Dead Poets Society

I believe many feel grief over his death because grief is not bound by conventions. It simply is. And, when life is lost, people often grieve.

However, I believe his family have sole rights to condolence for his loss for he was theirs.

who's ted kaczynski?

Sad to note that a funny guy like him is hiding behind the curtain of sorrow. There are so many depressing poems here that are relatable to Robin's depression. Hope their venting out by writing about their depression helps. Maybe they are seeking out for help, we might never know until a tragedy happens.  

How did  ted kaczynski come up? He lived in Schenectady just a couple blocks from me and the high school I attended and taught at. So far as I know I never met him, but we probably shopped at the same stores.

Robin Williams has been in Schenectady and I never met him either.

wish I could of met him before all this.  I remember when he did the tv show Mork and Mindy.  Freaking Classic!!!!!!!!!!!

It shocked me. I couldn't believe it when I read he died then when I read it was probable suicide I was really shocked. I never expected it but sometimes there are things inside people no one see. I will miss him he brighten many peoples days many times. He will be missed by many for sure.

Private jet to my house in Hawaii, for two months off, oh let me see
I’m famous, people love me, and I’ve certainly got enough money

I hire people to cook my food, and I’ve barricaded the beach
And I’ve made sure that there is plenty of alcohol well within my reach

I have people to drive me and a fleet of expensive cars
Bodyguards follow me when I go out, even carrying me home from bars

Close down the malls; I’m shoppin’ for clothes
I’ll need a racks set up for my choices, please put them in color-coded rows

All I need to do is wipe my ass and get out of bed
I have hair and makeup stylists to make up my ugly head

Depression?  Come on.  I have enough money to make me love life
And I have beautiful children, a wonderful job, and even a cute wife

My main home is as large as three football stadiums or more
Pools, staff, even a dock and boats on the shore

I’ve traveled, I’ve seen the world, and I’ve been loved by many an adoring fan
Please don’t think that I am or ever was sad; I’ve done things that no one else ever can

Extravagant parties, all catered and decorated in gold
I’ve got stories of fame and fortune that will go on to be told

What?  Money equals happiness?
Give me a break; that was not my truth; that is everyone else’s guess

The one thing that I want everyone to know about me and how I felt
on the day I committed suicide, is that I’ve been dishonest with myself

I’ve pretended to be a character so I would not have to look too close
At the disease that has never left me but left the real me hovering like a wrinkled white ghost

There is no denying that there was only one way out for me no matter how hard I tried
I wasn’t jailed, I wasn’t institutionalized, I just simply died

You see, those are the only three ways to get out of an alcoholic’s drinking habit
Along the way, there is denial, guilt; I didn’t die of depression; that is bullshit

His comedy, which was very, very funny and clever, always had a manic edge to it. Not surprising that he died the way he did, though a great shame for his family and friends.

After learning that Robin Williams had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, i have to wonder if finding that out played a part in his suicide. He was sober at the time of his death, so that was not a factor. But being depressed and then learning your health is about to take an ever regressing condition until death can certainly lead one to wanting to die. That he was keeping it from the public is telling. He likely could not bare the thought of losing control in such a public way. He did not have the tools to cope with depression and alcoholism, so getting the shakes was probably more than he could handle. He was friends with Michael J Fox and saw what it did to him, not to mention the treatment he got from assholes like Rush Limbaugh. That could easily have played a part in his decision.
Rest in peace, Oh Captain, My Captain!

An odd coincidence or a choice?
Another odd coincidence is that Williams was 63 and born in 1951. I am 51 and was born in 1963.
RIP John Keating!

I felt it man. Was a great movie.

I'd challenge those reading this to go out to and offer a small gesture of kindness to someone in need on the street - buy them a hot meal and a cool drink ... Instead of your pocket change slip them $5 or $10 ... Do something rather than avert your eyes and walk around them - to let them know people still care.

DONE.. and this is another good day-night for it..


.:for Mork:.

 
Forget the hell, mutt
Probably weren’t nothing but dog days anyway
Float on, brother
You were onna trip the rest of us couldn’t understand
So go on and free-fall
Only gravity makes one heavy
And there ain’t none, so you ain’t.
Heavy.  Just another sad-funny man gone
One who was a bit too clear
But not clear enough for himself
The sad part(ing) now seems so blurry
Wherein you & your see-thru piercings
They’ve gone through & through
X-rayed for the whole galaxy to see
Yet still. Born and blind.
And now you’ve gone beyond naked
Truth...taking it
Right into that final frontier
Maybe laughing up the place
Least as much as you can
