Not sure why this compels me to share this, but I will. I've had two friends commit suicide in the last 5 years. I later found out one of them actually set up a live feed of it on You Tube. That really shook me when I heard about it. Him and I used to always pal around / goof off together in junior high. Amazing how unhappy people can get over the years.
