Uptown Girls

Today, earlier this morning, the world lost someone significant. Someone that had plenty of fans, family surely spread out around the world, friends that were meaningful in her life.

Today, the world lost Brittany Murphy, actress and singer among many other 'normal' things.

I'm not sure why she sticks out to me, but she's been on my mind today - her life being quickly taken away for no real reason (not known at this point anyway). Someone, anyone's life being taken like that, is scary. None of us know when we are going to pass, whether with notice or not. We could each step out of the house tomorrow and not come back. We could have one year, thirty years - none of us know. I think that may be the scariest part. Not that we'd be ready if we knew anyway.

I've seen several of her movies - all that I'm a fan of. I believe I connected with one of her last movies, Uptown Girls - for reasons surely clear enough that I need not have to write about.
