Heath Ledger? Tim Russert? George Carlin? Tony Snow? Estelle Geddes? Bo Diddley? Sydney Pollack? Charlton Heston? Bobby Fischer? Evel Kneivel? Robert Goulet? Pavarotti? Merv Griffin?
And Now Bernie Mac?
What is up with the last 365 days? Maybe its just a bum year, but these were folks I kind of followed at one point or another.
(Not to mention the losses of people I cared about, knew, a Matriarch in my family, beloved members of others families.. people who touched my life personally as well – but, I mean, look at that list – and that doesn’t even include Bhutto, Hinkley, or other niche celebs)
Are you F****ing Kidding me?
Isaac Hayes?
This is nuts.

Isaac Hayes dead at 65
I was reading another blog when I found posting that Isaac Hayes is dead. They did not have anything to back this up, but I found this Isaac Hayes .
Nobody
This makes me glad I’m a total nobody.
If there weren’t any coincidences, that would be one gigantic coincidence.

Interview…
They interviewed me on Faux 13 News this morning. Some guy named “Big Buddha”. Anyway, I was flying my plane around and he kept asking questions about it:
“How low can the plane fly?” “Low enough to crash.”
“How long have you had this plane?” “My wife bought it for me for Christmas last year.” “Really? What did you get her?” “Uhh… I really don’t remember.”
Time for me to pick out my headstone!

Astrological significance
I’m almost inclined to believe in astrology and that this is just a ‘bad year.’ Not just based on celebrity deaths, but on the number of major terrible things that have happened to my friends.
Truthfully, just about every single person I know has had at least one horrible event happen to them. I have friends getting cancer, lupus, HPV, and pulmonary embolisms, to gain a few. Not to mention emotionally traumatic events.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m a firm believer in frequent acts of coincidence, and I’m fully aware that just about any time we think certain things are all happening at once so oh my God they’re linked, that’s just our mind making a pattern out of standard statistical probability.
But all that being said, it’s just been a rough year for folks.
