So I like to think I read the news more often than most people my age. I like to catch anything I can, mainly to make fun and jokes because that the only thing I can do, but there is a trend I have been seeing for a while now and it's time I voice my opinions.
The Death of Whitney Houston
So was anyone else aware that a 24 year old US soldier was killed by a roadside bomb sometime last week? I can't find out his name, where he was from, what exactly happened, but I can sure as shit find out every little detail of Whitneys death, even the scent of the bathtub water she took her fatal plunge into. Does anyone else find this horrific? Yes she was icon, a legend and though I wasn't really a fan, I acknowledge that talent of her calibur is very rare, but what happened in the end? She did drugs, which ruined her voice, and then she butchered a performance on a today show and it went downhill from there. If there was some freak accident that caused her to lose her voice then I'd be more come passionate for her depressions, but there is no excuse for someone who's very name will live on forever to become depressed over losing her gift because of her own fault. Now I am not judging her for having problems, being that famous is by no means easy, but it is also by no means private. Where was her family, friends, even the people who are around her everyday of her life? It was obvious she had a problem, and no one called her out on it? If I were a true fan I'd write to her if I was worried she was hurting herself. I read that she had a reality show recently that showed she was obviously abusing substances? I never watched or heard of it so I can't be sure about that. To all the people who watched that show though, I agree with Titus, you were all enablers. It's just like with Charlie Sheen. The minute we should worry about this guy who's obviously not just gone over the edge, but cleared it with a pole vault, we start cheering him on and even the crazy shit he says becomes slogans. Now we as this fucked up over privelaged country pay all the attention to someone who pretty much killed themselves, instead of the people dying every day so we can sit on our fat lazy asses and watch extreme couponing. Segway
Retarded reality
Yes extreme couponing and extreme clutter are two of the most popular tv shows on right now. What the fuck is wrong with us people that this is what entertains us, and don't get me started on Jersey Shore. As far as I am concerned that whole cast is such a waste of life that they need to figure their afterlives out, because heaven, hell, and purgatory are all shouting right now they want nothing to do with these people. It's sickening that we are entertaining ourselves with the outbursts of fallen celebs. These people need help like any other person and this is what happens.
The higher the climb...~
It truly is a long way to the top, and it's a much harsher fall for a person who has never seen the bottom to begin with. These famous people drowning their "sorrows" with drugs and alchohol do not know the meaning of the word "struggle" and no I am not jealous. I pray to and thank God everyday for where I am right now because I know in my heart that if I would have shot straight to the top, I wouldn't have God to thank for that. I probably wouldn't even acknowledge his existence so I am thankful for the struggles I have gone through because with the faith I have in him, nothing seems impossible and no matter how high I climb, I will never fear the fall, because I'll be caught, one way or another. RIP Whitney Houston, but you took the easy way out, and for that, there is no excuse. You will be sorely missed and you have left holes in alot of hearts
