The Oxi Clean guy died.

No it is ok, my last response on that was already made.

Reading more on Billy Mays;

It's crazy that he died the day after a plane accident where the tires blew out. He must have hit his head pretty hard. I can only imagine the shock his family received when the day after something like the tires on your plane blow out- you die.

It's a crazy world.

 

i guess plane dont have air bags....do they?

 

It must have been very sudden...

 

Nope no airbags on planes. Just seat belts and oxygen masks to get you high so you don't jump up running in circles panicking. lol

From my understanding something fell and hit him on the head during the rough landing. It must have had a great force to cause such a trauma.

I know in one my previous flights, I have seen something similar happen when luggage was flying everywhere.

 

Mustn't have been agile enough to dodge that something...

 

"Todd also said Billy told him he "hit his head on the overhead luggage compartment" when the US Airways airplane blew its front tires while landing in Tampa yesterday."

 

internal injury, the silent killer....

 

You never know when death is coming for you I guess.

 

maybe tomorrow its my time.

 

Definately not mine. I will live forever..





..till I die lol

 

but i bet its better if we dont know when its our time rather then we do....

 

...If you have kids, made something that will always help humanity, or just made someone's life special, you can live for ever...


Likewise, if someone taped you and uploaded it to youtube, strong possibility that you can live forever...


Calvin_0, I noticed you've become numb to the whole death process, not to sure, but if someone you cared about alot, like someone you love, would that bother you at all, or would you move on and get another to fill the void...

I'm just curious, nothing personal-Until I experienced true lose I thought much the same, I lost my first real pet because I never cared for it, i lost my best friend because of my anger, and I don't even want to mention the THOUSANDS of people who I made every effort to detach myself from...


These people obviously don't love the guy who died, but remember him well, some might be sad, other's will mourn and celebrate the life he led, but prehaps, your perspective may change when you experience a heavy loss...


However, I do know some losses that have made people numb, rather than cherish life...


BACK TO THE SUBJECT-Celebs don't live to long it seems, prehaps being famous puts alot of strain on these poor souls, if they live past 80, they must have loved the attention, if not, that sam attention that they once strived for must have destroyed them...


But as for this guy's death, it was timming I believe, after all, no one lived forever, and this certainly the month where celebs just drop off and die, otherwise they cover that up with some BS like "new deadly flu-CELEB FLU!" or something like that...




As for my time, I will not wait for death, it will come when it's ready, for right now I have nothing to gain, nothing to lose or hurt, I will not rush the process, but rather just sit and wait, not many will mourn for me, those who do only know the old me, the current me shall be forgotten without a trace, if I knew when my death shall come, I will prehaps step out of my shell and venture, otherwise I'd continue on until the day comes...prehaps tommoro driving to work, maybe the next day on site, prehaps next week due to a domestic despute, prehaps in 4 weeks time if I'm laid off for being to slow in my new job (and get a stroke out of sheer shock), who knows when out times shall come...



Let's just hope that science, for once, does NOT try to unravel this mystery...

 

well my grandma die, and i love my grandma, but i dont feel a thing when she died..... maybe because i know everyone dies someday. The last time i feel sad about dead is when my cat (Luna) dies and that is when i'm still 10 years old. i remember i cry the whole day and cant be happy for whole month....come to think about it, maybe that event make me imune.

 

Prehaps-sorry to hear, I know I would cry if my nan died-even though unlike now, she was a big part of my life, kind, forgiving, and not soo judgmental unlike my immediete parents...


Sounds like your cat meant alot to you, to cause such an event, the first time I cried over anything other than my own woes is when my dog died, I can never forgive the person walking my hyper dog-but I knew deep down, I should have made an effort to walk him myself, lucky to see the poor guy every 2 weeks, and he was right next door...


*But don't let the numbness cloud your judgment-think from other's point of view-I work in retail, and am forced to smile, be friendly, when I'm not, so I think how they would, and react accodingly...thinking like that has also kept my remaining friends from turning on me.


*Which explains why I snap back when they call me names just because I'm dealing with such lousy co-workers/equipement (insert mega angry face here)....

 

@mds64 nicely put & lol@deadly celeb-flu

@calvin_0 sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you can find it in you to cherish life, even when it has it's shortcomings. I remember when I first lost a family member, my Grandfather. I was very young, and he died in my Mother's arms while we waited for the ambulance. It took me a long time to move on, and desensitized me from death for a long time. Many years later my Grandmother passed, and I remember struggling with my emotions. Anyways, sorry for partially flaming you, and sorry for you loss. I hope you can learn to cope with death better in the future.

Regardless of who has died, death can be a very sad thing for most people. For some it hurts to lose the ones we love, respect, or idolize. It also hurts those mourning when someone makes a mockery of their dying. Let us not mock those who have lost their lives, but let us celebrate the positive impact they have made on our lives, even if that impact is something small in our daily lives.

But of course, some people shall be happy, no matter who die's, someone shall be happy, other's shall mourn...


(crowds congratulates me for destroying one of the most powerful game maker, thus freeing the world of crappy sport games made by the millions with only slight changes...)



To acknowledge death as a normal part is one thing, to embrace/ignore is another, a scary fact that "hoon" drivers tend to follow...



The guy who made the gameboy/metroid died like that...sad



I wonder, who's next on the list-and will Australia go crazy if another aussie celeb died-who knows...
