Suicidal Goldfish

Thought Catalog was in the bookmarks collection, and PG did not know how it got there. This is not unusual. What was unusual was clicking on the link, and the first story to come up is ” My Childhood Was Marred By Suicidal Goldfish”. The good news is, the writer is still in New Jersey, and has not moved to Atlanta. At least that we know about.
The story is about a person …
“Caitlin successfully pretends to be a writer in both the Bronx, and the deepest, darkest, most rural parts of New Jersey. She also enjoys floral prints immensely. You can follow her on Twitter @heycvh. “ … who was traumatized because a pet fish was knocked onto the carpet by a cat. The fish did not ask the cat to help, at least that humans were aware of. The second incident of piscean demise was at a festival, when a fidh was spilled out of a cup and into the street. This is what goes for tough love in New Jersey.
PG left a comment.
“I was cleaning out my bookmark folder, and I saw thought catalog. I wondered what it was. I opened it, and saw the headline ” My Childhood Was Marred By Suicidal Goldfish” Against my better judgement, I read the story. This lady must have a charmed life, even in New Jersey, if this is the worst thing that has happened to her. The comment got two replies. An hour later, Matt Good said “Seriously?”, and guest said “you sound fun”. ”
The story advertised home depot and target. It was above the story of a 19yo who is ordered to go to an AA meeting by a judge. His twitter handle is @barf_city. Something says AA might not be the answer. His last coherent tweet:
“The Lohan family is a classic example of what happens when your great great grandmother dies with nothing but gypsy debt to her name.”
Thought Catalog has a ten point list on the “about” page. It sounds pretty good, until you get to point five: “5. Reading Thought Catalog will probably make you more interesting. You’re going to find out about stuff here you won’t see in the mainstream media. Thought Catalog will open new perspectives.” Anyone who uses the phrase “mainstream media” is probably a republican.
The editor of Thought Catalog is a man named Ryan O’Connell. He wrote two of the features on the front page, which is sponsored by Downey fabric softener. His last repeatable tweet was
“I’ve had orgasms that lasted longer than Kim Kardashian’s marriage. #beinggayisgay”. Pictures today are from The Library of Congress .

    […] other day, PG stopped by a site, and saw a story about Suicidal Goldfish. This facility has several new stories every day, which is a good reason to stop by. You never know […]
