u ever heard the saying alcohol is liquid courage?

well thats one thing i never wanted to depend on.

i mean if u need alcohol to give a presentation, hollar at some hot chick, or fly a plane then to me thats unstable.

i mean if i see some hot chick at the grocery store and i want to talk to her what am i gonna do buy some grey goose and cranberry juice and start mixing it up in the frozen food section?

i conditioned myself to be GREAT without the need of any alcohol.

i used to be scared shitlesss to fly and always needed to get hammered before take off.

but now i just fly with ease just by conditioning myself the natural way

alcohol helped me get over my fear of heights. ( i don't recommend trying the method i used as it can easily result in a drunken stumble and some broken bones). Its not like someone can control when they are manic or depressive it just shows up wether they want it to or not.

yeah alcohol actually acted as red bull in me. meaning how most peeps pass out and fall asleep when drunk me on the other hand i can dance/party/F all night!

so when in vegas id be doing all nighters till bout 10-11am just off the alcohol.

i disagree that he was bipolar cause generally speaking the bipolar people i encountered and possibly myself lol tend to be really really freakin happy and then realy depressed. theres no signs yet that this kid was every really happy. also bipolar people tend to be real creative and talented in some artistic artform of expression hahaha i havent really seen that in him yet? that is interesting in the messiah complex you mentioned.

i remember going back to when i used to drink alcohol i felt bipolar like effects meaning obviously a good buzzzzzz would make you feel good, but the stress drama of work/school/girls etc would bring you down once again. thats one of the  other reasons why i quit alcohol too.

The problem with some bipolar people is that they self medicate (and that would make things worse) and there people who react VERY differently to being bipolar and not on medication....there was a football player a couple years ago, Barrett Robbins who is bipolar but experienced more depression than anything else then you come to Alonzo Spellman who according to wikipedia did this....

Spellman exhibited erratic behavior during his time with the Bears. The first incident in which this behavior became public was in March of 1998, in which Spellman became enraged when a doctor was late for an appointment, pulling a telephone off of a wall and threatening suicide. Complicating matters, Spellman had access to alcohol and a firearm and by this time weighed in the neigborhood of 300 lbs (136 kg). Authorities were called in, and friend and former teammate Mike Singletary helped get Spellman to check into a hospital, but Spellman later wandered out of the hospital.

Spellman was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but refused to take medication, instead becoming increasingly reliant on drugs and alcohol. This led to even more erratic behavior and run-ins with the law. These problems, along with his refusal to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his injured shoulder, led to Spellman's release by the Bears.

Spellman started taking medication and his disorder did not cause any major problems during his time with the Cowboys and Lions. However, after his NFL career ended, Spellman stopped taking his medication and again ran into problems with the law. Most notably, he had a manic episode on July 23, 2002 in which he disrupted a flight from Cincinnati to Philadelphia. Spellman initially suggested that the flight was going to crash, then became verbally abusive to other passengers and threatened members of the flight crew. The plane was forced to make an emergency landing. Spellman was released, but then destroyed some property at his brother's home and was taken to a psychiatric hospital. He was later arrested on charges of terrorizing the 138 passengers on the plane. Although doctors confirmed that he had bipolar disorder, Spellman was determined to be legally sane and spent 18 months in federal prison.

In interviews with ESPN, Spellman has said he now knows how important it is to take the medication for his disorder. He had hoped to return to the NFL, but his age and history presented significant barriers to a comeback. He is now "100 percent into" mixed martial arts.


Schizophrenia would be another guess of mine...but it's very tricky to guess at what someone is afflicted with, without doing a true analysis of his symptoms.....to do that you have to ask a number of questions, what, when, where, how much....and based on the answers given even with a "crazy person" you get a better idea as to what is wrong....family history helps out a lot too as most mental disorders are genetic

Schizophrenia is bi polar disorder.

Well as an US Infantry man I shoot a wide variety of assault weapons regularly. I own two shotguns for hunting and one for home defense(mainly for the wife during deployments) as well as three rifles( .22 .32 .30 for hunting and collecting. That being said I don't own or have any desire to own a assault rifle or handgun. Many of my coworkers do though. In the end I believe we as a country and a world don't put enough onus on personal accountability. Blame the person for the horrible act not the intantimate object. We as a country can only start to fix our errors when we start holding people feet to the fire when they fuckup and not let them copout with some BS excuse. I guesss I'm just a redneck American but you can have my firearm when you pull it from my cold dead hand.

no that is a personality disorder. bi polar and a skitzo are two different things.

CC for your service and for your view on the situation

[TheBESTP4P]

all interesting......... but i see a major problem here we wont know if this kids was abused which my theory was he was severly abused since his writings are clearly obsessed with abuse.

its not like his dad or uncle will come forward and be all like hey its my fault i used to molest the kid back in the day u feel me?

unless say his sister comes forward or someone else that knew exactly what went on in this kids child hood or whatever?

[El Kabong]

He could have been molested.....but he also could have been a molester as well.


He did seem confused, I think the molestation was not the biggest issue with him.....the mental disorders and dellusions were, because they affected other people obviously.

i dont know bro ill be completely honest here and say ........ I was sexually harassed by a WHITE MAN boss of mine and it fucked me up big time yo i almost murdered the guy man!

so just getting sexually harassed as an adult did that much damage to me, imagine a helpless defenseless kid growing up under that.

even after my INCIDENT to this day i dont hate white people or gay people cause i know this one just one random ASSHOLE and not all white people or gay people were like him.

[El Kabong]

yeah definently I understand dude.....I can't say I have been in that situation before but I can imagine it was pretty tough to deal with
