Wow I guess you don’t really know when you get called home. I need to start getting it together, after this drink.He apparently died while on the treadmill. I hope people don’t use this excuse as to why they can’t excersise. I can hear my father now.

I was a little caught of gaurd this morning when I got the text that Bernie Mac had died. I was in the middle of breakfast and had to inform everyone at the table of this news. I brought up the fact that he died from the same disease that my aunt suffers from Sarcodosis, and the fact that African-Americans get more than any other race. We also shared our fave Bernie Mac moment. I love his character in the Player’s Club, Ocean’s 11, and Life.

R.I.P. Bernie Mac you will be missed.
