My mother called me today while I was at work. She was at work herself,
but desperately needed to tell me Gregory
Peck died today.
I think she thought I would be upset.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all about "To Kill A Mockingbird" and I agree
that he was a talented actor.
But, it's not like I knew him personally.
I will say that he was fortunate in that he died of natural causes at
the age of 87.
85-year-old Cornelia Meyer had to have her wheel-chair-bound (or is it
'mobility-impared'?) husband of 63 years suffocate her with a pillow:
Conn. man admits suffocating sick wife An
89-year-old man who suffocated his ailing, 85-year-old wife in what he
said was an effort to end her misery pleaded guilty in Bridgeport, Conn.,
to manslaughter. Marris Meyer, who is in a wheelchair, received a
three-year suspended sentence. Meyer told police that Cornelia Meyer, his
wife of 63 years, had begged him to help end her pain. She died March 24.

The Hangover
When the room spins
When the room doesn't stop spinning
Hey, didn't I have, like, at least six unsmoked cigarettes in my case
just fifteen minutes ago?
Loosing the buzz and having to drink more
When the urge to shake my ass hits, and I'm no where near a (decent)
club
