I know timing is everything, but I really want this suicide note to be perfect!
Prominent and semi-prominent people are dying. A lot. While we're not fearing the reaper, I figured I might as well make some glib commentary.
What can we do when our heroes off themselves?
- Sigh with relief about that last-minute decision to use pencil for "heroes list."
- Soliloquize in public places about the aberrant parody of humanity that is modern existence.
- Write a poem or short story.
- Throw a my-hero-died-so-buy-me-stuff party.
- Send a strongly-worded letter to Jesus.
- Shrug with jaded cynicism and tell everyone you saw it coming.
- Find new, less talented, more stable hero.
- Use it to get out of school/work/rehab.
- Let everyone know that you had nothing to do with it.
- Call friends to arrange collection of bet winnings.
- Make a list of mildly amusing reactions to mask your bemused chagrin.
