We Don't Always Know How Blessed We Are

Peeped in on CortGee today and learned the unfortunate news that comedian extra-ordinaire: Rasheed has passed away ( I hope they keep his myspace page up which is where I linked his name to - it has his baby flix & then some). A THIRTY-SIX year OLD Brother suffered a HEART-attack! WTF?! I don't care WHAT he was or was NOT doing ... how U gonna suffer a Heart ATTACK at 36? Come ON FOLX - take HEED & take CARE! Prayers go out to Rasheed's Family. I just feel blessed that I actually experienced this Brother Live & in Person with Rob Stapleton at the Laugh Lounge when my Moma & Nephew came to NYC to visit me a couple of years ago! U know I like to show folx a good time! Enjoy this clip I found of him being interviewed:

Wow, that is so unfortunate. Sometimes you can be healthy and it happen to you. I think at the end of the day, when God says it's time, it's time you know?
My heart goes out to his family. I just heard that Pimp C was killed in his hotel room. My heart goes out to his family too and Kanye West during this time.

We must enjoy life and not sweat the small stuff.

Great post.

Drop by my spot.

That is a shame, 36! When I first heard he passed I thought "oh,oh..another artist gunned down". Then I heard, heart attack, and I thought how sad is it that the first thing I thought was violence. Sad.

Diva's Thoughts said...

Wow! This is really sad. :(

truly sad indeed - but I don't believe God is the author of death ... He loves us too much - but thats more of a reason to be thankful!

Kim - the holidays seem to increase deaths (or is it the increase in the impact?). yea, my heart goes out to all those who have lost someone recently.

David - I mean ... who would think HEART attack? sad indeed...

Diva - true...

Soumy - while death is part of the life cycle it does increase my appreciation for everyday above ground!

This is definitely an eye opener....
