Daze of the Dead

Today, The Star is running a really morbid piece about dead people. Since death is probably the primary topic on the mind of their elderly subscriber base I guess it's just good business. But the thing reads like a very sappy obituary . . . on the front page no less . . . at least The Star is starting to get realistic about the reasons most people read their rag.

It's touching that they added some minority stories to the list since very often The Star only portrays the darkies in this town as the perpetrators of violence and death.

Anyway, if you weren't bummed out today . . . pick up a copy of The Star and commiserate with them as they ring the death bell for the people of this town and their ad revenues. Additionally, the article reminded me of that shitty Boyz II Men song "It's so hard to say goodbye" that was really popular when I was in High School. I once had a bad dream that I was mistakenly put in "white people Heaven" and all of the celebrities mentioned in that song were there as well. They made me fix them tacos before they eventually "deported" me.
