Two Golden Girls left

Just wanted to highlight that while we are talking about tragic celebrity deaths, there are only two Golden Girls left! I'm a big fan of the Golden Girls, I like qite a few eighties american comadies but the Golden Girls has always been my favourite.

I suppose the modern ones are ok, like Two and a Half Men, I mean my inspiration is still mainly from nineties british comedies such as Spaced and Black Books, the Golden Girls will always have a special place in my heart, as will Estelle Getty, Bea Arthur, Betty White and Rue McClanahan. Estelle Getty (Sophia) died in July 2008 of natural causes, just three days before her eighty fith birthday. Beatrice Arthur (Dorothy) died earlier this year at aged 86, she is a major loss to those campaigning for LGBT rights, and rights for the Elderly.

People may call me a sentimental fool but every time someone who has inspired me passes away its like I lose a part of my past, luckily Rue McClenehen (Blanch) and Betty White (Rose) are still alive and acting.

Life without Michael Jackson?

Well, this is certainly going to be rather odd. Michael Jackson is dead? I suppose you don't really appreciate things until they are no longer there, I have to say though, my life without the enrichment of MJ (my pet name for him, we were close you see) doesn't seem all to different than when he was alive.

It seriously doesn't take much to work the world up into a frenzy does it, I hope the world will be as shocked when I die of a heart attack at the age of fifty (man I'd better start smoking, the rate I'm going I could live to be a hundred!)

Oh yeah, the blog is back, sort of. It'll stay here until I get some new web space, I have very few creative outlets besides drawing, painting, my comics, my music, my photography and my writing, so I decided the blog was something I wasn't prepared to do without. Naturally having no money will put a major crimp in my plans, so until I get my student loans or win the lottery (which would be strange considering I don't play it,) this blog will have to do.

But just 'cause its free doesn't make it any less special right?..

...RIGHT!?
