This isn't the best weekend in the world's history.  What the hell is going on?  A right-wing extremist killed over 80 Norwegian youths today in the name of Christianity.  Death and destruction in the name of ideology.

Then Amy Winehouse.
Obviously, a troubled soul, with an amazing, breathtaking talent.  But how do you harness creativity?  Is it any wonder that so many talented musicians die in their late 20s?  I think that it's hard enough to exist on a daily matter if you are mildly creative.. if you have artistic tendencies and beliefs that break the norm. 
Now, imagine that 100 fold!  Having words and music and melodies in your head at all times... and then you're famous, and everyone wants a piece of you.  I can imagine that sometimes, you just want silence, and peace.  Sadly enough, it's too easy to make your life stop.

So I hope we all appreciate our loved ones, and life, every day.  Not just today.  I'm sorry I never got to see Amy Winehouse perform live!  Just as I never saw Johnny Cash.
But hey- maybe one day, I will.

Check out Amy Winehouse live... raw, beautiful talent.
