                                           Suicidal Jimmy

Suicidal Jimmy wasn't feeling all that suicidal last week, at least not as suicidal as he felt the previous week.  But apparantly something changed.  Nothing could really compare to the suicidal feelings he experienced last year when Shawna told him he was a loser and had no direction in life.  But even that wasn't as bad as the suicidal thoughts he had in 1996 when his band Musktone broke up and he couldn't pay his back rent.  His suicide attempt left him sore and depressed and the Portland RTA refused to allow him any more montly passes for fear of another derailment.  So Jimmy's taking it to the city of lights. But he's really not feeling as suicidal as he had anticipated, I mean the food's so good and there's all this culture and stuff.  But what the hell, that plane ticket cost a fortune and he left that note at home and everything...
