Last night Christina Grimmie who was on season six of The Voice and YouTube star died from gunshot wounds she suffered while signing autographs after a concert in Orlando. Grimmie was only 22. It is truly sad to have someone just starting out and with a bright future leave this world. She was pursuing her dream of making and performing music her way. Her fans have her videos and music she recorded in her short career but imagine what she would have done in the future. Now her family, friends and The Voice family mourn and try to make sense of it all. Ms. Grimmie, rest in peace, thank you for the music and being yourself. You left the world way too soon. God bless.

She put on one heck of a show. Etheridge is a talented musician and a quality human being.
Random Rambles #1
Here are some random things in my head…
- Movies are too dark, movies are too crass, humor seems to be fleeting, there is no happy medium.
- Changes on the job or status can really make for a bad week
- People need to chill out more. We are too high-strung.
- Donald Trump shouldn’t get anywhere near the Oval Office
- Some stuff sucks most of the time.
- The weekend is here, it’s about time.
- Everyone needs to learn more about the generations that came before.
Friday Night Movie – Notting Hill – A Super Rom Com
This gem from 1999 features a lot of stars. Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant, Hugh Bonneville, Emma Chambers, Richard McCabe, Rhys Ifans, Clarke Peters and Alec Baldwin among a few others.
Richard Curtis who also did Four Weddings and a Funeral along with Love Actually gives a screenplay that tells a great story about an unlikely romance between a high powered actress and a travel book shop owner. It’s a great romantic comedy.
