Celebrity Death

Why I Don't Give A Shit

All day. Seriously. I just need a place to rant. How, all day, can the only topic of conversation amongst colleagues (and when I get home, on fucking Facebook be the death of someone who they didn't even know? And about whom the best you can say is "He was a somewhat fucked up individual".

Why are people so scared of the power of death? We all die. It's normal. It's not tragic. I care about the people I know who have died recently, their friends and family, and the people I know who lost somebody. I feel mildly saddened when an author dies because they won't be writing any more books (if I liked their books - some have lived too long already on that score).

And who came up with "Don't speak ill of the dead" and has anyone proceeded to discreetly kill them and speak ill of them.

And then people say that they died young. Young for someone with money living in a rich, Western country, yes. It doesn't seem to matter how many people who aren't famous die...
