Dear God: You have gone too far.

David Carradine died because of his own stupidity. One of the best way to tarnish your status as a legend and martial arts icon is to die of autoerotic asphyxiation. The loss of Bill is sad, but ultimately brought on by his own doing.



Ed Mcmahon lived a full life. At the ripe age of 82, it was finally time to say goodbye to another legend. This came as little surprise.

Farrah Fawcett was fighting cancer for a while, and yet she died so young. When you are battling against cancer - its not a matter of if, but when. There was no surprise here.

Michael Jackson - wtf? holy crap - this is starting to really suck. This is not just another legend. this is THE legend. the one who I looked up to as a kid. The one who taught me the moonwalk. The one who taught me to grab my crotch and scream. The life of Michael Jackson turned out to be a sad one in the end - but his music is so iconic, so timeless, that not even the worst offenses have taken him off his throne as King. Its sad, but Michael was no longer making music, he was sick and fraile, and the only time that we heard his name was for weird public stunts or child molestation charges. Now that hes dead, we only hear about his music, and thats how I like it. Because thats how he should be remembered. So sadly, in death - it may have been the best thing to happen to Michaels legacy. But only time will tell.

Where am I going with all this you might ask? Well if youve followed this entry this long, you have finally gotten to the point of this rant. All of the people above were legends in thier own right, and died by either natural causes or pure destiny. God had a plan for all these people. God had a plan until Sunday, when God fell asleep at the wheel.
This is my question:

WHAT DID BILLY MAYS DO TO DESERVE THIS?!

Yes thats right. Im pissed.
David - for shame
Ed and Farrah - it was your time
Michael - your music will live forever
BILLY?!?!?!?!!

Why God? did you think I wasnt up at 4am on a Tuesday trying to decide between Oxi Clean and Mighty Putty?! Billy was the one that fixed that July 4th vomit stain on my carpet. Billy put that new handle on my favorite coffee mug. He gave me that Hercules Hook so i could hang a 400lb deer carcas in my living room. Dont even get me started on Kaboom, or even the Steam Buddy.

How dare you take this man from us, God. He was at his peak, and you killed him in the most asinine way possible. Seriously - your gonna take out a "As Seen on TV" legend with...luggage?
Fuck that. Billy deserved better.
and after weeks of dying legends, I have finally had enough.

Taking Billy was immature and irresponsible. God, Youve gone too far.
