Weekly Analysis 1

The deaths of some of the most popular icons in America (some worldwide) made me start to think about how life comes and goes so randomly. I was watching the news when I heard about Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcet and even the pitch man Billy Mays, all within a few days of each other. It sadden me simply because I grew up watching two of the three on TV, then watching the other on late night infomercials for various products. I felt as if a piece of my childhood had left. Those icons are not the only deaths in recent years that made me feel that way, either.
I decided to dedicate this weekly analysis to those childhood icons lost along the way, people that I know some of you grew up with just like I did. I usually end up contemplating how unfair life really is at times, taking some of the greatest people away from us. Just to name a few: Chris Farley, Bernie Mac, Sam Kinison and many others. May they rest in peace and continue on wherever they may be.
