Hell of a way to be remembered. The guy who wrote a 1905 page suicide note after shooting himself at havard.

me? id probably leave behind 1905 pages of:

All work and no play makes jack a dull boy
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy
All work and no play makes jack a dull boy

almost 2,000 page suicide note?

Well at least we know it was not a spur of the moment act.

I am just happy that once he decided to kill himself that he only killed himself and did not take others with him.

It doesn't really matter now does it...

Did he really shoot himself, or just die the death of 1,905 paper cuts?

I have to admit, I'd be a lot more impressed if this were actually the case. Even if the first 1904 pages consisted of nothing but the words "OUCH DAMMIT" written over and over again.

Damn what a waste, he seem very smart still in his prime, good looking man, I mean what the hell. What a waste of a life.

Very sad.

Mitchell Heisman 'Life is meaningless'

Ecclesiastes - Life is meaningless:

Ecclesiastes 1:14
I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Ecclesiastes 1:17
Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.

Ecclesiastes 4:2
And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive.

Ecclesiastes 4:3
But better than both is he who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.

No wonder he killed himself. He reaslised that he'd spent all his time thinking about philosophy instead of living life! Stupid twunt.
