This morning I read that Owen Wilson had been in an accident and was hospitalized. I clicked on the story thinking that he had been in a car accident. I was not prepared for the fact that it was supposedly a suicide attempt. I was really shocked. I mean, really shocked.
I guess it was weird because just last week I came across an article about this couple. She was a writer and had developed video games for girls in the 1990’s and he was an artist who had designed some album covers for Beck. In early July he had come home to find her dead. She had killed herself with Tylenol PM’s and Bourbon. A week later he drowned himself.
Suicide, in addition to being tragic and devastating, is really weird. I mean, all of these people were successful; how could their lives be so bad that they would want to end them. But how could anyone’s lives be so bad they would want to end them? How did killing oneself become an actual option?
Life is weird, I guess. But I am still living, and that’s apparently something.

poor suicide people. I don't get it either. But I don't get overwraught with emotion much.
It is unfortunate and sad. But I believe Scarlett O'Hara; tomorrow is another day.
I saw that yesterday too. Crazy shit...I know he's an actor, but I seriously always thought of him as happy-go-lucky; it would be like Cameron Diaz attempting suicide. Shocking!
