Rest In Peace Bernie Mac 1957-2008
Bernie Mac dies this morning in a Chicago hospital from complications of pneumonia.
My friend Trouble and I had this conversation last night about life and death. Its hard when you lose the people around you and it makes you look at your own mortality. I did not know Bernie Mac, but he did have an effect on my life. He made me laugh on numerous occasions.
I sometimes wonder why I am here, and what I am here to do. I know its more then the daily humdrum. Sometimes I wonder what other people are put here for and are they doing what they are supposed to being doing. Well I believe Bernie got it right. He was one funny dude. I will never forget him on Def Comedy Jam when he came out and was yelling, "I ain't scared of you m* f*s!" And his part on the Kings of Comedy is my favorite. He went from Def comedy Jam to movies and always had me laughing. If it wasn't what he said, it was how he was saying it.
Lets celebrate Bernie Mac and the laughter he created, doing want he wanted to do and now he can do it with no pain or judgments. Cheers.
