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.   :)
