Owen, not a person in this World can judge you. Only God can judge you. I do not what is going on in your life so I’ll tell you what I do know. You are idolized by many. You are the reason I go to the theater and spend my saving on crappy popcorn.haha You are the reason I sit up at night and laugh. You and your movies have filled my life with so much laughter. When I get down I watch you in Wedding Crashers or any other movie and you pull me out of my hole. I love you! We all do. You are the best actor, comedian, and all around you are a good man. The next time you get scared or down watch your movies. For those minutes you watch those movies be your character again and clam down. I hope you know you are great and you are loved. Thank you for saving my life with laughter.

I don’t know if he will see these but…
Owen, your life is a gift. Your talent is also a gift. Whatever you came to to get you where you were is only TEMPORARY. Nothing is permanent. Change is what life is. You have the wheel here my freind. You can creat something different if you choose to. It’s a choice. You just made a fear based choice, that’s all. Don’t beat yourself up. Just change your mind, your life will follow. I know that you have giving me many hours of fun watching your work. The world would suffer if you were not in it, there are so few who can bring laughter to us in this day and age. Please feel better and know that you can create wonderful things for yourself. I am pulling for you and so is everyone who ever had the joy of watching you work. Know that you are a blessing, you have worth and obviously your work on earth is not done yet…because you are still here. ….have faith and choose wisely. Your thoughts are your reality.

Owen your my favorite actor and i loved when you acted……if you had died look how many peoples lives you would hurt……you didn’t even die and alot of people are hurt……I watched one of your movies 2 nights before you attemped suicide…..when I heard that you did I was in shock….please get well man.

Hey - whenever I’m depressed, I just sing the “Iffin Song” and then I’m happy!. Owen, you need to sing along, and you’ll be happy, too!
Here are the lyrics. Happy singng!

Iffin’, iffin’, iffin’, iffin’.
Iffin’ you wanna feel my embrace
Don’t ya ever wash your face
Iffin’ you really care for me
Don’t ya comb your hair for me
Iffin’ you wanna leave me weak and weepy
Ya gotta look wild and weird and creepy
Iffin’, iffin’, iffin’, iffin’. Ya ya ya!

There is only one probable savior for Owen in this time of need. And she can be at his place in less than 30 minutes. Jessica Alba! Go to his house right now and make mad love to him! Be Owen’s savior, Jessica! We know you can do it!

Surely no one would commit suicide after sleeping with this goddess?

If Owen was a Bokononist, he wouldn’t be having any of these problems…

Would Bokonon commit suicide? Never!

Put your feet up and feel the power.

None of you should convert to Bokononism.

Does anyone know why Owen is so down? Does it have anything to do with the breakup of Kate Hudson? Is it drug related? He has such a great sense of humour, you would think that is enough to keep him lifted from any depression…He seems to have a good balance of his own humour? Wow! You just never know how sad someone is? and thats why it is true that we all treat each other better, cause we all have these days that really bother us, perhaps not suicidal, but hard days that we wish we had a special friend who understood…or made us laugh! We should all make each other laugh as much as possible…even if we are corny…

There were some suicides I couldn’t help. There were several friends that I hadn’t seen for a while, so hearing about their untimely deaths was a shock. Two of those had debilitating health conditions and couldn’t take the pain anymore. Three others were depressed but their close associates were afraid to say anything. Others that I have seen frequently, I was able to help through some very dark times. It’s being able to show there is some light at the end of the tunnel that had made a difference. I feel sorry for all those who suffer pain as a result of the indifference of others. Perhaps a closer walk with God may help them see their worth.

having lived with a depressed person and having been driven there trying to help keep them and the family above water. Sometimes it isn’t something as easy as a hug or a nice comment. I could be at work, being in a people industry, and have the greatest day and have people tell me all day what I delight I am to have around. But at the end of the day I see my short comings and what I could have done better at or did different in the past that haunts me. I married a man and had children with him and never ever would have thought he would do the things that he did. He has made me and my childrens lives living hell. To come out of that smelling the roses and beening happy has not happened yet for any of us. Will it ever………..No one knows. they say that Help is only a phone call away putting the big picture together is sometimes harder. You are living in a place where you think maybe this is how life is….maybe everybody feels this way. Maybe I did something to deserve this…..no matter how many times your told you still blame yourself. We don’t know what goes on in his daily life or in his most private moments. He may feel troubled by a past that no one knows of. We can just all think about him and others like him and pray that maybe just maybe the world would be nicer if we would just help the person next to you…it just could save a life.

To live or not to live. That is the question. Those who attempt suicide do so because they can’t see their way out of their current predicament. If we know of anyone who seems very depressed by what’s happening in their lives, we ought to step in and do something even if only to direct them to a therapist. I’ve known several suicides. If they realized that someone was going to have to clean their brains off the wall or out of the car, they might have thought twice. We can also tell someone who seems depressed that we feel better off by having known that person. A hug might help. It’s not a light subject but getting a depressed person to laugh causes a rift in their cloak of despair. It might be enough to let in some love of life.

Topper…as are you and an intelligent conversationalist as well…and amusing. :) The kind of person I would hang with.
oo,oo,oo…Got to let you know that it was your opening sentence in the first reply that got my attention and prompted a reply- who made you the vanguard of “art, laughter, wit, intelligence, character, talent?” (grin) I loved the use of the word ‘vanguard’….and putting the barb at the end was excellent. :) Not vulgar or overly done.

I’m with you Bobinaustin, well put.

Just want to add that it’s good to see proper etiquette and intelligent, comprehensive, insightful, thoughtful posts are dominant in this forum….with the exception of this previous guys post.

I know the poster famefortuneapathy a.k.a. Use_a_Gun_Next_Time… and he actually is a psychologist. He has pioneered the technique of perverse psychology, in which uninhibited ruthlessness is sprayed on the patient until they realize they were overthinking the situation that made them feel suicidal.

Owen, there are many meanings to life, and it’s your job to create them. Get to work shoesy, unless you just signed on with the Lohan/Hilton publicist, in which case congratulations on already creating some and getting random consumers to beg you to stay alive only so you can continue to entertain them.

Of course people are going to be ugly about Owen’s sad situation—people can be so mean and petty. I for one am hoping he finds what he needs. All the people who know him (neighbors, etc.) say he is as sweet in person as he seems—and you know what? It doesn’t even matter. Six weeks ago I was in a similar situation. I’m 2 yrs older than he is, and have battled depression and addiction since the age of 15. I jsut wasn’t gonna do it anymore. It’s his choice how much he wants to endure—for some of us there really is no good solution to these problems, and I feel it is our right to decide how much to take. But I hope he finds something that makes beieng here ok…I’ve enjoyed his work, and feel he only adds to my experience here.

I am a mother, daughter, sister, and a human. I have been through things with my child that I wouldn’t wish on anybody. We have had a long ten years of depressing, drugs, suicide attempts, counseling, medication, incarceration and anything else in between. It is one of the hardest things in the world to try and help someone through their life and not know or not see how to help. Know one knows how much the SOUL can take except that one person that is caught up in it. Sometimes they need help understanding how to get there. My heart goes out to ANYONE who has to deal with a situation that makes them feel “this is the only way for it to stop hurting”. I have felt that way myself but still find a ray of hope to strive to make it. People who say negative things are only searching for recognition because they don’t in their lives. This world is hard enough for me I can’t imagine having people following and examining my every move, relationship, emotion. It takes alot to just live a normal life without people JUDGING your every move. Just because he has money and is a movie star doesn’t make him any different than your dad, son, brother, neighbor or you. My heart and soul goes out to him and his family. The road ahead will be just as hard as the road behind but….he has a lot of people pulling for him. The past is something that you can never change but learn a thing or two from. They say hind sight is 20/20 if we all had the chance to do things differently I’m sure we ALL have somethings we would change. That is why we live…to learn.

BBryson - you are a good judge of behavior and character, and you have me pegged perfectly. It’s fun barbing with you! I suppose that we’re both pretty full now, huh? Thanks for accepting my apology and keep on caring.

Jus got to love people who state their loved ones have lost their lives to suicide, only to then throw up all over those who show compassion to Mr. Wilson. Jus got to love all the judgement of those who hit such dark places. The ray of light is the compassion in this post, by people that I suspect would be compassionate to most anyone who was struggling at such a deep level. It takes real courage to care, to be compassionate. Anger is easy. Very easy. Very lazy. My advice to all the angry people? Get the courage to care.

Topper
We are in agreement where it counts…gotta admit, barbs kinda fun. Have a great day..and I’m outa here for now.

Aww Topper, I was just coming back because I felt a little bad about returning your personal attack. Still can’t quite grasp why you start a post in support of an arguement with such hostility. I think you may have jumped on my case a little too quickly. Whether one likes Owen Wilson’s body of work or style was not the issue with me, it was the nasty comments from people basing his worth and/or right to life based on their opinion of his appearance. There are so many better characteristics and qualities by which to judge.
Anyhoo, I taste pretty yummy according to my paramour…Mmmm he’s right. Oh, and I accept your apology.
Have a good day.

BBryson - Continue to eat yourself and gain much weight doing so. It was my intent to support your agrument. Glad you like the list. Who cares what they looked like? I have to admit, though, Liza Minelli was particularly hot in her 40s! But then I digress - this is about Owen Wilson, right?

Go eat yourself Topper and good luck keeping it down.

It is still my opinion that individuals who place value solely on a persons appearance are missing so much more that humanity has to offer.

Love your examples though and there are so many, many more….you have to admit they are not a group of people admired for their perfect appearance but rather their vision, talent and accomplishments. You supported my arguement….thank you. :)
