Have you ever tried to commit suicide? Thought about it much?

I have, but I don't think I'd ever do it, because of my belief in the afterlife. I mean, if you knew you were dead and that was it, alright. But can you imagine killing yourself only to be faced with life eternal? That's depressing. (Or eternal damnation if you're not saved or you're more of a catholic variation of christianity.)

So how would you do it? I personally like the idea of going outside on an easily hosed down surface, tucking a sawed off twelve gauge under my chin, tilt it a little, and bingo. On the other hand, sleeping pills, or any means of suffocation just doesn't do it for me.

Feel free to be creative. I've always liked the story about Tchaikovsky purposefully swallowing water known to be contaminated with cholera, or those guys who met on the internet and agreed that one eat the other. Slow death by cigarette smoking? Suicide by sexual overexertion?

To those of you who get totally depressed by this, sorry. And don't get all worried, this isn't a cry for help, and I'm not going to do a thing.

Hmm! I guess if I got to choose how I die, it would have to be painless and quick. I'm a whimp. I couldn't do it to myself either. I love life too much.

Fly over the Uintah Mountains in Utah, jump out and (oops) forgot my parachute. ;~D

On this topic, I had a patient one time who was a suicide attempt (well, kinda). He jumped out of a third story window and did little more to end his life than add a few broken bones and some internal trauma. We talked while we were headed to the ER... as sometimes happened with such patients, by the time we got to the hospital he was laughing. As me and my partner prepared him for transfer to the ER nurse, he looked at me and said... "I probably should have used a gun, but I think there is too much death in this world, because of guns." ;~D

I don't know if I could shoot myself. Too scared (though metaphorically I've shot myself in the foot many times). What's that saying,"Live fast, die young, leave a good-looking corpse". So that definitely leaves out any firearms.

I don't think taking some kind of poison is for me either. I have no idea what happens after poison consumption but, I'm picturing having convulsions, popping blood vessels in my eyes and foaming at the mouth. When somebody finally discovers me the top half of my body will be covered with my saliva, and the bottom half in my own feces. I'll pass.

Sleeping pills? Nah. Like any other major event, I want to be awake for it. I don't want to be asleep during my own death. I can sleep after my death.

Assisted suicide? Dr. Kevorkian? Only if Kevorkian was really Salma Hayek, and only if she assisted me ... um .. well that's a whole other blog.

Auto-erotic asphyxiation? Maybe. Then I can come and go at the same time. What's the old joke. I wanna go like my grandfather. He died peacefully in his sleep. Not like the screamimg passengers in his speeding car.

Forget it. I could never commit suicide. I love me too much. But if you really want an answer I'd say hanging myself with 5 ropes. So at least one time someone can say about me,"He was well hung".

Good deal.
I probably should have used a gun, but I think there is too much death in this world, because of guns.


Remember, guns don't commit suicide, people do.

Live fast, die young, leave a good-looking corpse". So that definitely leaves out any firearms.


I've always thought better to be sure than be good lookin' after.

Only if Kevorkian was really Salma Hayek, and only if she assisted me ...


That's really sick.....in kind of a nice way.........

He was well hung
