Thousands of people die everyday and yet we as a group only seen to care about the famous ones, why is that?

Doesn’t the poor old lady across the street that died alone deserve our compassion and companionship?

Doesn’t the unknown Joe or Jane Doe that was murdered last night deserve our sympathy?

Every time that there is such a big deal about the death of a celebrity I think, doesn’t anyone else see what is wrong with that way of thinking?

When a celebrity dies to me it’s no different than when a stranger dies, after all, why should the life of a celebrity have more worth than the life of a homeless person that died and no one noticed.

Perhaps it is just the way I think, either way when you send that prayer or shed that tear for Michael Jackson, please don’t forget the thousands even the millions that perished without a consoling friend or family member by their side, after all they too are/were our family.

If you really want to express your condolence perhaps visit your local hospital or hospice and spend some time comforting someone that is about to embark on this unknown trip called death.

Perhaps one day we will evolve to see death as a simple transition, like a long trip to a far way place, a place far more interesting than here.

Are you a twitter addict? If you do or know any of the following below you are an addict and tweetvention may not help you at this point.

• You purchase your wife an iphone so she can keep in touch and know what you are up to.
• You use any of the following 3 or more times a day; tweet; twit; twitter or any word having a twtr in any order.
• You wake up in the morning and before going to the bathroom, having breakfast, kissing wife/kids you say good morning to your tweeps.
• if you have more than 1000 followers or are following more than 500.
• If you like myself dream with bit.ly, tinyurl, ping.fm, tinypic and tinychat, in fact if you know what all of those things are, you are past the point of no return.
• If you check your twitter stats more than once a week. (If you check it everyday, seek immediate help.)
• If you can’t help but wonder what is twitter.com business plan or model.
• If you blog about twitter like I am doing now you are probably a goner as well.

So you must be asking yourself what do I do now if I can’t be saved, I’ll let you know.

If fact you have very few options, here they are;

1. Run naked in the street asking for mental help and maybe will get locked away in a facility with no internet connection, however watch for wifi and 3G networks they are creeping up everywhere, like the Verizon dude says “we have 3G there.”.
2. Call your representative and complain about the health dangers of twitter.
3. Call twitter and ask them for the phone numbers of the psychologist they consulted with when creating the service, maybe they will have the cure but they most likely will not give it to you.
4. Call the pentagon and see if they have the cure, again they may not help you unless a twitter zombie infestation is imminent and likely to occur.
5. Other than that just hope that your brain will be full of useful and useless information and you will eventually leave your room again, but remember start slow, sunlight can actually hurt your eyes once you been away from it for so long. (And no, spending time in front of the monitor does not equals time in the sun or outside.)

Hopefully this post help you in some way if nothing else a little bit.ly laugh.
