"Live Famous, Die Famous"

Greetings and salutations to all whom take the time to read, as well as grieve for those whom I have chosen to call our fallen angels, stars and heros. I maybe onto something, but for right now, who cares. The point is not to shine the light on me, but, on those whom have spent their entire, or most of their lives, in the lime light, and are now resting in peace.

It is not an obssession of mine to follow the entertainer, or celebrity, etc. like I am a poparatcy (correct me if I misspelled that), thus it is hard not to miss any horrific, or sad details of that individuals life whenever brodcasted on the air.. Let's take Princess Diana for an example; Although she was going through some rough times in her marriage, it was very hard to swallow the sudden, and tragic death she had. I feel the exact same way about the late Marilyn Monroe. Although I might be alittle bit too young to remember the exact date of her death; History tells us that it was unexspected; The same goes for the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, President John F Kennedy, Malcolm X, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

My list could go on, and on, and on; From Jimi Hendrix to James Belushi, to John Lennon, etc. It is know surprise that an angel, a star or a hero dies an early, and sometimes tragic death. Two of the worlds most famous deaths is the beheading of John the Baptist, and the crucifixion of his first cousin Jesus Christ. Just to name a few more stars that have died early, or tragicly, are Left Eye, from the group TLC, first round draft pick, Hank Gatthers, Wilt Chamberlan, Michale London, Jimmy Ray Vaughn, Rick James, Ole Dirty Bastard, Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls, Big Pun, Scott La Roc, Jam Master J, Gerald Levert, Christopher Reeves, News Journalist, Peter Jennings, Ray Charles, and my mother. That's right I said my mother. To me she was an angel also, plus she died when I was seven years old. Which is about 32 years ago.

I guess you can say that I have been watching alot of news, and keeping up with who died, and who didn't. It's not that. It's just like I said earlier, it's hard not to hear the latest news on your favorite angel, star, or hero of choice. There was one particular death in the sports industry that brought tears to my eyes, and that was the death of Eddie Guerrero. Now, James Brown, and former President Gerald R. Ford, have passed since the Eve of Christmas, 2006. I hope all of those I've named, and I've missed, Rest In Peace. My heart goes out to all of their families. And to those whom I have missed I am very sorry. My condolences goes out to you, and yours. I will come back, and update this blog on a regular basis; If time permits. Meanwhile, be very, very careful, and may God Bless you all.
