So Sad: NYC Woman Blogs Suicide Note Before Apparently Killing Herself

Source: Geber86 / Getty NYC Woman Blogs Her Suicide Note A Manhattan woman blogged her own suicide note on her personal web site before she apparently hung herself in her West Village apartment, according to a Daily News report Thursday. Tara Condell, 27, was found dead by cops after not reporting to work. She was reportedly found hanging from the closet door of her W. 10th St. apartment. In a note on her web site titled “I Hate the Word ‘Bye,’ But See You Later Maybe?” Condell said she was “plain old-fashioned tired of feeling tired. I have written this note several times in my head for over a decade, and this one finally feels right. No edits, no overthinking,” she wrote. Condell’s bio describes her as a registered dietitian and nutritionist specializing in general nutrition, weight management, gastrointestinal disease, and geriatric health. From her Instagram page, Tara showed followers how much she loved to travel and try different foods. So sad. In the note, she details her reasoning behind her decision, asking her friends and family not to blame herself. Scroll down to read Tara’s final letter to her family and friends at your own discretion. Tara blogged the following goodbye note on her website. I Hate The Word “Bye”, But See You Later Maybe? I have written this note several times in my head for over a decade, and this one finally feels right. No edits, no overthinking. I have accepted hope is nothing more than delayed disappointment, and I am just plain old-fashioned tired of feeling tired. I realize I am undeserving of thinking this way because I truly have a great life on paper. I’m fortunate to eat meals most only imagine. I often travel freely without restriction. I live alone in the second greatest American city (San Francisco, you’ll always have my heart). However, all these facets seem trivial to me. It’s the ultimate first world problem, I get it. I often felt detached while in a room full of my favorite people; I also felt absolutely nothing during what should have been the happiest and darkest times in my life. No single conversation or situation has led me to make this decision, so at what point do you metaphorically pull the trigger? I’m going to miss doing NYT crosswords (I was getting really good). That one charcuterie board with taleggio AND ‘nduja. Anything Sichuan ma la, but that goes without saying. A perfect plate of carbonara (no cream!). Real true authentic street tacos. Cal-Italian cuisine. Hunan Bistro’s fried rice. The pork belly and grape mini from State Bird Provisions circa 2013. Popeye’s of course. Bambas too. I’m also going to miss unexpected hugs. Al Green’s Simply Beautiful. Cherries in July. Tracing a sleeping eyebrow. Smoking cigarettes. The Golden Gate Bridge at sunset. That first sip of iced cold brew in sticky August. Making eye contact with people walking down the street. When songs feel like they’re speaking to your soul. Jeopardy. Saying I love you. Late night junk food binges. Shooting the shit. And especially the no-destination-in-sight long walks. No GoFundMes, no funeral, no tributes, no doing-too-much please. All I ask now is for you to have one delicious (I mean a really really great) meal in my honor and let me go, no exceptions. It’s selfishly time for me to be happy and I know you can get down with that. Please try to remember me as a whole human you shared memories with and not just my final act. This is not your fault. It’s not exactly easy for me either, I’m here for you. I love you. I always have and I always will, I promise. Shikata ga’nai. I’m coming home, Dad. Make some room up on that cloud and turn the Motown up. I’m really sorry mama. Always, TLC

According to reports , the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville will be conducting live and inert bomb training at Pinecastle Range Complex in the Ocala National Forest.

The range complex is about 2 miles west of the Camp Ocala campgrounds and near several hiking trails. It’s common for F-18 jet fighters and other Navy aircraft to drop bombs in the middle of the range. Training will be conducted from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. from Thursday through Sunday. Jacksonville natives who are affected by the loud explosives are asked to call the Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility . Be safe, though.

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty via Madamenoire : In 2019, talented women are still relying on men to advocate on their behalf for deserved higher salaries at work. Oscar winner Octavia Spencer revealed during a Sundance panel mentioned that basketball champion, LeBron James ,had to vouch for her to receive a higher pay for her role in their upcoming Netflix series.

Email Submit James is producing the Madame C.J. Walker series, that documents the life of the first Black female millionaire in U.S. history. “I have to say, when I was negotiating my deal for Madam C.J., LeBron James had to intervene,” Spencer said, according to IndieWire. “So we need all our male counterparts to be in the fight with us.” Spencer’s admission comes almost a year to the day where she confessed another ally, actress Jessica Chastain , vouched for more pay for Octavia for their 2011 film, “ The Help .” SEE ALSO:  Octavia Spencer To Play Hair Mogul Madam CJ Walker In New Netflix Series “I love that woman, because she’s walking the walk and she’s actually talking the talk,” Spencer said of her former co-star. “She said, ‘Octavia we’re gonna get you paid on this film. You and I are gonna be tied together. We’re gonna be favored nations, and we’re gonna make the same thing.’ Fast forward to last week, we’re making five times what we asked for.” While it’s incredible that both men and women have aligned themselves to help the actress get paid what she deserves, it’s still disturbing that without these allies, Black women would continually be left behind in the race for equality. “I think my goal is to make sure that all women of color get equal pay, and all women get equal pay,” Spencer told audiences at the Sundance panel. “The only way to do it is to have these conversations, to talk numbers with your costars. Jessica and I stood together, and that was interesting that she would take that position — well, I mean, she is Jessica Chastain — but we also need advocates and allies in negotiating.” Check out photos of Octavia Spencer on the red carpet below!

Jermaine Jackson Cries After ‘Leaving Neverland’ Premiere: ‘There Is No Truth To This Documentary’ [Video]

Jermaine Jackson wants no parts of the ‘ Leaving Neverland’ documentary , which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and details the explosive sexual assault allegations against his brother Michael Jackson . On Wednesday, Jermaine appeared on Good Morning Britain to defend his late brother and speak on behalf of the entire Jackson clan, saying: “I’m a thousand percent sure because Michael was tried by a jury and he was acquitted on all of this because there was no real evidence. There was nothing there. I will say this, our family are tired, very tired. Let this man rest. He did a lot for the world, let him rest. I will say this, there is no truth to this documentary.” He added: “We are living in a time when people can say anything and then it’s taken as truth… they would rather believe a documentary than what was said under oath. We are still mourning… just leave us alone, leave him alone. Let him rest, please, let him rest. He deserves to rest.” The controversial four-hour exposé will premiere on HBO this spring.

What In The El Chapo? Florida Sinkhole Turned Out To Be Underground Tunnel To A Bank 

Source: Getty / Getty The world is officially turning into a Sci-Fi movie by the day. FBI officials have just discovered that a sinkhole just north of Miami, Florida is actually an unfinished 150-foot-long tunnel to a bank across the street. Here’s a look at the underground tunnel leading up to a Florida bank – discovered when police responded to a possible sinkhole. The FBI says it’s about 50 yards long and just 2-4 feet wide. The attempted bank burglary on @ABCWorldNews pic.twitter.com/34i17BKYru — Victor Oquendo (@VictorOquendo) January 30, 2019 Agent Leverock told reporters that the tunnel was so narrow “a person would have to lie on his or her stomach to navigate it.” According to the FBI news release , Inside or near the tunnel, investigators found a wagon that had likely been used to haul dirt, as well as a power generator and a winch, which can be used to haul heavy loads. “Everybody here is just shaking their heads,” Agent Leverock said. “They could’ve been going for the A.T.M., they could’ve been going for the vault.” Police are still baffled and investigating the mysterious tunnel. No arrests have been made.

Pubic Display Of Affection: Austin Police Pop Dingy Derelict For Power-Drilling Her Puddycat In Public,

Source: Kristina Strasunske / Getty Woman Arrested For Maturbating Publicly Masturbates In Back Of Cop Car If you’re horny, just do it, ride it, my pony. Those are the words of iconic American panty-purser Ginuwine, but its just a song, not life advice. Unfortunately, people like 26-year-old Dovie Nickels might have a difficult time understanding that. According to NYPost , police in Austin, Texas arrested Nickels for indecent exposure, what was she indecently exposing? Allow us to tell you… Police responded to a complaint from the JW Marriott Austin Hotel about 5:20 p.m. Tuesday about a woman across the street “holding a silver object” against her privates “with her legs straight up in the air, spread open,” according to the arrest affidavit. The hotel employee added that he could hear the woman “making moaning noises”. When he approached her to tell her to stop, she went to a bar next door where she continued her masturbatory mission. When police arrived at the bar where Nickels was double-clicking her mouse, she tried to play it off by putting her hands on the table, but officers noticed that she wasn’t wearing any pants. Even after being arrested Nickels reportedly continued to masturbate in the back of the cop car. At what point do you decide that getting a nut just isn’t worth it? SMH.

Lolo Jones Reportedly Slapped The Glasses Off Tamar Braxton

Source: CBS Photo Archive / Getty Former olympic athlete Lolo Jones reportedly slapped the sunglasses off Tamar Braxton on a recent episode of  Celebrity Big Brother.  Cameras caught Tamar and Lolo in a heated verbal altercation, however, the surveillance footage abruptly ends during their dispute. According to several reports, tension between Tamar and Lolo had been building and boiled over on Sunday night. “I’ve had growing frustrations with Tamar because every day Tamar is mad at someone,” Jones said during her confessional. “I’m starting to feel like a punching bag and it’s exhausting.” Tamar grew irate when Lolo apparently called her a “b*tch,” and threatened to start “yanking,” to which Lolo responded, “do it.” And that’s when cameras cut the feed. Despite certain reports, Lolo wasn’t kicked off the show and allegedly apologized to Tamar. According to ETOnline, “they hugged it out.” Tamar’s time on Celebrity Big Brother has been nothing short of entertaining. Since the moment she’s gotten there she’s had beef with pretty much everyone, including her former tour mate Kandi Burruss. Celebrity Big Brother airs Monday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
