Tragedy
<div class="IPBDescription">I'm saddened</div> Some of you may be familiar with the name Michal Buonauro. He was a writer for several items, including the webcomic <a href='http://www.wrenchfarm.com' target='_blank'>Wrench Farm</a>. I was shocked to learn that he took his own life last Friday. If you are familiar with his works, please take a moment to grieve.
Apparently, Brian Clevinger from <a href='http://www.nuklearpower.com' target='_blank'>8-bit Theatre</a> is thinking about getting Buonauro's fictional work <a href='http://www.unknownhero.com/' target='_blank'>Marvelous Bob</a> published, and I'm sure Jeff Lofvers, co-writer of Wrench Farm, would agree this as being a proper way to remember Buonauro. If it is within anybody's power to give aid in this undertaking, please do so!

Don't know why he did it.

Thanks for the link, it gives good insight into his character. He seemed to me to be disillusioned with life, a feeling I know all too well. Still, its an aufull waste of talent, but IMO it was his decision and his right; not that anyone will be conforted by that. Does anyone know how he chose to end his life? I've always had a morbid curiosity about such things...
...Also, aparently, I am Grammar God.

What could be considered his "suicide note", in a sense, was:

Also, not to seem insensitive or anything, but I wonder if he waited until 5:52 AM to kill himself. The minute he was born on that exact day.

only 20$ a day.
ouch, thats harsh, doesn't she get government benefits and stuff?
My grandma's blind, but she's retired, so it's kind of different
(it does look a bit funny when she walks into walls, but it's also quite sad)
so, last year, i opened it up and read the letter. i really let 12 year old me down. of all the dreams he had, i hadn't done any of them.
but i don't have dreams anymore. i only have nightmares.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
ouch.
although ive never heared of this guy before i feel sorryfor his family, and for him
I guess I'm an exception to the rule, or terminally happy or something, but I just can't "get" it when people feel depressed. When my girlfriend tells me about her having a **** day over the phone, I try to make her feel better, but I never really get it. Stuff just bounces off me I guess.
What a damn shame, seriously. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
i mean come on bare through the toughness of life seriously commiting suicide is the lowest possible thing one can do to themself. I have literally no respect for a person if they commit suicide. That is what life is if it gets to hard try a better route not friggen stick a gun in your mouth.
Survival of the fittest anyone???
edit: yea i feel sorry for his family and all but not for him his respectometer = 0
Now that's deep.

Great arguement you have there.
Your "respect-o-meter" also equals 0.
Then they themselves are idiots. Clinical depression is nothing to be scoffed at.
<a href='http://www.nmha.org/ccd/index.cfm' target='_blank'>Clinical Depression</a>
EDIT: Although I wasn't including clinically depressed into my definition of suicidal people. Mostly I look down on people(although not as strongly as I wrote in my first post) who have a crappy life, and instead of fixing it or starting again someplace else, they commit suicide.
It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem, I don't see how you could <i>ever</i> get in so depressing a situation that you cannot fix it or get away from it.
Was Michal clinically depressed when he suicided?
EDIT2: On another rethought, I realized it is just how some people solve situations(for example; some look at hard-to-do things in a game like a challenge, others look at the same thing as a nuisance that reduces fun), so I'm even less of that opinion than at first.
But secretly I still think suicidal people are worse somehow. It's like a religion I suppose.
especially when they know that they are said all the time
omg take zoloft efexor
it doesnt do anything bad just gives you a high basically

Go educate yourself on the condition and then you'll see why your statements are so idiotic.
Saying "OMG U NUB TAEK TEH ZOLOFT HAPY PIL ADN YUO FEL BETTAR" to someone who is clinically depressed isn't going to get you anywhere. They lack the will to do anything about it not because they're full of themselves, but because they feel as though nobody CAN help. Chemical imbalances in the brain can do that to a person.
Align: He'd just had a breakup with his girlfriend, and his writings in his livejournal do indicate that of someone who is suffering from it. He may have simply been undiagnosed.

Obviously, you have absolutely no freaking idea what some people have to go through in their minds. Wake the hell up, person who has no idea what real pain is. And if you do then don't say such imature things. It may appear that suicide is a licentious action in regard to the person himself and everyone around, but it was his choice, and we have to respect that decsision.
EDIT:
Yes, I do agree that some people kill themselves over stupid situations. But it seems that this man in regard, had some inner issues that are unkown to us beset.
Being depressed ironically takes a brain, and most simple and stupid people are happy for no reason most of thier lives. So before spouting off about what you think of suicide first evaluate your own life, if you see that its nothing but a collage of superficial garbage and that you are about as deep as a puddle then please take 5 seconds to wonder if you will sound like an idiot after posting.
PS drugs such as zolaft and paxil have been found to increase the risk of suicide in early and late adolescents, not prevent it. Most anti-depressant have a high failure rate and an even higher addiction rate.
2) did you guys have a sister who wasnt even suppose to live and have many operations and lots and lots of medical problems??? I DO
3) do you guys have a lot of medical problems too that pretty much make you a social out cast? I DO
please dont tell me i dont know what real pain is if you havent lived 1 day of my life.

It never gave me a high.
