Today Is Just a Sad Day

So I’m bummed about David Foster Wallace today. I’m bummed because here was a brilliant guy who knew what the solution was and just couldn’t live it consistently. And so where does that leave the rest of us? It scares me.

I’m bummed about Lehman Brothers today, and I’m bummed for my friends who work there.

I’m bummed, just in a general sense, that Sarah Palin is on a Presidential ticket instead of Tina Fey (or, ya know, Hillary Clinton).

And then I come across Holly Madison’s new MySpace blog, and it’s called “RIP David :(” and I’m like “OMG Holly Madison is sad that David Foster Wallace died? I guess I’d underestimated her.”

But no.

This is the post:

RIP David :(

I am so devestated right now. I had this amazing Flemish Giant rabbit that my friend gave me. She was a rare smoke blue color and was the sweetest animal you could ever meet. I named her David LaChapelle after my favorite photographer. After the great zoo staff here at the Mansion and I raised her, we had her fixed and set her free on the property to play with the other rabbits. She loved to hang out on the front lawn and becuase of her close interaction with me and the staff, she was not afraid of people.

Long story short, some stupid fucking drunk asshole picked her up during one of the parties and dropped her, breaking her back and paralyzing her without telling anyone. I can only imagine how much pain she was in before someone finally found her and had her put to sleep. I am so devestated by this. I hate stupid fucking drunk people and I will never be able to walk outsode this house into one of the parties again without thinking about this whole incident. It makes me hate everybody.

Thanks for listening. Please excuse the typos. I am too emotional to care.

Love-Holly

And this just breaks my heart even more. It makes me think of how sad I was when Charlie died and how devastated I’d be if any of my animals today were hurt — and especially if someone did it to them and then allowed them to suffer — and I’m just really angry for Holly and sad and disappointed in general.

Say something to cheer me up, you guys.

  • a few things to cheer you up:

    there IS a bunny heaven,

    the economy sucks, but we’re all going to die soon anyway,

    the new season of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia comes out in 3 days, that show always makes me giggle

    also, you added me on facebook and i nearly shit my pants because I didn’t think you would be THAT cool, but alas,

    YOU ARE.

    THANKS BEET

    XOXO

  • when it comes to animals, you and I are a lot alike i think. I have 2 small dogs (a super cute, medium hair chihuahua and a medium hair chihuahua/Pomeranian/Papillon mix) and two adorable cats. I love animals, a lot more than i love people. I’m always doing foster care and picking up strays, then rehoming them to good people. Stories like this make me really angry and sad! People that hurt animals, are so disgusting and it makes me sick! What gives me comfort, is knowing that I provide a safe and comfortable place for MY animals to live, and for the animal “visitors” to stay while they get rehabilitated. It sounds like Holly’s bunny led a really good life with a lot of people doting on him :). that part makes me happy! This drunk bastard… he should be dropped on his back and paralyzed, then left to suffer for days. That would be fair, i think.

  • Hey, atleast a off duty police officer didn’t run a light and hit you and then pretend like I did it. Sweet huh?

    but no, my whole life right now is depressing, I know the feeling.. Sorry

  • There is a lot of suffering in this world and grief is completely necessary and normal. After losing loved ones, the only advice I had for a grieving friend after she said, “I’ll never be the same,” was “You’ll never be the same, but you’ll be okay.”

    And after all, every experience has the possibility to change us for better or worse And I’m sure that drunk person that killed the rabbit drinks themselves into a stupor from guilt.

    I always like to listen to some Cat Stevens or Elton John when I feel like that, I think music is the best therapy. Hope you feel better!

  • I’m not really affected by any of the sadness that is bothering you today… other than the post about Holly’s bunny. I have a hard time feeling sorry for people in general…
    I am not saddened by the state of the economy because frankly, greedy people did it. I am sorry to hear people are losing their jobs, but there will always be something else to do. Just keep on going, in other words.
    I do not know David Foster Wallace and I cannot bring myself to pity someone who takes their own life. Especially to leave your wife to find you hanging from the ceiling! It is weak, selfish. I cannot help but to think of all of the people who die young from one cause or another who really wanted nothing more than to do good and to live a great life and then we have sick assholes who just throw everything away just because they cannot “deal”.

    Ugh. I am not sad. I am angry. I hate so many people.

    I am a bitter person today. Especially because everything you mentioned here has to do with people being stupid.

    End of rant.
    *breathes*

  • I am happy as a school girl because I get to sit back and watch the USA fall just like the Soviet Union.

    Enjoy your debt folks, because you bitches are owned by China now.

  • whoops, sorry ur day is so bad. mine is suckin too. i am fixin to start… and all I want to do is cuss people out or cry. and eat. oh well… on the upside maybe i’ll get fat, my husband will leave me….and i’ll get some kick-ass alimony!!!!! there can always be a positive side to things.

  • Aww, Beet! Today is a sad day but everything will seem brighter tomorrow, it always does. (cue the Annie song “Tooooomorrow! Tomorrow! I love you, tomorrow!)
    I hate days where everythings seem dismal and sucky. The best medicine is to find something yummy (and semi-healthy!) to eat and then curl up on the couch with some happy girly movies and comedies. Laughter is the best medicine.

  • speaking of sad, where is TSS and his witty comments? did heget banned? i hope not, he always makes me smile.

  • *not related*

    How is it that some people are too mentally exhausted to fix typos, yet have the energy to type a few extra sentences that explain that they are too mentally exhuasted to fix typos.

    Isn’t that secret code for ‘I’m a moron and don’t know my own language well enough to know for sure if I made grammar or spelling errors’?

  • Hey my friend
    It seems your eyes are troubled
    Care to share your time with me
    Would you say you’re feeling low and so
    A good idea would be to get it off your mind

    See you and me
    Have a better time than most can dream
    Have it better than the best
    So we can pull on through
    Whatever tears at us
    Whatever holds us down
    And if nothing can be done
    We’ll make the best of what’s around

    Turns out not where but who you’re with
    That really matters
    And hurts not much when you’re around
    And if you hold on tight
    To what you think is your thing
    You may find you’re missing all the rest

    Well she ran up into the light surprised
    Her arms are open
    Her mind’s eye is

    Seeing things from a
    Better side than most can dream
    On a clearer road I feel
    Oh you could say she’s safe
    Whatever tears at her
    Whatever holds her down
    And if nothing can be done
    She’ll make the best of what’s around

    Turns out not where but what you think
    That really matters
    We’ll make the best of what’s around

  • btw, I incorrectly spelled ‘exhausted’ the second time in my last post and want to sincerely apologize for my lack of mental fortitude to correct it.

  • I’m sorry you are so sad. I always laugh outloud when I read Michael K’s Dlisted. His piece on Miley Cyrus boyfriend post makes me laugh.

  • Rabbits are so fragile…

    I have had three in this life: one I only had for a few weeks before he jumped off my shoulder and got a concussion. He died overnight.

    The second (the absolute love of my life!) had medical problems for his whole life, but when he was 3 years old, he had a seizure and fell off the couch. He broke his neck and lived for about two hours after that. He died in my arms. He just missed his fourth birthday.

    My mom also had a rabbit who slipped his grip while hopping up the stairs and fell only TWO stairs, but his back was broken and he died in my arms as well.

    I know that can’t help to cheer you up, but any chance I get, I warm people of the dangers of mishandling a rabbit. Quite honestly, they can jump from your arms and fall to their death, whether they fall four feet or two feet, or sometimes even a foot (a foot off the couch!).

    I guess I should add the disclaimer that all these rabbits died at my hands – and I KNOW how to handle a rabbit. I know how gentle and firm you must be when holding them, and yet…. they are so fragile that one small hop could be their end.

    People just don’t understand how easy it is to break rabbits. They aren’t hardy things, gentle touches are definitely needed.

    It’s been quite a sad week for you, a few of my friends and for me this week. I can only hope that with the camaraderie of friendship and well meaning thoughts that we’ll all be able to pull through this.

    I am sorry that you are sad, Beet, and I know damn well (from my experience) that nothing I say will help you to feel better about what’s going on in this world, in your heart and in the hearts of others, but I will be sending you the best vibes I can muster (at least I’ll try, when I am finished crying :))

  • the english call it spleen
    I suffer from that too,on occasion
    but I compensate by working on life saving,
    capacity restoring,kids pampering,
    and you know how you do that too
    every single day
    you make our days and nights
    much happier,funny and brighter

  • re: TSS:

    You’re an asshole. I’ve been able to ignore you for long enough, but I am getting tired of it, and that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

    Just stop…

    It’s not funny. It’s not cool. Let me show you a little funny:

    I BET you were the stinky kid in class, the one who got along with nobody, the one who put his pinkie in the pencil sharpener in third grade just to get the teacher’s attention, the one who would scream out in the middle of class just so people would look at you, the asshole who so desperately wanted to be on the football team that he wore a popped collar and bumper-car shoes to try and fit in, but it didn’t work because everybody remembered, “HEY! Isn’t that the kid who tried to sharpen his own pinkie?”

    So, now, under the guise of anonymity you bully the rest of us around because we can’t see your real life, the real you.

    The you who still has acne, the you who doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of finding a relationship that lasts more than a week, or even a night, who still lives in his momma’s basement.

    Just stop. It’s weak, we can see through your cockiness and know who is underneath. Insecure. Dissatisfied. Depressed.

    Get another hobby.

  • Will someone please summarize what that crazy bitch just typed? I tried reading it, but my left ass cheek fell asleep.

    So I abuse my dog from time to time…

    So I cut and paste a Dave Matthews song every now and then….

    So what???

    This is America damn it! (except for Donkey Punch…that fucker sounds like he lives in Crapistan) and I’ll type WHENEVER I FUCKING FEEL LIKE IT! …. oh shit, my moms home….gotta go take my meds.

  • I’m having one of those days too, Beet. What is wrong with today?

    It really makes me mad that people think suicide is selfish. I just watched the recent PBS documentary on depression, and I would say that suicide is anything but selfish, granted the frame of mind one is in when they commit it.

  • @ Delilah

    Yeah, venting. I got tired of TSS and his stupid ass. Beet is already having a bad day, and here he is, picking on her & others who posted on this blog… the unsporting conduct is what made me have that little outburst.

  • hey guys, lighten up on this writers suicide. my guess is he was just gonna wack off to some magazine while cutting off his airflow like that dweeb from inxs that did it a few years ago. not many people hang themselves intentionally, especially when found totally nude and surrounded by magazines with titles like ‘jiggling jugs’. on the other hand, i don’t know why the fuck holly’s rabbit committed suicide.

    ps; re; donkey punch; you always make me feel better about my day. thanks.

    re: tss; your poem made me cry. not actually because it was good, mind you, but nevertheless it made me cry.

  • beet.. keep your head up..
    We all have those days. WHere everything bad just seems to all happen.
    There are many many idiots in this world.. TSS included..
    But things get much better.
    I shall be back tomorrow.. following your searing commentary on the happenings of this world.
