BUT YOU TOO PUNK TO DO IT AT HOME BECAUSE, WHO GIVES A SHIT...

SO, WHY NOT GO TO A HIGHSCHOOL ON MONDAY MORNIN AND TURN IT INTO

MONDAY MOURNIN

FOR A BUNCH OF KIDS SOMEBODY TOLD, "NOW THAT'S HOW YOU MAKE IT IN LIFE"

dude was a bitch for that

Wow he played on the same South Carolina football team in college with

Kinley McKinney whom also committed suicide while a member of the

Denver Broncos a few years back. Sad indeed.

My feelings on suicide is that its always wrong and selfish but at minimum I can acknowledge that his life was special to someone in this world, why he didn't share his troubles with somebody who could help is now a moot point. GOD bless his family and friends left behind.
