A moment of weakness and a theory of convergence

a lot of doods express their frustration with women in this forum, well I'd like to vent for a minute about life and how it throws shit at you all at once. I'm sure most of you have noticed that.
2 weeks ago a friend of mine that i've known for 10 years jumped off of a building and ultimately killed himself. Then, last week my stepfather lost his job, had a panic attack and was in the hospital for a few days.He's on crazy pills now and doesnt leave bed and seems to be suicidal...this dood is a rugby player, he's a huge kid and tough, it's sooo strange. My mother, was told last thursday she will be taking a huge salary drop. Then my cousin had a random seizure and I took her to the hospital and they removed her thyroid on friday. then yesterday (sunday) an old friend, someone I grew up with in the old neighbourhood, was murdered in Toronto.
A lot of people around me are also having some issues, some much much bigger than my own..for example my friend's Dad dropped dead in her house a little over a week ago.
all of this is going on and I have a 15 page paper due tomorrow by midnight, i've written 5 pages, and once that's done i have a final to study for the day after.And my friend is losing her mind and I have no idea how to help her whatsoever, she too has finals to worry about.
anyone else notice how funny life is in that sense? I mean i'm not sitting at home sulking about it. I'm gonna get my work done and I'll probably get a good grade. But it's still rough I tell ya. The way I see it..people have two choices: let everything take u down and fail at life...or keep your head up and work through it until the times are good again.

last yaer.... started college, good friend's dad died 2 months into that, girlfriend of over a year dumped me then tried to kill herself over me (don't ask, I don't get it either). Then a school official I knew died randomly, then my principle from HS died from cancer (these were 2 weeks apart), then in the next 2 weeks a good friend died in a motorcycle accident, and another friend died suddenly from acute lukemia (got sick and died within 48 hours). All this in the year I'm adjusting to college life, it sucked, was super hard to deal with all that shit, but I got through it and feel like such a stronger person. I'm sure you will feel the same. Everything happens for a reason.

You know Plato said that to help women with diseases of teh mind, rigorous sex is needed to make sure the womb gets back in its place.
But seriously, if all that shit happenned that sucks balls. If you really wanna let shit fly, but i doubt you're the kinda person to do this, is on your essay write in the last paragraph everything that has happenned. It will put whoever marks you in a very difficult position.

fuck. feel sorry for you and everyone around you. just think some people watch their friends/family who they feel no less love for, drop dead every single fucken day, from preventable diseases and starvation. we are the lucky ones. it still fucken sucks, i remember when my friends dad died and a guy i knew died in front of me last year, puts you in a fucked up blank mode for weeks, good luck. i truly feel that shit.

I admire the attitude you are choosing to take for your current situation. That takes strength for sure. Hope everything straightens out.
