He's History--No--He's MYTHOLOGY

Robin Williams was great. Sometimes he was annoying, sometimes he was sappy, sometimes he was coarse, but mostly he was fucking hilarious and awesome. Also, he was the Genie.

We don't think of depression as a terminal illness, but way too often it acts like one. I'm sorry, Robin Williams, that even with the science we have we can't cure it or even manage it all the time. I hope the science continues to improve, so that we don't lose more awesome people to it.

If you want to make a list of people who defined my generation, Robin Williams would pretty much come right after Mr. Rogers :(

Mork & Mindy, Good Morning Vietnam, Aladdin, Good Will Hunting, Dead Poet's Society, etc. and so on and so forth and I could list them all day.

Wah.

His passing is a great loss.

Sometimes it's the *treatment* for the depression that makes it terminal. I am quite sure that what happened to/with me was the "suicidal thoughts" *side effect* of the variety of Fukitol that I was taking at the time.
