  It was late at night and i was cruising around town when a car came right up behind me and started tail gating me (I was doing around 60-65 at the time). I thought the guy was being a jerk and wanted to race to i down shifted and took off. The blues came on and i went into full on flight mode. I got up to about 100 and was losing the cop behind me. When i came over a hill there was one driving at me so i stopped. I looked out my window and saw three cops with guns pointed at me yelling to get out of the car and get on the ground. I was dragged across the street, frisked and cuffed. Spent an hour in the back of the car and then three more in a cell waiting for the bail bondsman. It was late enough that i didn't have to wait too long in jail.

  Criminal speeding, reckless endangerment, negligence and failure to stop.
  
  All charges were dropped and i paid court fees, probation fees for a year and to get my car out of the impound. I didn't even lose my license.

  We played for about 45 minutes in my neighbors driveway. I remember my neighbor asking Ehlo where in the driveway the 3pt line in the NBA would be. Ehlo grabbed the ball, put up a shot and hit nothing but net. He looked back at my neighbor and said "right about there"

  Why do you people consider suicide an option, just seems like such a pussy cop out. Care to elaborate for those who have tried it? What was your thought process? What could have made it so bad that you wanted to kill yourself? and if you failed, did you feel like a pussy afterwards?

  My name Clarence I went to private school and my parents have a real good marriage.

  If you got probation for a year you'd have to get charged with something right?
  
  And if not, why were the charges dropped?

  Both times, it was a combination of Camus philosophy and hedonism. I disliked the pain I was going through, and I didn't believe that there was any inherent value in life. Being the case, I couldn't really think of any reason why ANYone should try to preserve their own life, since I didn't think there was anything valuable about human life or existence at all. I could justify living so long as the worst I experienced was inconvenience, but when I experienced pain, suicide seemed like the only logical option.
  
  To some degree, given my worldview at the time, I would still think so if I still adopted that worldview. If there is no purpose or inherent value to human life, why should we try to keep living, except if we are "pussies" and are too scared to die?
  
  To answer your question about after I failed, I didn't feel like a pussy as much as I felt like a failure. If I had been a pussy, I would have chickened out of trying. In that I went through with it, but it didn't work, it was merely a failure.

  I eat, sleep, and breath anything in the medical field. I got a job as tech in a hospital right out of high school which I still have to this day five years later, and am looking to advance by the end of the Summer. A year from now I'll have an associate's degree in respiratory therapy, at which point I'll consider my options of further advancement. I could stay at the hospital I'm at now, get some experience, and work on my bachelor's degree and then move onto a more prestigious hospital on the east coast. The college also has a very good physician assistant program (this is probably the most likely route I'll go) OR if I'm really feeling adventurous, I could give medical school a shot. Unfortunately, I'm going on 24 years old and have a bit of debt to my name already. If I was young and had no owed money, I'd be much more likely to consider that.
  But between work and clinicals, I practically live in a hospital. I worked a shift on Sunday, then Tuesday and Thursday I have clinicals at Cincinnati Children's hospital, then I'm back at work on Friday/Saturday.
  
  Not sure if Wes Mantooth was kidding or not (since a couple people called bullshit) but if so I'm very similar on him. I passed up on the college, partying scene a while ago. Most weekend nights/mornings I'm at work, or I'll pass up on hanging out to do some reading or studying. I guess it's a lame lifestyle, but medicine is one of the few things I've ever been very, very good at. And hell if I do go on to med school, then I'll have the "no social lifestyle" down

  One of my HS classmates just posted on FB this past week that she's a grandmother now - she's 36, I can't imagine having a grandchild at 30. Crazy.

  It was actually a serious question because it's an interesting aspect to me. Why/how humans feel they need to kill themselves over a situation/view in their life. It wasn't an attempt at trolling but more or less an attempt at understanding one's view when they do decide to do that. I respect o-trap for answering it in an honest way. As for your answer, well it speaks for itself.

  I guess I understand that you had nothing to live for so what's the point, but at the time weren't you an agnostic/athiest? Wouldn't killing yourself ultimately lead to nothingness? Isn't that worse than living?
  
  Just to clarify, I appreciate your response trap. Not trying to troll, but more or less understand. Apparently sand takes everything I say on the ever so important chatter seriously

  That was, of course, after he roundhouse kicked Vin Diesel and saved you from having to watch one of his movies.

  Under an atheistic view, it's not. Since there would be nothing "higher" to attribute inherent value to anything, nothingness was no more or less valuable than "somethingness." Albert Camus did a lot of thinking on this topic, and I was a HUGE fan of his at the time (still am, as he was a VERY respectable thinker, and the father of nihilism). Thus, at the time, both living and not living had equal value (or equal absence of value). As such, the presence of pain in living seemed less pleasurable than the lack of pain in the absence of living, since in my mind, living and not living were equitable in and of themselves.

  No worries. I didn't take offense at all. I typically try to assume the most innocent of intentions most of the time. Sometimes, it means I get taken advantage of, but I'd rather err on the side of unjustly benevolent mercy than err on the side of unjustly critical judgment.
