Musician Bret Michaels In Critical Condition.
In unrelated to the site news, you may or may not have heard that musician and more recently also “reality” TV star, Bret Michaels, of Poison, 47, is in critical condition suffering from a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is quite serious and, for those of you who may not know, it is bleeding around the brain.
I found out the way I usually do about ‘breaking news’ whether “celebrity” related or in my personal life, from someone else! My mom was watching some shitty show on TV when I was walking past her room and one of those annoying pop-up banners showed up on the bottom of the screen…she told me and I was like “Woah…him?” It was shocking as he is one of the last people I would imagine going anywhere anytime soon.
Coincidentally I fear hemorrhaging and cerebral aneurysms more than anything….brain related traumas and problems are always scary and usually life threatening…I wouldn’t even wish one on someone who has really burned me.
His family, friends, fans and especially children need him – so even if you aren’t a fan of his at all, please join the Vivacious Vickie staff in wishing the best for him. I did what I call “praying my own way” for Bret. I am not Christian or Atheist…I am not any religion but would consider myself mostly Agnostic…but believe in an afterlife and higher power. I do talk to the higher power but not by saying Our Father and what not, I don’t believe in a lot of the teachings about “God”, and think religion is…a problem, to be nice with words. I just talk, ask for guidance and for the Creator to protect those who have died and who are struggling to live and, well, all of us in general. This is something deeply personal to me that I don’t usually talk about but I don’t think it would be appropriate in any way to ask you guys to “pray” when i don’t do it myself.
Whether you are religious or not doesn’t matter. We are all human and entitled to our own beliefs, opinions and LOVE. We all deserve a hand to hold both literally and figuratively, when we are scared, suffering, etc.
Talk to the one upstairs for Bret? I have and will continue to hope for only the best for him. Never his biggest fan but always a supporter of Poison, I truly hope he makes it through this and recovers fully. Even if I didn’t like the guy at all, seeing as he’s a decent human being, I would still wish nothing but the best for him. I’m sure hospital peoples are doing everything they can to save him…it all comes down to whether or not he has done all he was meant to in this life and whether or not he is ready to move into his next space.
Actors, musicians and wrestlers have been dying way too young for decades and decades. This is to hoping Bret will not be the latest casualty.
