Not to Cause Drama or Anything...
Seriously, I've been MIA lately but it seems like the board has been moving soooo slowly!! Where is everyone?
Maybe it's because I'm in a mood, but I want to start a debate or a discussion... so this is what has been on my mind today:
Is anyone else sick and tired of hearing about Whitney Houston? I find it kind of ridiculous that they are considering her death a tragedy. Don't get me wrong, it's sad that she died at such a young age, but by the look of it, it was self inflicted. In my opinion, a tragedy is a car accident victim, someone who has died of cancer or some other disease. The death of someone who overdosed on a drug that they knew was harmful, to me is not a tragedy, at least not to the extent that the media is making it. Thoughts? Confessions? UOs?
Re: Not to Cause Drama or Anything...
Not nice... I was hoping this was going to be something juicy :-P
I'm sick of it. I don't follow 98% of what goes on in Hollywood and the fact the all 2% is now taken up by WH doesn't make me thrilled. So no argument from me.
I've been MIA too b/c D has been sick... but I've never been a super active poster.
I understand and feel both ways about her death. On one hand, she had tons of issues and I'm sure we'll find out in the near future that drugs were related in some way to her death. Whether she purposefully overdosed, accidentally overdosed, or was just high and fell asleep in the bathtub, none of those would be surprising.
On the other hand, though, she truly was one of the most amazing singers to ever come along. Voices as big and powerful as hers simply do not come along every day or year or, hell, even decade. There are very few female powerhouse singers out there, and she was the best of them all. It's a sad day when the world loses someone as talented as that.
Haha... I've been MIA because of work. It's seriously been nuts trying to get ready for our annual board meting with all my new responsibilities.
As for the Whitney thing, I sorta felt like it was the same old story. Famous person found dead in hotel room... Hm, I think I've heard that one before. I'm sure that sounds very callous, but I do feel bad for her family and for her death.
