The Recently Deceased.

I'd like to start off with the fact that I am not actually peeved with the recently deceased, its just the suddenness of all of it, if you will. We can start off with Natasha Richardson who passed in March, then Bea Arthur in April. And of course, in June, Michael Jackson died as everyone is fully aware, and three days later Billy Mays died. Infomercials just aren't the same anymore. Oh! We're not done in June. We can't forget about Ed Mc Mahon, Farrah Fawcett(we love you Farrah!) and David Carradine, who died in an, interesting manner, but nonetheless, passed on. And two weeks later in July, Walter Cronkite. And lets not forget about Frank McCourt, author of Angela's Ashes who died two days following Cronkite. Then there's Steve McNair and his horrible murder. The list goes on and on, including Ted Kennedy, John Hughes, Nick Adenhart, and most recently DJ AM. 

I'm really not just trying to list this to sound morbid, though I know I am. It's just that, doesn't it seem as everyone is dropping like flies? Who knows, maybe everyone has been dropping like flies forever and I'm just noticing it. Hopefully Death will hold off for a while. Probably not, but hey its nice to kid ourselves once and a while.   :)

Why Everything Sucks....

Craig Ferguson has just done my job for me.



I may not agree with the whole...you know, everything sucks bit. But I follow his thought process.

I'm Back!/The John and Kate thing.

Alrighty every body! I'm back. After a good encouraging push from my friends Christine and Jean, I have decided to come back to my blog. I know that I was incognito for a while, but, no need to worry, I found my love again! So I thought I'd bring it all back with a little not-so-fresh material, but I feel as if this needs to be adressed.

John and Kate Gosselin:



First things first. Do we really care that much? Do we really care so much about the lives of this pathetic little ex-couple? I know I don't, at least not enough to fixate over them and read ever column ever written about them in People magazine. Okay, so maybe I do that, but never intentionally. I am just an avid People reader and they happen to be in every issue! What concerns me is how everyone reacts to there reactions. For example: Kate appeared on The Today Show and spoke with Meredith Viera. E! News specifically made a ridiculously large issue about how Kate became "emotional" in the interview. Now tell me Ryan Seacrest, if your secret husband which everyone knows you have broke up with you publicly and ran off with a woman half your age, you'd be damn emotional too! Oh not to mention you'd have all those damn kids to take care of. Who knows maybe she's pregnant. Oh! I feel a plot twist coming in their scripted reality life.
