Apparently Robin Williams died. It's all over the news.

I caught that online and have been following it on CBC news for the last hour. With great sadness we say adieux to Mork from Ork, Mrs. Doubtfire and so many other memorable characters. He had many great roles but I remember him best as a street performer and one of the few people who have always been must see interviews. My best memory is of an interview on Peter Gzowski's 90 Minutes Live when I was sure I was going to see the worst mismatch since someone thought it was a good idea to have Jimi Hendrix open for the Monkees but René Simard was quite capable of holding his own with Williams who was gracious as ever with the boy. It still ranks as one of my all time favourite interviews. God bless Robin Williams.

I confess, when I first got wind of it, my jaw dropped. I'm really quite sad. I think I'll watch Mrs. Doubtfire this evening.

I am certain I have Mrs. Doubtfire, unfortunately I do not know where I put it. I wish I had a copy of The Birdcage to watch.

This is the biggest shock since the crocodile hunter died. I remember the site I was on back then, everybody came on to talk. It's like we were all in shock & needed to be together.

We watched Mrs. Doubtfire last night. I confess to tearing up at the ending. It sucks that he had to go.

Tonight they're saying he hung himself. This is so sad.

When I lived in the duplex before moving to my current apartment, about 8 years ago I went home from my studio one night to find our yard and that of the construction company next door that owned the house filled with vehicles including emergency vehicles. I wondered if it was a drug bust (don't ask) but then thought someone must have broken into the construction company. I was stopped by one of my neighbors from upstairs to tell me that the mother had committed suicide. She had hung herself in one of the closets. I sat with the family that night until the police, coroner and all the visitors left and the family was ready for bed. In the days that followed I stayed close with the family; one of the daughters told me she had asked a police constable if her mother had suffered. She said he looked at her carefully and then said he would tell her the truth. He said that it is a terrible death and she would have suffered until the end. It was not a quick death either. It is sad to hear of another life lost in this way. If you are depressed, talk to someone and if you must kill yourself, find a better way. It will not help the people you love to know that even when you tried to find release you suffered more.

I know Robin had a history of depression, but it's still incredibly sad to me to think that someone who brought so much joy to other people could be in so much pain himself.

Yes, I knew his childhood was not easy and he had problems with depression but it looked like he had overcome it. I wonder if something triggered its return recently? I did find my copy of Mrs. Doubtfire, I think I will redouble my effort to get a copy of The Birdcage.

Someone very close to me had bi-polar depression. She went to Washington D.C. with the university. While there she was gang raped. Two years later she lost her cat, lost her job at the university, and her ice skating coach said he didn't want to teach her anymore. All of this in the same week. She had high hopes in the morning, but by noon she was devastated. She drove back to the U. and got some cyanide. She ended her life just after midnight of 9/11/2010. She had a 4.0 average at the U. but couldn't take the loss of so much. She sought several doctors and tried all kinds of medication for depression, but they only work for a short time. We know what heartache is left behind when someone ends it all. I know some of you here suffer from depression, and you think no one understands how awful you feel. It's a darkness like you can't see through.
Keep talking to your friends and find something that works for you.

I was just watching An Adventure In Space And Time again and if you haven't seen it yet, I strongly recommend it. Tip for Alora: if you haven't seen it and can find it online, watch it with a box of tissues on hand. You will want it for the ending.

Please wish me luck everybody, we're driving down to my mother's house (she isn't there, thankfully, she's in Vegas) to get my birth certificate and social security stuff and then we have to go and get me a new ID and if that works out I will hopefully be enrolling in free GED classes at the college. The big iffy thing here is that they start on the 18th so I have to haul ass to get stuff done in time. We'll see how this goes.

I shall keep that in mind Bruce, no I have never seen it.
