No sympathy for weak people who take the easy way out and commit suicide just goes to show the persons true selfish side there are beautiful people who wanna live and cherish the time they have in this world and then selfish people like that who just give up with no care for what they put their family and friends through that has just made me so FUCKIN mad :( :( :(

So sorry Michelle for the tough times you and your family are enduring. My best Aussie love-vibes to Viv.
And suicide is just the ultimate cruelty for those left behind .

Corrrr Satchurated was epic!! What a fabulous concert, truly one of Joe Satriani 's stellar performances. The look of the movie is glossy, and the 3D effects made it seem like the concert crowd was in the cinema with us. The hands holding up cameras and phones seemed to be right in front of us, it was radials.
There was a good crowd, about 60 of us in the cinema in Melbourne, all rocking along as if we were in Montreal.
Knowing the story of how Joe was feeling on the night, about the anniversary of his mother's death, I was stunned at the performance he produced. This show rocked. And since the Wormhole tour (and Chickenfoot) never came to Australia I actually feel like I've been to a show and the big difference is, unlike the fan videos on youtube (great as they are) I got to see the whole band perform at length.
Allen Whitman is NUTS! His energy is fantastic and really added to the show. Good to see Galen, Jeff and Mike in shot most of the time too.
Joe and Mike did a lovely duet thing, and I had tears in my eyes when Joe played Littleworth Lane, it was very heartfelt.
For Big Bad Moon the camera angle was from the side, and I was surprised the see that Joe closes his eyes when singing - you can never tell with the sunnies on from the front.
Not a lot of talk from Joe, nor smiles, but you can see he poured everything into that show, and the effect of the movie experience is wonderful.
I can't wait to get my DVD now. I think even Mr Skippy enjoyed it (what a sport, he comes along with me, gotta love him).
Thanks Joe, this one is a ripper. Unfortunately the cinema had no posters, was hoping to get one but they didn't have anything up.

Thanks peeps. Rough night. Thanks for your love and support.
Jamie, let me tell you something about suicide. It's a bad decision that's made in a split second and instantly regretted. Most people that commit suicide are suffering from some sort of severe depression. People with depression are not weak. In fact, they have to be stronger than your regular "Joe" to continue to fight that battle every day of their lives. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain, not a chosen act of weakness. To me, it takes balls the size of Texas to actually commit the act of killing yourself. Sometimes it's an unintentional mixture of one to many pills with to much alcohol. Sometimes it's more violent. I have no idea how this boy died, but the bottom line is he's gone. The one thing these people are crying out for is love, forgiveness, and a sense of normalcy. If they can't get that in life, as decent human beings, the least we can do is give that to them in their death. Love. Forgive. Then love some more. Support those left behind. Pray.
Thanks.

Jamie - if I had known you were going an hour earlier I would have arrived earlier instead of half an hour early. I tried chatting to the people going in and out but they didn't want to talk. If I knew what you looked like it would have been easier I guess. We sat dead centre row J.
Thanks for the 2012 tour Joe!!

Michelle - I totally understand what your saying but as we Aussies say fair dinkum everyone has problems i don't need to hear what depression is all about been there myself and honestly 99 out of 100 people have these days we hit a point in life where ya have a sense of worthlessness but like i said and will say again it doesn't take balls the size of Texas to do yourself in it takes balls the size of the US to stick around and deal with what this world throws at ya and to just up and do such a selfish act with no regard for who you leave behind there is no other word for it but selfish and as for love and love some more your damn right i feel sorry for his friends and family left behind and the rest of the people in this world who love to live and cherish everyday whether good or bad.

I wouldn't go so far as to call suicide selfish. It's not like these people are in their right mind at the time. Trust me, I've been there more than once; just haven't pulled the trigger. I struggle with really bad depression and PTSD from the war every single day, and like I said, many times I have been to the point that I thought the best thing for me was to kill myself. Not because one particular thing set me off. Not because my life sucks or any such thing like that; but because I live with demons in my head, nightmares in my sleep, obsessive habits that I can't shake, yada, yada, yada. The one thing that's kept me hanging on is the thought of not wanting to put my wife through another suicide (her dad died that way). Do I have life insurance? No. Do I consider the $20,000 in debt that I've accumulated this year or any other burden it would place upon her? No. I don't think that makes me "selfish". But, like I said, I'm in a different world at that point. All I can think about is why I should die and then I weigh my options. Fortunately, so far I've managed to talk myself out of it every time.
I don't think anybody truly WANTS to kill themselves, there just happens to be a chemical imbalance in their brain or other contributing factors that lead them to believe that suicide is the only out and that's when you forget about leaving your family behind and all the bad stuff that they are stuck with.
I'm not trying to say that suicide is right by any means, i'm just saying that it definitely isn't selfish when you look into it a little deeper and try to understand it from that persons perspective.
Sorry for the rant.....
Ian

TurboIan, it's not right by any means. I agree. It's a bad decision made in a split second. You have to have a mantra or something for those times. Something that keeps you HERE. I know it gets rough, but I hope your memories fade, you get the help you need, and you and your wife grow old together. I'm so sorry you thousands of others had to - and still have to- go through that.
Jamie, I understand your anger. Fair enough.
Hellfredo, that was nice, thanks.
T-Bones, hugs.
Ally, congrats for your fancy achievement and certification. You're cramtastic in a pinch!
McD, thanks.
castle, he's kind of in denial. It seemed that he understood the clear message the doctor gave us yesterday, but then later in the day when I saw him again and we talked, he didn't want to discuss the issues that we're coming up on. He also keeps putting things off for "later". He's over tired, not eating right, under stress, and scared. My niece took dinner to him at the hospital tonight. We all have to keep an eye on him. Thanks for asking.

My dad has dementia, and when my mother died on their vacation to Antartica/South America, though he was there he still does not understand where she is. He cannot process the information, or does not want to.
