Martin Manley included photos throughout the website he built to explain his decision to commit suicide. He wrote: "Not only (do I) look 60, I think 60. I act 60... I am 60 ... ! I'll never have to see myself at 70 or 80 -- and that's a good thing." Martin Manley

Martin Manley at age four. "As a child I grew up poor along with my mom, dad, brother and sister. We didn't have much and it would be disingenuous to say we at least had each other. I suppose that's technically true, but I'm not sure how much value there was in having each other -- since all that meant was that we shared the same roof." Martin Manley

Manley is consistently matter-of-fact about the details of his suicide plan. But it's not hard to feel chills at this photo he snapped of the exact spot -- under the tree -- where he would take his own life.﻿ Martin Manley

"One thing is for sure, Fedoras may have caught my eye as a fashion statement, but shoes certainly never did," Manley wrote. He collected hats, but bragged of wearing a pair of $12 Wal-mart shoes for 12 years. Martin Manley

"At first, I just owned a couple of Fedoras, but then I bought a couple more. And, then I guess I got infected by the female shopping gene because, despite being extremely cheap, I got up to about a dozen hats," he wrote on the site. "I finally stopped at 25 when I realized I wasn't going to be around in another 14 months. Besides, I had just about covered all the colors." Martin Manley

"Take a look at my billfold," Manley wrote. "I had this puppy attached to my butt for the last 23 years of my life! I super-glued it back together on multiple occasions. It became somewhat of a cold slap in the face when I realized that I had become my shoes... that I had become my billfold." Martin Manley
