rest in peace.

The first celebrity death of 2010 occured today. The body of Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson was found unresponsive in her home early this morning. She was only thirty years old and leaves behind an adopted daugher named Ava, not to mention her fiancee, Tila Tequila. She had also just left a rehabilitation center, where she was trying to stop her excessive drug use.

Casey may not have been a big name, and she may have had her troubles (drug use and the aforementioned rehab, public feuds with former girlfriends) but her death is still sad nonetheless. At thirty years old, she had so much more to live for: her daughter, her fiancee, bettering her life and straying away from drugs. My heart goes out to Tila, Ava and Casey's entire network of friends and family. May she rest in peace.

So it begins, 2010. What other tragic deaths shall you bring us? 2009 is known by myself and my friends as the most morbid year of the decade, and I had prayed for 2010 to be better. So far, I do not think that's working.
