Police Blotter 6 The Suicide Note
Jeffrey Reed read a suicide note that was written on a website on the internet. The note was very well written. So well written that, now, he thought of taking his own life.
Elvis Gladstone was a defense lawyer who now sat at a desk after having read a suicide note that his client had posted on the internet. With him at the desk were the effects of suicide, a milkshake, a unit of heroin, a bottle of rum, and some pills.
The note read,
""How many stars do you give your life out of 10? You with your intellectual prowess, your skills of critique would not be so naive and polyanna as to give your life 10 stars out of 10. Now applying the same ratio, how many stars out of a million? YOu are a few hundred thousand stars short! How could a perfectionist like you live with such an existential deficit?
Why stay alive in a world that has torture, wars, murders, etc?
What is one more or one less person in a world of millions?
etc. etc. and this part of the note went on and on.
How to do it painlessly:
Get some papers of heroin, some pills and dissolve it in a milkshake.
No one could be expected to live through something like this, and you would not feel a thing!
Do yourself a favour, and do society a favour, and kill yourself!"
James Woodrow had circulated on the internet and through just mailing out chain letters resulting in about 250 suicides in six months had resulted in his own incarceration.
The attendant Detective on the case who was the arresting Officer was Detective Chris Hines.
The Police had grown weary as well as angry at finding these notes clutched in the hands of, or folded in the shirt pockets of suicides, next to a familiar set up of a blender and various drug paraphernalia like used open flaps of heroin, and an empty bottle of whisky. But most disconcertingly of all, a few Police Officers who made the mistake of reading the note, had likewise been found sometime later, dead of suicide. And a judge who read the note had topped himself, along with another, second judge who had been appointed to preside over the arraignment and trial. The Crown Prosecutor had read the note, frowned, and a week later was also found dead of suicide using what was now a familiar method.
The lawyer Elvis Gladstone was sitting at a desk with tears rolling down his face. He was told that he did not have to go to Court after all because his client, the one who wrote the iternet suicide note had killed himself while in prison, not surprisingly, using the same method that he had recommended. The tears were running down the lawyer's face because the note made him think of committing suicide, but as it turned out, he was dying of cancer and that night, a golden angel appeared. When he saw that angel, he knew that the angel had come for him, and he died right there, without committing suicide.
When the Police showed up in the lawyer's room the stench was unbearable. The lawyer had been dead for about 14 hours.
Detective Chris Hines was the senior Officer on the case, now present in the room.
One of the other Police Officer's made a move for the notes on the desk, which also included the suicide note. Detective Chris Hines grabbed the note out of that Police Officer's hand and then burned it with a lighter.
-------------
It is not OK to commit suicide. Ever. Do you understand?!
Life is a journey and you never know what is around the corner. It is the little things in life that one often remembers.
When a person is alive on this Earth he is a thought being with a physical body, when a person dies, he becomes a thought being without a physical body.
Telepathy is the language. It is the prelanguage.
George Anderson who is a psychic, said of a person who committed suicide, "Often when a person commits suicide, he looks fine in outward appearance, but inwardly there was a problem in their telepathy."
All Spiritual books warn strongly against suicide. When a person is born, there is a mission that they must accomplish.
Suicide is a form of murder. A person would not kill other selves. Why then, should they kill self?
Suicide is usually a sublimated wish to move to another town because when one commits suicide, they are moving to another town anyways, so to speak. If a person is suicidal, the best thing for them to do is to try life in another town. Whatever you do, stay alive.

Police Blotter 8 The Mental Games
Police Blotter 8 The Mental Games
The Special Olympics are for People with physical disabilities. Then there was an outcry amongst people with mental disabilities, and even those who were criminally insane lobbied to gain what they felt was their Constitutional Right to compete in sports.
A 'Special Mental Winter Games' was created to spotlight the incipient talents of those who were mentally disabled.
Some of the athletes came from British Columbia's Essondale Mental Institute for the Criminally Insane.
One athlete named David Rothbury, was there because he opened an ice cream shop.
Police Chris Hines: "Show me your menu. I hope I don't see anything that's going to piss me off!"
MENU
Cunt - chicken soup stock, Thai fish sauce, and strawberry flavour ice cream
Asshole - a hollow wafer cone with peanut butter flavoured ice cream
Cock - For The Ladies
Sperm
Felch - oral retrieval of semen from the anus, vanilla and peanut butter fudge
Now years later, the ice cream store owner is participating in the Mental Games.
Another athlete was a doctor who had mixed up the medical records of two patients, one patient who was supposed to have kidney operation and the other who was supposed to get an operation on his lower jaw. So that as a result the patient who was supposed to have a kidney operation marvelled as he saw no surgical scar but was puzzled at the sutures about his lower jaw, all this while his abdomen was purple and he was actually now, in fact, dying. And the other patient who was supposed to have a jaw operation now still had an aching jaw and also now a strange new major surgical scar about the abdominal area.
There were other athletes.
One of the athletes was a billionaire, a sea captain who rented a couple of BC Ferries at night, he held a bizarre version of an Easter Egg hunt except it was not Easter and the hunt was not for coloured eggs but a $100,000 diamond ring, had knocked out the lights and fitted them with actual corpses and a stuntman who was encouraged to beat anyone up he could find while he walked throughout the ferryboat disguised as a zombie. And recently in the news, there was a ferry accident when a state of the art, modern ferryboat capsized and sank. The news reported that all on board had perished.
And another participant was a structural engineer who decided to raise the bar once and for all and build the ultimate roller coaster. This roller coaster was to have a 100 storey drop.He predicted that 50% of the riders would and should die of shock and sheer abject terror in order for it to be a top class World class roller coaster. See, he reasoned, if 0% of the people died, it would be no good, but also, if 100% of the riders died, it would be no good as well! The first hill was a hundred storeys.
The entire edifice, looked at from a distance had a Tim Burton, offwordly quality to it like something out of a dream.
The roller coaster had been largely dismantled leaving behind a few roller coaster cars, and it was converted into makeshift bleachers, for the site of the Special Mental Winter Games was very close to this dismantled railed structure.
Another athlete was a customs officer at an isolated border post. Cabin fever inevitably set in for him, and so he expertly stencilled an official looking sign stating in effect that all travellers had to have proof gender". Travellers were asked to pull down their pants in order to "provide proof of gender". Travellers were already pulling down their pants for customs officers for other reasons anyway. What tripped him up was that he refused to believe that one of his female travellers was really a woman when he demanded her to pull down her drawers. It turns out that she was the wife of a politician!
ch 3
As the ferryboat sank, a teenager stood on the prow and yelled, "I'm the King of the World!" In spite of it all, a few passengers laughed. The sea captain with his money had rented an underwater sub. The sea captain knew the passenger manifest. He knew that there was one missing passenger. During a weekend pass, he arranged to bring the passenger to the Special Winter Games Village, temporarily, until it could be moved to his next 'Easter Egg hunt' soiree. He placed it in one of the old roller coaster cars at the rollercoaster/bleachers near the village.
The Roller Coaster Engineer saw the body and thought that they would blame him for it so he moved the body to an out of the way place under the bleachers where it was found. But he was blamed for it anyways. At least he was one of the suspects.
The Constable Chris Hines did indeed decide to have a peek at what was in a bag that was left near the Roller Coaster. What was there was incriminating and conclusive evidence as to the sea captian's salvaging of a body that was supposed to be missing including plans, photos, and gloves and pictures of the remote submarine.
Detective Chris Hines was at the funeral of the man found under the bleachers. The Constable walked up to the sea captain and said, "We know it is you. You might as well give up."
The engineer tried unsuccessfully to kill himself that night. But when he awoke in the hospital after having his stomach pumped and treated with an antidote to the pills he had ingested, Constable Chris Hines was there at the side of his bed. The engineer was placed under arrest.
As it turns out, fears of mental patients murdering people were unfounded and it was decided that permission for mental patients to take parts in sports was granted.

A Tale of Two STAR WARS
A Tale of Two STAR WARS
STAR WARS - The Phantom Menace
STAR WARS - Attack Of The Clones
Sountrack:
Eddie Rabbitt - I Love A Rainy Night
As you might have noticed, this video has been removed. "Removed from the archives you say? Erased from the memory. Disturbing this is."
George Lucas obviously arranged to have this video removed. His iron glove and his tight control over STAR WARS.
What can you say about George Lucas?
It is not as if he is an actual artist who designed anything. Ralph McQuarrie, who went to Vancouver Technical High School, showed George Lucas 15 designs of each character, here is 15 designs of C3PO and George Lucas picked the design.
Like that animator JVCFelix on YouTube said, "George Lucas: "STAR WARS is my creation, it is my painting, and if I want to paint it Jar Jar, I'll paint it Jar Jar."
What can you say about George Lucas? What drugs was he on?
Never mind all that. Love that artist. George Lucas is a genius who has improved all of our lives and the world is a much changed place, a much better place.

Teach English in Brunei
fiction
The travel magazine at the Library had an article about teaching English in Brunei. That couhtry is located at the tip of Southeast Asia.
It has been ruled by the same family for 600 years. From the 14th to 16th Century, it was the most powerful Sultanate in that region; the Indonesia/Philippines region.
The capital city is Bandar Seri Begawan.
The travel magazine said that English teachers there get paid at rates comparable to what English teachers in Saudi Arabia are paid. This is one of the most lucrative Engish teaching posts for expats on the planet and starting rates of $40,000 a year are not unheard of.
There is also a one month paid vacation in Switzerland. Of course one does not have to go to Switzerland but that is where most vacationing expat English teachers teaching in Brunei or Saudi Arabia go to, if not for the snob appeal.
It is recommended that a person converts to Islam but most people who go there reconvert back to Buddhims or Christianity when they repatriate.
After a couple of years of teaching in Brunei, they could retire for the rest of their life in a country where the cost of living is not expensive, like Thailand.
All one has to do is to take a TOESL or a TEFL course and that costs about $1,000.
I decided to give it a shot.
Travelling there on a plane. Arriving in BSB, it was hot like an oven. I was soon brought to my digs which was a really nice modern condo with a chambermaid. I made enough money to eat steak and lobsters and sushi all the time.
After my first two year stint of teaching in Brunei, I spent the next ten years travelling to different countries, when I ran out of money, I simply went back to Brunei and signed up for another tour of duty which is another year of teaching.
Eventually, against all logic, incredibly, incredulously, I wound up getting married with a lady whom I knew for a few years.

Furnished 2 bedroom house in good area - monthly rent BND 4,000.00 $2,889.13 £1,475.19 €1,853.09

2/3 star hotel - 1 night stay BND 100.00 $72.23
Narrator: $5,000 BND is about four thousand Canadian a month, and that 40 thousand dollars a year salary. With the free accomodation, one can save a lot of money in a few years. If I live conservatively, living at budget guesthouses, I can live in Thailand for at least five years with 40 grand a year.
Brunei is one of the wealthiest countries in the World. It makes its living largely from oil revenues.
The Sultanate of Brunei had control of the region from the 14th to 16th Century. From the 16th to 19th Century, the realm of Brunei was occupied by Spain. From 1841 to 1946, three White Rajahs with the name of Brooke, James Brooke 1841 - 1868, Charles Brooke 1868 - 1917, Vyner Brooke 1917 - 1946 who married a Miss Sylvia Brett created the Dynasty of the Kingdom of Sarawak as they ruled the region.
In 1946, after the War, Vyner Brooke ceded control of the region to the British in return for a sizeable pension. In 1984, Brunei attained independence from the British. Today, the ruler is a descendant of the six hundred year old Sultanate of Brunei. Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, a titular name for the Dynasty since the 15th Century, is the current Sultan or King of Brunei.
This sounds like an exotic place and what I would like to get away from is familiarity. I don't like regression and therefore I would like to live in a place as far away from anything I have ever known for reasons of adventure.

If you want to save some serious money - give it a shot.
Living in the Arab world is not for everyone, and Saudi Arabia is the home to some of the most conservative forms of Islam. But, if you are tough enough and have your mind set on a goal, you can succeed - and you can save some serious money.
Partyland? Hardly. Movie theaters are “forbidden” as are most forms of fun. There are a few “male-only” bowling alleys. Dating? A serious criminal offense. Night clubs? Forget about it!
But you can make friends, and in the quiet of some housing compounds you can find a drink or two and some peaceful socializing. Is it all bad? Not if you don’t mind a quiet life.
One of the better places for looking for jobs in the Middle-East is Bayt Recruiting. If the Middle East is not for you and you want to save money - a good alternative is Korea. Check out www.TEFLDaddy.com – a great place for newbies to start.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Narrator: Saudi Arabia pays about the same rate as Brunei. Saudi Arabia is very conservative. I live a very reclusive and quiet lifestyle. I don't drink that often.
I would rather teach English in Brunei because that country more resembles Thailand and that is what I am comfortable with. I have worked with Muslims before in Thailand and taught in a couple of all Muslim high schools there. They are nice people.
