Another life lost to drugs or so that seems to be what insiders are saying.  The world was shocked yet again today when learning actress Brittany Murphy had passed away. The reason? Cardiac arrest aka possible drug use. Perez Hilton actually predicted Brittany Murphy’s death to a local radio DJ here in San Diego while talking about Michael Jackson’s death being the biggest story of the year 2009. Radio host AJ Machado asks Perez Hilton if there is a celebrity that he thinks is heading in the same path as Michael Jackson… his reply?

Brittany Murphy.

Murphy has been accused of having an eating disorder earlier in her career which some believed was tied to a cocaine habit. The Los Angeles City Fire Department confirmed that a 911 call was made at 8 a.m. from Murphy’s West Hollywood home, according to several reports. Murphy’s mom found her unconscious in the shower. She was pronounced dead upon arrival at Cedars Sinai Medical Center. What is weird about the whole thing is her husband does not want an autopsy performed. Interesting.

It really is crazy how scary drugs are and how people fail to realize the damage they posses, I have no desire to even experiment with them. Hello, there is a reason they’re illegal, because they take over your entire being without you even knowing it or wanting them to. Maybe you’re one of the few who can handle doing drugs on occasion, but maybe you’re the person they will control forever, ultimately leaving you dead in your shower? For me it’s just not worth the risk.

I guess it is hard realizing something of this nature while struggling with an addiction. Anyway…we all know how I feel about drugs so I’ll wrap this one up…

Today’s sappy Sunday? The obvious… take someone else’s mistake and learn from it.

“It’s said that a fool learns from their own mistakes, a wise man from the mistakes of others.”

Take a second not only to appreciate what you have but to realize how fast life can be taken from you. If you are fighting with someone, headed down a path you might not want to be headed, involved with a bad crowd, know someone struggling with addiction… you have the ability to change it all or at least give it your best try to while you still can. A second chance is never promised.

Also think about all the drama she endured with that husband of hers, all the petty fights… looking back, they were all so tiny in the overall perspective, pick and choose your battles. I see so many people wasting time fighting over the stupidest stuff. Even that NFL player who just died fighting with his fiance over wedding costs. She has to live with that guilt for the rest of her life. Love & forgive everyone, there is just absolutely no reason not to. One day we will all be gone, lets make the best of our time here together
