tortured souls.


so i promise not to do this too often. i know it's a crappy way to start the morning. but maybe it'll actually help us all appreciate the day just a bit more. so i hit the wire again this morning to check what was going on in the world and found out that alexander mcqueen, the british fashion designer, was found dead in his house this morning. cops are calling it a suicide for now. i can't say that mcqueen's stuff was exactly my style, but there is no denying that homeboy was a beast in the game.

i often hear people talk about what a waste it is for someone to take their own life, and when it's a rich celebrity you inevitably get the comments about how the common man would never throw it all away like that. i submit this, you never know what's going on in a person's mind. and one fact that i find to be undeniably true is that the most talented people in this world often have the most persuasive demons. however it shakes out, i hope alex has found some peace today, and that we all may cherish this day that much more.
