Just a though, but could Kurt Cobain's suicide be a one of the things that led to the 1990s rash of school shootings? It is a very high-profile example of someone who had wealth, fame, a family and more and still decided that life wasn't worth living.

Now, if a rock star decides that his life isn't worth living, why should the picked-on geek have anything to live for?

Deep Thoughts (tm) should never come as a result of VH1's "100 Most Shocking Moments of Rock"

Tired. Woke up at 8am and spent an hour sweating my ass off in the gym. Later, I made a huge-ass batch of my family recipe pasta sauce for this weekend today. A double batch. Tomorrow I get to make a triple batch.

I love cooking. It's one of the few things that can get my blood running and make me enjoy things. See, I like pressure. Give me twenty things to juggle, a fast deadline and no margin for error and I'm having fun. My favorite job ever was Webmaster at CNN when breaking news happened. In 30 seconds a room of 30 people could go from being dull to utter chaos, and I was one of the focal points. Under pressure, I felt truly alive.

This is part of the reason I'm such a horrible procrastinator. I can do work ahead of time, but I enjoy it more when I skate right up to the deadline. Now I need to find a job that will let me have the pressure and enjoy my job again...
