There has been every possible general chat on this board, lemme give u more to chat about.
As u might all know, is that Aaliyah, R&B singer/actress, died sometime yesterday in a plane crash (which adds another reason to my list of "Why I Won't Fly In A Plane") at the age of 22. I first heard the news after watching the Red Sox get beat in 18 innings. What are your thoughts on her death? Below is what i posted at MTV.com. It applies everywhere.
Aaliyah will be remembered whether or not u were a fan, heard a song by her, or watched her movies. :'(
I couldn't believe it. There I was just finishing off the scorecard to another long 18 inning game, red sox vs. rangers. The game ended and there I was sitting putting the final touchs on my scorecard, back and forth, when the TV switched over to the local news. First, Powerball results, then the shocking news. "R&B singer and actress, Aaliyah, has died tonight in a plane crash." My jaw dropped after hearing this news, and I was stunned. This world is short for some of us, and some has the benefit of living our lifes to the fullest. Aaliyah wasn't that lucky to continue on her career, which was going so well. I was not really a "fan" of her work, but did appreciate listening to it. I am one of people who will listen to anything on the radio, Aaliyah included. It is hard to lose someone so young, but life goes on, and you live everyday as if it were your last. I am also not the one to write so "openly" or "emotionly", but as I write this, I feel both. Even though I did not know her, nor knew how good her career was going, I feel for her family, and all of those who loved her so much. I do know, however, what it feels like to lose a family member, as my Grandfather died 2 years ago, on my sister's birthday. To all who loved her, i'm sorry for your loss.
