have you ever noticed whenever the media reports a celebrity death they also suggest that a little piece of us should die along with them?

"The nation is in mourning today as news of george burns (is he dead??) bob hope, queen mother yada yada yada.. died peacefully in his sleep... here's a collection of sound bites from exposure seeking mini-celebs we have strung together in order to demonstrate how you (the public) should put your own problems aside for one second and contemplate the tragedy of others for once you selfish sonsofbitchsdhgdjgfhsfd;sl."

I don't know about you lot... So I'm speaking only for myself now. If you happen to share my opinion, then great, we'll get together and have a coffee (you pay) if you don't agree.... well.... you can go back to your gossip mags and daytime tv. So, I don't know about you dear reader but I have many more important things to occupy my time and more causes worthy of my sympathies. Sure, it's sad when somebody dies.... (Take a step back bush & blair I don't include you two in that) but it's far less sad when that person is of a good age, lived a movie star lifestyle and dies from self abuse (get your mind out the gutter will you...not that kind of self abuse you mucky little pup) whilst there are thousands of people dying everyday who don't have the same luxuries of weath, fame etc.

It's just another sympton of that human of condition I like to call 'empty life'

Do me a favour (if I haven't used them all up by now) the next time a 'famous' dies rather than locking yourself away to be sad, try to imagine you're George Bailey from it's a wonderful life and give a homless person some money/food, say hello to a stranger... call your mom, I don't know.. just do something unexpectedly nice for somebody. trust me brothers and sisters, you'll feel just as good as they will plus an angel will get his wings ;-)
