So how could I not comment on this

Two celebrities passed away.  Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.  Of the 2, both are memorable but Michael definitely was part of my adolescence.

I do have to say that his best album was the one with Billie Jean.  Billy Jean?  Whatever the spelling, it was a great album and great song.

He passed away young, 50 is not old at all.  Farrah, on the other hand had cancer and so I think folks knew it might not be a good prognosis.  It’s altogether peripheral, in terms of how it affects your life.  At least for me.  I don’t know these folks personally but I know of them.  No matter what and how they pass, it is still a life passing.  They touched alot of lives.

What would people say about me if I passed away.  It makes you pause and think and maybe it’ll make us live our lives a bit richer and better, more helpful to other’s, more meaningful and right.  Perhaps.  We get caught up, so frequently in the mundane day in and day out stuff, petty things, unimportant items assigned huge importance and so they compete for our attention and thoughts.  I guess if we knew time was super short, how quickly and how differently would our priorities be?  I wonder…
