You have been spending way too much time with Samuel L. Jackson as your forum avatar. Its starting to wear off on you.

He battled depression his whole life, and after his meds started giving him severe side effects, he went off them. A couple weeks ago he hung himself.

Samuel L. Jackson makes me laugh. He's creepy and funny all at the same time. Reminds me of the father of a girl I used to date. He had that same look in his eye every time he saw me.

You might be right, though. I'll start looking for another avatar. It might take a while. I like Samuel.
