Jim Florentine writes about the 6th anniversary of his girlfriend's suicide

[Bye You!]

If I remember the story correctly, he abandoned his wife and kids in Europe and started a new family in America. Probably where Wiggy got the scumbag gene.

really? well, if that's the case, that changes everything.

he abandoned them? that's messed up.

If I remember the story correctly, he abandoned his wife and kids in Europe and started a new family in America. Probably where Wiggy got the scumbag gene.

It was his mother's grandfather - Howard was named after him which he couldn't understand:

"Howard said that his mom's grandfather had a family in Europe and he came to America and left the family behind and had another family here. Howard said that the rest of the family was killed in the Holocaust. Howard said that his mother's mother survived and then they named him after this guy. Howard said that the guy sounds like the shittiest fucking guy.

Howard said his grandmother hated this guy too. Howard said that this is the guy he's named after. He said there's some crazy shit in these families. Howard said he's not sure why they'd name him after a guy like that. Robin said that does sound bizarre."

On the off-chance that you're not just goofing around, FIND yourself something to live for. You don't know your purpose, so you can't say that the world is going by just fine without you. Jump in somewhere and make a difference. Do something for someone else and take your mind off your own sorrow. It might surprise you.

Very well said

has someone you know, or a family member committed suicide?

Just a grandfather when he was getting up in years and his health was declining. But knowing my grandmother, it wasn't a bad call.

There are a lot of unfortunate human beings out there who do look forward to a better life. I suggest dedicating one's life to helping some of them have a better life if one feels he cannot himself do so. Talk about having a life with meaning. Save someone elses'. I've found that most times someone is unhappy with life they also have a mindset where they fixate on "me, me, me". Sometimes it helps to put one's focus on someone else.

There are dogs living in misery because some fucked up person abuses and neglects them. If lucky they get to the pound where they live in fear till they're put down. Rescue an old dog nobody else wants.

Try "Burnin' on a higher flame" than everyone else. You might find it transcends the banality of "happiness" in the modern world.

So thats a no on the real experience? The above sentiment is little more than poetry...

i HATE TO CALL BULLSHIT ON JIM S STORY BUT RIGHT AFTER JADE COMMITED SUICIDE JIM CAME INTO THE STUDIO....HE SAID HE WAS NOT LIVING WITH JADE AT THE TIME THAT THEY HAD BROKEN UP...SO THIS WHOLE STORY OF HIM FINDING HER DEAD BODY IS NOT TRUE....HE WAS REALLY UPSET BY IT BUT SAID HE HAD TO LEAVE HER BECAUSE SHE WOULD BE OUT AT CLUBS ALL NIGHT AND HE NEVER KNEW WERE SHE WAS...SO THIS ROMANTACISED VERSION IS JUST TO SELL BOOKS...OYVE

I will give you the benefit fo the doubt that he said he wasn't living with her at the time, but you do know people in serious relationships, have keys to each other house?

Yes he left them in Europe and started anew. This is the one he is named after.
