Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

Stephen Covey, the author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, has died. The irony of it taking me eight days to write this is not lost, I assure you. Now I don't personally believe in self help books, I believe the only person they really help is the author, but to each their own. I'm sure Covey's up in heaven, giving seminars on eternal preparation to those confused about what to do forever. Stephen Richards Covey, dead at the age of 79.

Who solves the mystery when Matlock dies?

North Carolinian Andy Griffith has died.  Best known for the The Andy Griffith Show and Matlock, Griffith was also an accomplished comedian and singer.  Unfortunately, he went to a crap pot of a college, which just demonstrates that nobody is perfect.  My personal belief?  This has Ron Howard's dirty little fingerprints all over it, but only time will tell.  Andrew Samuel Griffith, dead at the age of 86.  Read more HERE.

Burying Bradbury

Ray Bradbury has died.  Or has he?  Known for books such as Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes, Bradbury often credited his love of writing to an experience at a traveling carnival as a young child where he was commanded to "Live forever".  Thank God the guy didn't tell him to flip burgers or tickle strangers.  Now I'm not a big reader... big shocker there, but I like a good personality and that's definitely Bradbury.  Ray Douglas Bradbury, dead at the age of 91.  Read more HERE.

Name a former actor turned gameshow host who kissed every female alive in the late 70s and early 80s.



Oh Richard Dawson, what didn't you do?  You owned Hogan's Heroes, balanced out Charles Nelson Reilly, rocked the 3 piece suit, helped families battle, making movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger... the list is endless.  And I'm sure by now you've already planted a wet one on Martha Washington, Joan of Arc, and that lady that always got hit with the cream pie on The Three Stooges.  Enjoy heaven, you crazy dead Brit, you.   Colin Lionel Emm, dead at the age of 79.  Read more HERE.

Stayin' Alive my ass

 

Robin Gibb, the skinny Bee Gee, has died.  I thought he was a goner a little bit ago, then laughed quite loudly when he came back to life, taunting those with points riding on his breath.  Now it is he who taunts, making me write two of these in one day.  That jerk, always thinking of himself.  First of May would have been a perfect death date, but noooooooo... couldn't just do that one thing for me.  Anyway, by my count that now puts a majority of the Bee Gees in heaven... I'm looking at you Barry.  Robin Hugh Gibb, dead at the age of 62.  Read more HERE.

Ack, too many title choices!

 

Heaven Knows?  Last Dance?  Dim All the Lights?  Bad Girls headed for Hot Stuff?  This Time I Know it's for Real?  Never has a person been so generous to the death title writers as the dearly departed Donna Summer.  Former backup singer for Three Dog Night, Ms. Summer had many memorable songs, including... well, all those above.  Sadly no one picked her, so her points go the way of her genre.  Shame too, Kent's getting a little too confortable up there in 1st place.  LaDonna Adrian Gaines, dead at the age of 63. Without her, this doesn't happen:
