Have You Ever Wished You Were A Shooting Star, Or Maybe Just Wanted To Be A Star Of Any Kind?

"http://www.youtube.com/embed/DJuDw6PHy1M?rel=0" Everyone knows what a shooting star is, don’t they? Maybe by strict definition they do, but then there are also the kind that shines in our night sky of life, and then burn out. Yesterday we lost another super-star, and maybe some would argue that point, but this is my story, so we will ignore that for the time being. Yesterday, Whitney Houston passed away and who knows how, but that shouldn’t matter. She was a wonderful artist, a great singer and song writer, and talented performer. She had a major effect on the music industry and left a wonderful legacy with her music.

Too Many Shooting Stars Have Passed Through The Sky

We have had too many shooting stars pass through our night and burn out way too fast. Great performers all, most went by at a young age, and burned out long before their time. Talented people like Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Heath Ledger, Brittany Murphy, just to name a few. How tragic that we lose such wonderful people at such a young age, just as they were hitting their prime. I wish there was a logical reason why these things happen, but whether by divine intervention or some other cosmic reason, it leaves us just a little bit poorer for not having them around.

Time Passes And So Do Shooting Stars

As far as a shooting star goes, they seem to come and go much too quickly, some just a brief flash in the sky. And when it comes to time, that is one thing that no one can hang onto, or slow down. The old saying “that time waits for no one” is the one constant truth in this world, and the one thing you cannot cheat with and win. I loved the music that Whitney left behind, regardless of how she lived her life or what she went through. It makes it nonetheless tragic, and families will grieve for her, much like anyone else’s passing. So let us all look to the better side for a bit, and stay the negativity that the media loves so much during these times. After a moment of silence for all that have left us much too early, enjoy these tributes http://www.youtube.com/embed/UxK1kS_-HA4?rel=0" to Whitney Houston, and remember the better times.
