    And the funny thing is that both Mays and Jackson died at 50 years old. Kinda wierd isn't it?

    Not to mention both s were so unexpected...

    Honestly, I've seen Billy Mays' informercials many times, showing products like the Hercules Hook, Mighty Putty, Fix It Scratch Remover, etc., but despite having little interests in his products, I didn't see the news of his coming until when I got home.

    RIP Billy Mays.

    Needless to say that they are both big time losses. Billy Mays had a charisma and a charm that actually made you want to buy the product.

    I saw a few episodes of Pitchmen and I wasn't really interested in it, but hearing him curse in the show itself was pretty damn funny.

    Well in Chicago, a major news personality in John Calloway passed away inbetween Ed McMahon and Farrah/Micheal, so that's one extra loss to that area.

    And truth be told, there are reports surfacing that Walter Cronkite is terminally ill and is not expected to last much longer either...

    ...Is it officially time to say "This is getting spooky..." yet?

    This month has been somewhat personal for me, not important in a world wide sense but certainly important to me. My aunt passed away about a week ago. As a whole 2009 is turning out to be a rather sad year for my family.

    Both my uncle and my aunt pass away in the same year.
