Me, Her, the Boy and a Dog

Perhaps I am too old to know who he was, but I find that hard to believe since he’s older than me. Check that - he WAS older than me. I was just doing my nightly Google News scan and saw a headline that DJ AM was found dead in his New York apartment. OK. And?

I mean, it’s tragic that someone lost their life, but who was he? I’ve never heard of him and I’m not that out of touch with reality. And it appears that he overdosed on drugs. *Yawn* Another “famous” person dies from an overdose and it’s called “tragic.” Uh. No. The two Virginia Tech students shot to death by an unknown gunman is tragic. Dying from a drug overdose is stupid.

I’ve gone my whole life without even a puff of a blunt. Not one ounce of illegal drugs have ever entered my system and contrary to what you read in the papers about how prevelant it is - I never ONCE saw a drug deal go down or knew of anyone that carried drugs - even through college. I guess it’s because I kept better company and made better friends.

I’m sorry to hear this guy DJ AM is dead. I feel for his family. But it is not tragic. If what the police are saying is true, then he did it to himself. Meh.
