What a sad wreck.

“And another thing. You don't have to "move on" either. Not until you're ready. People say, Oh, you should be grateful. They say, Oh, it's time for you to move on. I'm like, What are you, a cop with a nightstick? I'll move on when I'm done playing the blues on my harmonica, thank you very much.

Really, people will tell you all kinds of garbage. Don't believe it.

You don't have to move on until you're ready.”

I had no idea who she was, and when checking discovered that the incident is being treated by those close to her as an opportunity for tweeting.

Blech.

How awful for Woody and the rest of the family.

Miss A went to high school with her.. Last I knew she was dating Tilla Tequila. For some reason it seems more sad to people when someone of privelage throws their life away..

Ason, I keep planets in orbit.

It is Ms Tequila who is tastefully twittering about the tragedy. (No, I do not follow her tweets, it's just the first thing I found when I looked up the deceased).

Although clearly it's always sad when someone "throws their life away," it does seem somehow sadder when it's someone that appears to have it all, you know?
As opposed to somebody whose life has been a constant series of difficult and miserable struggles such that it could begin to feel hopeless and no longer worth the effort.

Although in Miss Johnson's case, it appears that while her life may have seemed charmed from the outside looking in, from the inside looking out, she obviously was dealing with some pretty big mountains.

Ever notice that "what the hell" is always the right decision?

The extended Johnson family has had a lot of public turmoil in the past several generations. That has to be very difficult for the kids who grow up in it.

It's ironic that her uncle Jamie Johnson made a movie about exactly that topic ("Born Rich").

My only complaint was that if they need to charge me $30 because they're robbing the duck to pay the boar they might as well give me a more substantial portion of flour, water, and bits of meat.

Um. Yup.
