The Suicidal Note of Kurt Donald Cobain, 1967-1994

and this is what he wrote,more than decade ago,to us, his fans--listeners of unbelieveable guitaring and outstanding vocals....


"To Boddah
Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complain-ee. This note should be pretty easy to understand.

All the warnings from the punk rock 101 courses over the years, since my first introduction to the, shall we say, ethics involved with independence and the embracement of your community has proven to be very true. I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guity beyond words about these things.

For example when we're back stage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begins., it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddie Mercury, who seemed to love, relish in the the love and adoration from the crowd which is something I totally admire and envy. The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. It simply isn't fair to you or me. The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage. I've tried everything within my power to appreciate it (and I do,God, believe me I do, but it's not enough). I appreciate the fact that I and we have affected and entertained a lot of people. It must be one of those narcissists who only appreciate things when they're gone. I'm too sensitive. I need to be slightly numb in order to regain the enthusiasms I once had as a child.

On our last 3 tours, I've had a much better appreciation for all the people I've known personally, and as fans of our music, but I still can't get over the frustration, the guilt and empathy I have for everyone. There's good in all of us and I think I simply love people too much, so much that it makes me feel too fucking sad. The sad little, sensitive, unappreciative, Pisces, Jesus man. Why don't you just enjoy it? I don't know!

I have a goddess of a wife who sweats ambition and empathy and a daughter who reminds me too much of what i used to be, full of love and joy, kissing every person she meets because everyone is good and will do her no harm. And that terrifies me to the point to where I can barely function. I can't stand the thought of Frances becoming the miserable, self-destructive, death rocker that I've become.

I have it good, very good, and I'm grateful, but since the age of seven, I've become hateful towards all humans in general. Only because it seems so easy for people to get along that have empathy. Only because I love and feel sorry for people too much I guess.

Thank you all from the pit of my burning, nauseous stomach for your letters and concern during the past years. I'm too much of an erratic, moody baby! I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away.

Peace, love, empathy.
Kurt Cobain

Frances and Courtney, I'll be at your alter.
Please keep going Courtney, for Frances.
For her life, which will be so much happier without me.


I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU! "

JBV MEETS OXFORD

This paraody has been written by me on the wonderful teachers of my JB Vachha High school, poking fun at their peculiarities...it is all done in good humour, with no offence meant to anyone and but obviously can be enjoyed by fellow vachhaites alone...this has already been circulating via e-mail so i thought i might as well put it up on my blog for this is one of those articles that has won me immense accolades, appreciation and made me famous...er..or is it infamous?? well,to care least,i know for one, this is my true masterpiece:)

Once jbv teachers went to oxford to attend an English lecture by prof.william shakespeare. He started wid a topic called ROMEO N JULIET.
At dis ms. sushma (SC quota) reacted: ROMEO N JULIET!!! Its pathetic! U know u should not talk abt romance in d class! I have a brother……

W.Shakespeare: but…..I…..thee…thou….thy….

Sushma: u know he’s so strict….im supposed to reach home each day by 8.30 pm OF d evening…….

Makoogina: W.Shakespeare may speak all d good English n all tat….but look at his dressing sense! I mean….you can put a person in couture but you can never put couture in tat person…..

Navre: SHIT DOWN SUSHMA SHIT DOWN!

Sushma: once I reached home at 8.31 pm ….tat time I was in 3rd STD…..cos I was late FROM 1 min….. N he slapped me…

Vaidyanathan: ah! Newton’s third law of motion….to every action ders an equal n opposite reaction………

W.Shakespeare:{frustrated} SHE ALREADY SHAT DOWN!

Rabadi: its not SHAT DOWN its SAT DOWN

W.Shakespeare: I KNOW DAMN IT! IM WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE!

Bhumgara: Romeo n Helen…..no peter n Juliet…..zzzzzzz

Navre: ganpati bapa moriya! Managal murti moriya!

Sushma:…I was born at 8.32 pm….my brother slapped me……n d doctor also…..

After dis, it had become just too much to take so W.Shakespeare ran out of d class nvr returning to oxford again. Many leading journalists, news channels n royal families tried to inquire….but like his famous saying goes….TO TELL OR NOT TO TELL
IS THE QUESTION!
