Damn. You made some all time classic rib smashers brothaman. I rly wish you’d reconsider but if you really do end up doing it you should make it spectacular and give us a national shoutout before the grand finale. Fly a flag that says “Pat is fat and Joe Cumia is a bum” or something and then jump off the Serius XM corporate towers onto the streets of Manhattan. “This ones for you Ichiseeee…….”

I was already wearing this shirt when I read your post today.

Don't do it, motherfucker.

If I've ever brighten your day, or educated you on some random point, or entertained you, or made you feel less alone or angry or fat.

You owe it to me now to wait until I off myself first.

I got a great idea from reading your post.

If the brotherman does go through with it, then he needs to write a note beforehand stating that Pat drove him to do this with constant "suicide threats".

Just a funny thought.

Your live is better than nothing. You'd be a bit of a silly faggot if you killed yourself over the reason you mentioned.

I understand that the financial dependence hurts your pride. You don't compare to the real parasites, though.

And if you are such a fuck-up what does it matter if you fuck up your commitment to that literal deadline?

I don't know what you have to live for. But it would be really gay of you to die when you don't have to. It would be really pointless if you killed yourself, no matter how hopeless you might feel.

Last seen 2 mins after posting this :/

I hope he didn't do it.

And yeah, it was kind of a Reddit-esque thing to do, but you know what? If it's a genuine cry for help, I'd rather help. It's not one of those whiny loads asking for a handout - he's one of us.

There's an old Scottish phrase: "Lang may yer lum reek", which means long may your chimney smoke, i.e. may you live a long time. We're not all meant to stay long, but let outside forces take us, not ourselves, I say.

Pour one out to a brothaman.

Depression's a motherfucker, but if you're gonna sadden everyone with a suicide note, Jesus give the brothermen a chance to talk you out of it.

I was listening to a podcast, forgot which one but they were talking about that Golden Gate Bridge documentary where they set up cameras for a year and recorded all the suicides. One dude survived because he was wearing steel tipped boots, so he broke his legs but was able to make it out, and they interviewed him for the documentary.

He said the scariest moment of his life was the second after his feet left the ledge. He realized every problem in his life could be solved except for his decision to jump off that bridge.

You know, I've never shared this story before, but the weirdness of this whole thread, and discussing it just now with Gosia, it's gotten me *sigh* brooooding, man. And this came to mind...

Last show of the Calling All Stations Tour, May 1998, in Nuremberg Germany at a Rock Festival no less. It's admittedly a whimper of an ending after the second Leg of the tour, playing Arena's - but mind you, fresh off the wound of the US tour selling poorly, and the smaller venue attempt not doing any better. Mike and Tony weren't quite the same after that happened.

Anyway, we finish up the show, give a really good performance, crowd was into it and everything - but the air with everyone was very melancholy. Nir, our drummer, was uncertain what was going to happen next after this run; and Anthony Drennan, our tour guitarist, was in a similar mindset. I now realize that they saw the writing on the wall before me, but my young naive ass wanted to stay positive about my future with the band. Such a silly boy...

Mike, Tony and myself are packing to head back to our respective homes. Despite the jokes I make about him, Mike was really nothing but a gent my entire time in the band, and he gave a firm handshake - with eye contact, unlike a certain Tomlinson - thanking me. As I load up my rental, Tony stops to thank me before he heads out next. It didn't click at the time, but he shared words that, at my lowest, helped a lot, and they felt genuine... He said "You were in a no-win situation from day one, with the press and the fans. No matter what people say, you exceeded expectations. Thank you for being a true professional despite all the unfair pressure put upon you."

Mind you, this was still the man who called me (at least he gave me that) to tell me the band was over. He's still part of a trio that have whitewashed that short "experiment" from their own history books. And I have never spoken to him since those last two times. But during my low points, those words did mean something... It was an impossible task to replace Phil. He brought them to their height, and as a band that only experienced American success with him, he wasn't going to be easily surpassed.

Whether I could have ever met that expectation or not is irrelevant - what mattered was I did my damnedest, even at risk of what happened after. But that experience hardened me, reminded me that I fought through hard times once, and I can do it again. Now, I'm working, writing, recording and playing for a living, with the love of my life at my side. I'm happy.

Things can change. I hope our budday can get that chance, too.

Dont do it, your self imposed deadline doesn't matter.

There's too many things that make life worth living. You are just stuck in a warped perspective.

Even if you really want this, you can't put your mum through that and your dog's will be heartbroken.

For real about the dog.

Schinkle bout it - it's going to be found at your gravesite by a Momma Raven, and then passed on to a Tomlinson.

Do you want that? Huh? Yessssss?

That's... That's terrible, I'm sorry.
