No, I'm not suicidal. It's that I just bought Tom McRae's latest album Just Like Blood, titled after Simon Armitage's poem. Frankly I've never thought of suicide; in fact, you can say I'm fiercely pro-life. I know more worthy people have died. Younger people too. I know sometimes the going gets tough and unbearable. And I'm probably not going to do great things and make a heck of a difference either. But at least I can honour this life by trying to know as much as I can. And being happy.
