Tragedy or Selfishness?
Talking about heath Ledger’s Death has been surprisingly difficult for me, and I’m not exactly sure why. You hear so much about celebrities and their drug problems that the shock value of it all has worn off. But for some reason to me Heath Ledger’s death left me stunned. Whether it was an accidental death or not, he still leaves behind a beautiful little girl.
Matilda Rose will grow up without ever knowing her father. He will exist only on the screen and from what she reads of him. In 10 years from now Matilda will be able to google her fathers name and see the drug tapes, the speculations, the E! true hollywood story and none of these things will answer why he couldn’t stay alive for her. As I watched Heath Ledger at a “drug party” two years ago I wondered what I’m sure many people wondered. WHY?!?!?! Why sit there and talk about your little baby girl upstairs and how you shouldn’t be sitting there getting high, how your girlfriend is going to be pissed- and yet HE SAT THERE AND DID NOTHING. He didn’t just ruin his own life. He wasn’t just responsible for his own life, he was responsible for that little girl. By continuing his selfish lifestyle which lead to his death, he took away that little girls chance at an innocent childhood. Children shouldn’t have to learn what death is at 2 years old, it corrupts their innocence their little hearts are forever tainted. Why would any parent intentionally want that for their child?
Tomorrow never comes
“No I’ll do it tomorrow.”All of us are guilty in putting things off, a paper, a date, a talk, an appointment. Sometimes it’s putting something off that won’t matter in a year or so, and sometimes it’s putting something off that can put the rest of your life on hold. How much can you really live when your mind is preoccupied with things that you still have to do tomorrow?Tomorrow doesn’t actually exist, the only day we have ever lived is today. So why wait a moment to do or say the things that are on your mind now. Why have this selfish notion, this invincible attitude towards life to assume that you will have the time to do it later. People get caught up in the drama of their everyday life, and stressed by things that won’t matter tomorrow, or the day after. If you love someone, you tell them regardless of their reaction. The one thing I have learned about life is that it’s temporary. You can’t live life standing on a ledge, gripping the railing till your knuckles go white; you have to jump into every moment and live it like your last… because in the end there are no more tomorrows.
Thought of the day
There is a place that many of us have tried to forget. A war rages on and our news is litered with the face of a fallen pop star.
One woman’s life is the center of so much attention, when thousands of innocent people are dying everyday in the arms of strangers. Our headlines are drenched with the celebrity gossip that is nothing more then a distraction from the fact that innocent blood is being spilled. Mothers craddle their dead children after a bomb goes off and we change the channel because we would rather see if Britney spears has tucked her children in tonight. Why doesn’t the hearts of our society bleed at the images of terror shown when guns go off in a crowd. The people dying are still PEOPLE like you and I. So why are their lives weighted so differently from our own?

First Thought Of The Day
Hopefully something remarkable will come out of this, but who knows…
So for my blog, I’m not going to be focusing on only one topic. My blogs will be titled “thought of the day” and topics will change according to the day I’m having… or the night I had before lol So here goes my very first blog!
Thought of the day:
What is the world coming to that in today’s society a conversation on the phone or over coffee is virtually impossible. With msn and text’s running the world, we might as well exercise our thumbs instead of our mouths. Is this blog online the only way that you can reach people? Through a disconnected world where you stare at a screen, and read what I write instead of stare into my eyes and make an actual physical connection? Why are people so afraid of confrontation with another human being. The technology that makes it possible for one single person speak to millions all over the world, is the same that stops that one person from making that one other connection with just one single other person.
