Līve Ambitions

Lately, there’s been more celebrity deaths than usual.  Although its sad when anyone passes away, I was shocked when I heard about the deaths of Michael Jackson and Billy Mays - mainly because they were still fairly young and I assumed they didn’t have any health issues.

R.I.P Michael Jackson.  I was affected by this one the most because I grew up listening to Michael Jackson.  He was truly a unique artist, with an unmatched talent.  He was such a huge superstar that he almost seemed immortal – like he wasn’t human.  I feel so bad that he had to face so many hardships during his last years.  He gave so much to the world, and the world gave him nothing but drama.

R.I.P Farrah Fawcet.  To be honest, I wasn’t too familiar with Farrah Fawcet until I heard of her death.  I saw snippets of news regarding her battle with cancer and I knew she was a Charlie’s Angel, but I never watched that show before.  You could say her popularity was before my time.  Regardless, may her soul rest in peace.

R.I.P Billy Mays.  I had to do a double-take when I first saw the article on Yahoo, saying that Billy Mays was dead.  I wrote a post not too long ago regarding his new show on the Discovery channel called Pitchmen.  From what I saw, he looked like a good family man with a passion for what he did.

R.I.P Ed McMahon.  I guess this news wasn’t as shocking to many because he was 86 years when he passed.  In my opinion, if you can make it to age 86, then you’ve lived a long fulfilling life.  Still, I do remember watching him on the Johnny Carson show when I was a kid.

God Bless to all that passed, and may he console the families and friends of those who passed.
