DJ AM: ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Is it me or are people dropping like flies this year? It’s really weird. Of course, people die everyday all over the world but I don’t remember so many entertainers and public figures dying in one year. 2009 isn’t even over yet! Last night, I came home from a Jaime Foxx concert to find out that DJ AM was found dead in his New York apartment. Authorities found prescription drugs and a glass crack pipe next to him.

I think there are several lessons in all of this. The main lesson is that we should all make the absolute most of our lives. There are no excuses. Tomorrow isn’t promised. So, make sure you do all that you can do today. That includes spending time with family and friends, as well as getting (and staying) on your grind. If you have a dream, pursue it relentlessly. There’s no time for doubt. Release yourself from the shackles of fear and melancholy.

What do you think of so many entertainers passing away?
