Morbid Curiosity
I don’t know if its from being sick and having my heart stop or whatever, but I am a death hag. During my trips to California, I go to the cemeteries and visit celebrity graves, which people think is really weird and dark, but whatever. My thing is, my favorite actors and actresses are dead, so the only way I can “meet” them is to go to their final resting place. Perhaps I am weird, but I am not alone in this.
Here is the thing though, I may be morbid with the whole graveyard thing, but recently there has been one image that bugs me to the point where I have to turn my head away from the screen. The footage of Heath Ledger’s body in a body bag being wheeled out to the streets. It was such a tragic loss and he was so young, I just don’t need to see that. And when Ryan Seacrest was on tv talking about how Heath’s 2 year old daughter “doesn’t even know she will never see her father again.” Shut up Seacrest!
It was a tragic loss, and my heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. And to the media, stop playing that footage!
