R.I.P (to someone other than Michael)
This is bothering me quite a bit and I need to vent. Why is it that all I have heard in the news today is something to do with Michael Jackson's one year anniversary of him passing, but yet I have heard nothing of Farrah's who died the exact same day. I am even more aggravated by the fact that while skimming through the channels tonight there was channel after channel of Michael Jackson based T.V shows on. Where are the Farrah Fawcett true stories? Where are her tributes? Where are the Charlie's Angels re-runs? Why is it that as a society we would rather remember someone who became a pop icon by grabbing his crotch, crazy antics (hanging a baby off of a balcony, child molestation charges, and making so called "jesus juice") then someone who was thought of as America's sweetheart at one point. Who's claim to fame was a television show, and her famous hair do. Maybe the fact I'm a victim of childhood molestation is why I despise M.J so much (yes, I know he was acquitted the second time, but it still makes me curious as to why he would settle for $22 mil if there had been no wrong doing on his part for the first count). Another thing that bugs me are all the reports of his drug use which is what lead to his eventual death. I'm sorry but if you choose to over use drugs then you choose the consequences. If I remember correctly Farrah died after a long, hard battle with CANCER... something she didn't choose...something she fought long and hard. She wanted to live, obviously if Michael did he would have made different choices. Now I know he made huge strides in pop music and even I'm a fan of thriller, however it is possible to like a song and not like the person who performs it. So since no one else seems to be saying Rest In Peace Farrah, I thought I would. To a woman who was a talented actress, and artist. May you be remembered on this day and every other day.
