Death Becoming/ Death Be Comin'



Do you want to hear my Heath Ledger conspiracy theory? Do you? Okay, let's just call it the begining of the end hypothesis. Or let's call it the Freddie Mercury Phenomenon. Here it comes: One big, shiny star falls under mysterious circumstances. Something is wrong with his body. Something that might have been porevented. Something that looks a little like this and a little like that, but just can't be determined wholly quite yet. It wasn't a drug overdose? It wasn't scuicide? It wasn't toxicty at all? Was it the pneumonia? It was the pneumonia for Christian Brando. But....? How could a young heart fail in it's dream soaked sleep? ........

Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Ledger is the first major celebrity to die of an unknown, undiscovered, incurable disease coming on the scene now much like the HIV virus in the early eighties.

Been feeling sick lately? Yea, so have I. So has everyone. Superbugs, chemical warfare, mutating cancers? Who knows what's going on, but I'm going to put this out there now so that, when the time comes, I can say, 'Yea, that's what I fucking thought.'

I mean, what the hell is happening? Why are our bodies failing us at younger and younger ages? Why are our bodies turning against us? Lifestyle? Modernity? Get those stem cells cooking please. So many untimely deaths, so many shocking tragedies. It's almost not shocking anymore.

Why would a 28 year old have a heart attack? You may say the druges, lack of sleep, pneumonia. Pneumonia? Really? Eighty year olds and small third world babies die of pneumonia. I'm telling you people..... We're being stalked by the next big epidemic, and it's breathing on the back of our necks. But, in the words of LeVar Burton, don't take MY word for it.... Go google it. I'm at work, so don't expect any fancy rabbit holes from me today. Go find it yourself, please, thank you.

I WILL give you this link, however, to a Celebrity Unusual Deaths page. Did you know that Tennessee Williams died by swallowing a cap that flew off his bottle of nasal spray? How poetic. And from this senselessness and patheticism, you can click on over to a related Celebrity Last Words page, Just go to Morbidtown on the Moribund Express, right? Face that ultimate fear! That's what I'm doing today.

The morning after Heath Ledger died, my first words were, "This is the first day that Heath Ledger does not exist," and my heart ached for his daughter, Matilda. I will think of them when I am in Brooklyn.

~I think what you have to say is right on~~~Although america is dieing a lot younger do to all the crap we eat and lack of activity we have~~~I mean crap like Hydrogenated Oils(which causes colon cancer) and High Fructose Corn Syrup (which reeks havoc on you immune system) are it just about everything we eat~~~You know why the food companies support and donate to breast cancer and other such things?~~~Because they are the ones causing so much of the cancer~~~I mean look back to just 50 years ago, yeah there was cancer, but it was not for some unknown cause, it was do to exposure to some sort or harsh chemical or lack of nutrition, not from something we were eating~~~Anyway I will leave it at that~~~Thanks for posting what you did and have a great life!~
