't have it, get Live from the Trocadero, you can hear my sis screaming in the background.
He'll be missed. =(

We'll name her Minnie Pearl, just you and me, punk rock girl.

How sad.

Big Lizard in my backyard...and you should see the way it shits. I can't wait til Joe's old enough to hear the Dead Milkmen. He'll really enjoy their music and sense of humor. Sad to see a member go.

I was damn sad...although hearing it was a suicide made me cryin' mad.

Suicides just make me want to punch people.

Punching dead people...I wish it would knock some sense into them. Sadly, it does not. I know I've felt suicidal many many times. Joe has prevented me from ever truly considering suicide as an option. Velcro kept me from suicide, then Bat, now Joe. Maybe he just needed someone to love and rely on him. I truly believe that if you feel needed, you won't do it, even if life really really sucks. My life is fucked up right now, but knowing that Joe, Bat, Billi, and WAAM need my care, I'll be living for as long as *choose your diety* lets me.

I know what you mean. I too have had those kind of thoughts in the past. And now that i recognize them for the self indulgent, cowardly shit it is...it's hard to feel sympathy for someone that determined to fail.
